What shot hurts you the most?

Liver shot, not even a discussion. There is nothing like the feeling that your body can't go on and the glorious "what the hell is that"-thought.
This and wherever you've been hurt before, even if it doesn't hurt, but it kinda messes up your head. After I broke my nose, I was very cautious the first few times in sparring, and whenever my nose got hit, I immediately switched to security mode, very frustrating.

I sometimes get myself outmached since I'm one of the 2 southpaws at my gym and from time to time some better boxers need to practice against leftys.
Of course I could of just said no, but what the hell, I went for it. Man oh man did I end up regreting it. So I'm thinking I'll be practicing my good ole routine, use my reach, keep him at bay and piss him off with the trusty jab, but mind defence a bit more since I knew this guy packs some power. My current stamina level couldn't compare to his so I said to myself, maybe do some counter punching also and try to keep a clear head.
That old Tyson line sure applied to me the *Everyone's got a plan untill they get hit* one. I couldn't really complain since the guy didn't go all out, diddn't turn the spar in a slugfest, he was just explosive, fast and precise, all in all, I got my ass handed to me.
What did the trick was a straight right bellow the ribs in the middle, close to the stomach. I had to put the knee down and call it a day. Of all shots taken that one gets me the most. After the spar I got to talk with the dude and he said he went about 70% of his power on that one. I ussualy don't mind gettin hit in the head since I ussualy go with the hooks and shoulderroll and I keep myself away from jabs and straight rights, but I hurt from bodyshots like hell. I get my ab workouts done and use the medicine ball but they still get me.
What's your least favourite shot to get hit with in a spar or match?

Bottom line is I got schooled, nothing wrong with it though, live and learn. Could of done without that last hit though.

a str8 to the face lol
I'm extremely new to boxing. I recently took it up as a hobby with a group of friends. We spar a lot basically. We don't use headgear cuz the only thing we bought wuz the gloves.
Well I usually eat punches but 1 of my friends has a strong right straight. And I could feel it. Body shots don't rly hurt, but I'm guessing that's because I prob never got hit hard enuf.

i have been hurt with a bad ass plexus shot in the earlier days, like all power on it from a big ass heavyweight, that was bad ass. i got a small concussion from a pro HW, from a left hook i never saw coming. and i had some days that my liver or where it is felt a little sore.
i remember someone punched me on the side of my neck, and i think he hit that artery on the neck cuz i remember being lightheaded for a split second.. and then i went on a barrage where i threw one of my favorite combo's: some hooks followed by a monster left uppercut to catch the dude when ducking down, another favorite: just the uppercut out of the shoulder roll on the smartasses trying to act like Joe Frazier, throwing the hard left or right hooks.
