    European fighters stand to upright, little to no headmovement

    think about what i said befor you guys hate, and you'll realise what im saying.

    i first noticed it when i saw Bradley fight witter, and witter was open to rights cuz he had no head movement,

    then i begain to look into it, hatton has 0 head movement.
    witter stands to upright.

    wlad has no headmovement and stands upright, but he can pull it off becaz he's like 6'8 or somethin.

    and i noticed it in the european that chambers fought.

    for all the guys that train boxing in europe, do they teach this style?

    that is the european stereotype, which is mostly true (not always I mean calzaghe doesn't really fit into any category).

    But they are also usually very technically skilled fighters. Standing upright, having your feet set, etc. is probably the more correct way of fighting. It's just not as efficient imo.

      i know there's some exceptions, but it leaves you open to counters to much imo.

        yeah that's true.

        I don't know why but all regions and even ethnicities have their own style of fighting (generally speaking of course).

        European
        Mexican
        African American
        Cuban
        etc.

        It's just difference in training, culture (think how important Pride is to Mexicans which explains their style of fighting), etc.
