Comments Thread For: Late Substitute and Long Shot Sebastian Fundora Unseats Tim Tszyu In Bloody Las Vegas Battle

Sticking and moving is fine, but landing harder cleaner punches should count for something?
Fundora used the jab not as offensive tool. It was a defensive tool to keep Tszyu on the outside and break up Tszyu attacks and his rhythm.
So he was spoiling while Tszyu was setting up his attacks.

Most people thought that Fundora won because they saw the volume of jabs and saw it as offense.
It was not, he was fending off Tszyu's attacks.

My point is sticking and moving and largely avoiding exchanges is not how you win titles.
It's not dominant.
You can defend your titles this way, but not win them like this.

So there should be different criteria within a fight to determine who wins? Shouldn't both fighters enter a given fight with the same requirements to win? Based on that bolded statement you appear to feel otherwise.

Why should the challenger not be able to win a fight in the same way a champion is allowed to win? Once the bell rings there shouldn't be a difference between who was the champ coming in and who was the challenger. Both men are on equal footing (no benefit given to one or the other by the judges) and both deserve a fair and equal path towards victory.
