A "liver punch" is a left hook to the body, where the liver is. A good one will bring you down and make you go numb - it's one of the more damaging, legal punches in boxing.

Liver Punch
He stood in front of the mirror, examining the bruise that colored his side. It wasn't healing as quickly as he had wanted - it had been hours since the fight, and the pain still shot up his spine every time he moved. It was probable that Kagome had been correct, and he had a broken rib. Sesshoumaru would not tell her, of course. Even a severe fracture would mend soon, and she had already fretted over him far too much.
The memory of Kagome's concerned, gentle touch on his ribs suddenly morphed into an intense image of her hands sliding up to his chest, and her lips pressing against him. Everything of hers was pressing against him. He could feel her soft hair tickle his skin and smell the scent of her lavender soap. It was fleeting, but the stabbing pain of his injury was nothing in comparison to the shudder of sensation that flowed through him with such a picture in his mind.

What in the hell was that?
