liver shot
Organ-targeting punch
A liver shot is a punch or kick targeting the liver, located on the right side of the body just below the ribs.
In boxing and martial arts, a well-placed liver shot causes intense, debilitating pain that can drop an opponent regardless of their toughness or willpower: He folded from a liver shot in the third round.
The body blow is prized for its effectiveness against even the most determined fighters.
