Definition of a European Boxing syle?

[ИATAS]

No bend in the knees or back. Hands glued to the side of their head. Methodical workrate, but that is usually fighters from countries like Germany/Russia etc.

They don't have the greatest chins, very fundamental, they like to throw a lot of punches and then they usually stay on the outside, they try to score points with the judges, not a whole lot of head movement. Just look at Enzo Calzaghe's fighters for a good example.

[Davros?]

That's exactly what I understand of it also. One thing I've noticed while watching the Europeans (Not the British but the fighters from Germany and Russia, etc.) is that they don't move their heads.

Yeah i have noticed this, Most Euro fighters tend to have the stand up stance.

Is that Klitschko vs. Klitschko?

Thats actually a terrible description of a european boxing style, how the hell is the chin involved with technique and style? Europeans are actually economic with punches seeing as theyre taught not to waste energy. Lets indeed look at Enzo Calzaghe's fighters, how about his most famous one the unorthodox Joe Calzaghe.:

On topic: In a nutshell, the textbook style is resemblent of the european style

[Eric Holder]

Kessler and Sturm are good examples of this style

[MWMerlino]

usually nothing slick or tricky about their style, stand up and straight forward boxers with varying degrees of fundamental orthodoxy.

Would Kostya Tszyu fall into this category?
