Because the guy you think about more than women popularized track and field boxing.
The type of boxing where you go backward the entire fight.
Inside fighting occurs when both fighters refuse to go backwards and all they can do is clash.
In the ancient ways, going backwards was a sign of defeat.Last edited by DARKSEID; 03-27-2014, 10:59 AM.

Provodnikov, Gonzalez, Golovkin, Ward, Hopkins, Marquez, etc. are all good inside fighters.
Very rarely is there ever a period that is packed full of good inside fighters.

An inside game today seems to consist of clinching, pushing off and getting the **** out of there. That's an inside game today.
Maybe if referees ever cracked down on clinching, this could change.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostOf course not. But you said just "clinching" which is different from what you're saying here. Throwback fighters knew how to hook one arm, turn you, create angles, etc. Clinching has always been a part of effective in-fighting.
