Defense is important, but if you do just enough to win the round, it makes for boring fights. Fighters need to be throwing more than 30-35 punches per round, and stop all the clinching and running.
I remember posting similar to the following about the BJS vs Canelo:
The guy almost withdrew from the Canelo fight because he's demanding a large ring. And that pissed me off.
Here he was with all his braggadocio of wanting the fight, his game plan was to run like Lara.
And he actually thought Canelo fights like Lemieux, who BJS clowned with. And I said,
you don't beat Canelo, or at least get a competitive performance with a sh***t plan like that. You fight fire with fire.
It's mostly mental. You don't fight like you're being bullied, that nothing can hurt you. If you plan to run, then
you don't belong in there with a more mentally fit fighter.
This probably have nothing to do with the topic, but there are all kinds of cases.
The point here, is both Boots and Canelo were expected to KO their C-level opponents and failed to do so.
We need to respeck these guys who can make the top guys look like crap. Because that's harder to do than to just eat punches over 12.
