    He was boring af. Nothing to misunderstand there.

      I agree. he was quick, which is a refined quality, but not really fast and mismanaged.

      Quickness: Throwing shots with no telegraphing, economically...
      Fast: Roy Jones, Ali, etc... raw speed of delivery.

        He didn't go around stealing the points off a man, though, did he?
