Fight fans stunned by 'sickening' body shot from hell
Boxing fans were left completely stunned after watching a boxer cop a body shot that ‘shifted his organs’.
On the undercard to Tyson Fury v Deontay Wilder at Staples Centre, Jarrett Hurd sent the crowd wild with the finishing shot right into the body of his challenger Jason Welborn.
28-year-old Hurd improved his record to 23-0 with the vicious body shot, although some fans and commentators argued a couple of his lead-up punches were below the belt.

Englishman Welborn attempted to get up from the shot, but could only stagger to his feet after the referee counted to 10.

Fight fans were quick to share their amazement at the vicious blow to the body on social media.
Welborn I believe had punched himself out, made him very vulnerable to a perfect body shot.

BIG body shot from Hurd and that takes out a very game Welborn.

Wow what a crazy fight. Respect to Welborn for pressing the action. He was definitely winning that fight up until that nasty body shot by Hurd. #HurdWelborn

Oooh Welborn was gaaaame! But Hurd retreating all the time isn’t a good look. All he needs to do is be aggressive. What a killer body shot!! Pure power💥 #HurdWelborn #WiderFury

How does Hurd get away with that? 2 definite low blows to Welborn in the build up to the knock down. He had Hurd thinking and was having excellent joy fighting inside. Gutting to go out like that but it s a sickening shot to come back from.
Hats off👏#HurdWelborn #WilderFury
