Just because there were more punches thrown and not alot of foot work doesnt make those fighter a b or c fighter. I understand its your preference to see a jab move ,use fancy footwork ,fight from the pocket and the boxing "science".. Once and a while its a refresher to see a nice brawl. Its called a warrior. Mayweather fights with his Head IQ and Canelo for example fights with his heart and his brains. Boxing is a sport of hitting and not getting hit but remember it is also entertainment. people pay for a fight!
Yeah it's about throwing punches, the thing is that I dont have a problem with guys being overly defensive slipping punches, or making guys miss, as long as they make them pay.
When it comes to fighters just staying on the outside, BARELY throwing right hands. You end of having to tally up a crap load of jabs, it's boring and doesn't show all the dimensions of boxing.
exactly thats why i cant stand Laras style. He can surely make you miss but doesnt make you pay at all. whats the point :D
exactly i dont get it. To me a hard landing shot id more impressive than slipping a jab or lateral movement.

Fighters are starting to miss the fire, the desire, they're becoming content, and for boxing fans, it's not good.
I've said it before
The difference is that people like to call someone who sits back playing defense skillful, Yet they call someone who only plays offense a bum, when it's the same one dimensional limitation.

Haven't seen it, but Figueroa is more of a prospect. He's not proven at all. Bad comparison to generalize the whole sport.
speaking of people that make terrible sweeping generalizations
boxing is prize fighting, only when cowards got involved it turned into hit and not get hit, and in theory is great but when you stink out the joint just to live up to that motto shows you have no moxy,heart and you disgrace yourself and the sport.
Think about this, someone disrespect your mother, and she looking as you and the dude that disrespected her are fighting. You think she wants to see you out point him? lol
I disagree. Outboxing someone badly can inflict a bigger beatdown psychologically than just plain knocking the other guy out cold. See: Leonard vs Duran 2
fights like Burns vs Figueroa just do nothing for me. Ive never been a fan of phone booth style fights. if you mix in boxing skills with an action packed fight that's the recipe for a great fight.
