When have boxers used a completely different boxing style and won ?

[WillieWild114]

Name a few fights were a boxer used a fighting style he has never used before and won against his opponent ?

[BirdSong]

i think i remember leo santa cruz lost a firefight v frampton & then in the rematch he changed his style to box him from the outside and won the rematch that way his opponent had short arms if i rmember right but good inside shots in the first fight

Anthony Joshua rematch vs. Ruiz.

Chiquita Gonzalez vs Michael Carbajal.

After getting knocked out in the first fight, a war, Gonzalez boxed more in the second and third fights, which he won.

Also, if my memory is correct, Tommy Morrison vs George Foreman.

More recently, Leigh Wood vs Mauricio Lara.

Tyson Fury came in with a different style vs Deontay Wilder to dominate and knock him out.

Tyson Fury came in with a different style vs Deontay Wilder to dominate and knock him out.

Oh yeah, I remember that fought. It was the second one, right?

I remember in an interview. Tyson Fury said "Deontay Wilder is used to coming forward with his devastasting right hand that has slept many of his opponents and no-one backing him up." So they came up with a forward strategy and got the win!

Canelo vs GGG 2. Came forward towards the heat and made GGG back up most of the fight. Fought completely different from the first fight

I wouldn't say it's a style Canelo never used before, but it is a style that I wasn't expecting and one that GGG wasn't used to

Well, most famously, Ali's "rope-a-dope" was a change in strategy.
