Does last night confirm Brawling is a dying fighting style?

[k1llu]

Pacquiao, Martinez, Marquez, Cotto, Donaire i wouldn't call those guys brawlers they are all technically skilled boxers, they don't have the best defense but they're far from being brawlers.

This is the wrong day to claim brawlers are dying.

[SOPH~ REP.]

Maidana had a great gameplan but not enough effect came in( 165>147) to rough up May but faded half way through the fight would've been better at 150

I'm just glad we got to witness the transformation of boxing. Kids are going into the gym with their TMT snapback sayin 'I want to learn how to slip, and shoulderoll like Money" they aint sayin " I want to learn how to block punches with my face like Marquez" or " I want to learn how to take a nap on the canvas like Pacquiao"

Imitating Floyd is going to get some fighters hurt with a quickness just ask Berto or Broner.

Face first brawlers, you are ignorant to boxing and how one goes to learning to box in the first place.

TS has gone full ****** lolz.

i just had this thought but if you notice all the brawlers have taken L's recently. There actually isn't any undefeated or top brawler anymore. Defensive oriented fighters are dominating more then ever before.

It must not be since the skilled/defensive fighters in bold love to get into a heated mess.


And the Brawlers in bold are far from being just brawlers.
