One punch. One target. One of the most feared shots in combat sports.

Why does a liver shot stop fighters in their tracks?

In this episode of Inside Fight Medicine, I break down the science behind boxing’s hidden weapon.

Unlike a knockout from a punch to the head, a perfectly placed liver shot can trigger an intense autonomic nervous system response through the vagus nerve. Watch out for a full explanation in my next video.

Most people watching this saw chaos.

As a ringside physician, I saw something very different.

This one raised a lot of important questions from a medical perspective.

Tournament boxing is not just about skill and power. Recovery may be the real difference between winning and fading late in competition

Inside Fight Medicine breaks down why recovery may be the real key to winning.

A fighter doesn’t always need to be unconscious for a brain injury to become dangerous.

Sometimes the warning signs appear later.

Question
More and longer observation after tough fights?

@joshysaysstuff Thanks. Please follow me for more boxing medicine. Just getting started.

Standing does not always mean safe.
Usyk forced the stoppage with unanswered punches and Verhoeven no longer showing intelligent defense. From a ringside physician’s perspective, that changes everything.

Good stoppage or too early?

@KossakTier You got it. And as fans we al wyd want the action to continue but he got to protest the fighter to fight another day. Please follow me for more boxing medicine.

Not every battle in combat sports is visible to the crowd. Some happen long before the first punch is thrown.

What do you think affects fighters the most outside of their opponent? 🥊

Sometimes the fight is lost before the first punch is thrown. Dehydration changes endurance, reaction time, and performance. Inside Fight Medicine with DA Boxing Doc.

Inside the skull, the brain can continue moving milliseconds after impact, stretching and stressing delicate brain tissue. That’s why even a “small” punch can sometimes lead to serious neurological consequences over time.
Fight smart.

Some fighters lose the fight long before the final bell and sometimes the bravest thing a fighter can do is stop.

Knowing when NOT to continue can prevent permanent injury or even save a life.
