Martinez, counter punchers and rematches

Counter punchers are better observers and can make adjustments in the ring. Martinez is a smart fighter too...

Solid post, green K sent off topic: did you watch that Tyson vid? Not yet, sorry bro. Will get to it at some stage. Cheers for the link.

As a general rule....yes i think they do. Counter punchers look to figure the opponent out. Specifically what patterns they have, what punches they throw and importantly what angle the punches are coming from and where the opponents feet are. Once a counter puncher figures out the opponents pattern and where the punches are coming from it's generally over. This is why i think counter-punchers tend to start slowly. Think JMM and Mayweather. Think about Mayweather vs Castillo, Floyd's only rematch. Or think about it this way.....if Floyd rematched Shane, Oscar, Hatton, Judah and JMM straight after he beat them do you envisage him doing better and dominating even more?? I do. I agree 100%.....I also believe B.Hop would've beaten Calzaghe in a rematch :cool2:

no, you just picked some famous fights where it looks like that to prove your curious rule. LMFO Thanks for the valuable contribution. You did notice I posed it as a question, never stated it as a fact?
