Boxing is hard to promote as it is as it's no longer mainstream. People want excitement, they want KO's. What they don't want to see is excess running or clinching. What Rigo and Lara fans don't realize is that they do it to themselves in terms of not being able to get big fights. Lara had his chance against Canelo and ran the whole fight. I understand the sweet science aspect but he straight up ran. If Rigo was more offensive minded instead of holding anytime he thinks he's gonna get hit he would get big fights. That's why he is fighting in Japan with his boring style. I don't justify people ducking these dudes but part of them are to blame. No one wants to see a boring fight.

When he's not running he's usually clinching.

Does Lomechenko run and hold too much?
