He's lethal with his body shots.
One more fight to unify then up to welter?

Have seen plenty of fighters stopped with body shots but have never in all my years of watching boxing seen a fighter in so much discomfort for such a long period after the punch.
One of the things about body shots is that if they land in such a way that they impact on the aorta they can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure. It's more common in shots that hit around the liver but it can happen across the torso.
I remember a few years back when Jose Luis Castillo lost to Ricky Hatton due to a body punch he said post fight that very suddenly he felt light headed and dizzy. The body punch also broke his ribs but he said he could have battled through the pain of that, it was the feeling faint and struggling to stand up that finished him. Of course Castillo was well shot by that point and maybe just wanted a way out to pick up his pay packet.
Maybe the guy did take a dive or milk it but I think that's doing both JT and his opponent a disservice. It was a solid body shot and there are a number of reasons why it could have caused so much distress.
Fight of the year

Willy Hutchison first round stoppage, looks good this kid. Good combinations decent hand speed. Impressed thats 13-0 now.
I’m not a big fan of the shows Frank Warren has been putting together for some time. Look at the state of Gorman.
Massive fight this weekend for the all the Lightweight marbles.
Lomachenko v Lopez. No UK provider has picked it up, so it’s £9.99 on FiteTV.
Can’t wait.
Boxing on sky at the moment. Ward's eyebrow hanging off after a head clash. Has to be said, pretty effing disgusting
Vazquez a class above here
Terry O'Connor absolute shambles
Probably just snuck the right result as Loma took too long to get going, but judges scorecards again, boxing is really broken at times
Big night of boxing on Saturday. Usyk v Chisora, with Kash Farook on the undercard. Then through the night Prograis v Herandez and Inoue v Maloney. Hopefully we’re in a good mood!
I had planned to have the start of the boxing on my iPad while watching our game, my amazing pals yesterday announced we should do a zoom call watch along of the game. Looks like I might miss the Farook fight now :rolleyes:
Davis V Santa Cruz is on Saturday night as well
IPTV required for the American fights as ridiculously haven’t been picked up by any UK channels [emoji849]

Tank V Santa Cruz is on channel 5 at 2am, not that I will likely be seeing it at that time after a Derby and an earlier PPV :greengrin
