through the amateurs system when it was about tallying points. Tip tap boxing. So they had to have high workrate over a few rounds. If you used Lopez tactics in the amateurs back when Lomachenko was fighting in the Olympics, you wouldn’t score enough points. But the pro game is very different to the amateur system back 10 years ago or so.
Don’t argue with me son, I have forgotten more about boxing than you will ever know, you will look ******
