    Stylistic preferences
    1. Pure Boxes [jab and footwork. combos usually 2 punches seldom goes beyond 3. comfortable at a distance]
    2. Counterpunchers [defend and strike. make the opp open up provoke with jab, feint, or false openings throwaway punches]
    3. Boxer-punches [regularly does 3-4 punch combos in the pocket in addition to pure boxing]
    4. Swarmers [high volume pressure fighters who do their best work from mid range to close quarters]
    5. Stalkers [calculated pressure fighters with power rather than volume]
    6. Sluggers [that one big punch to change everything very danger at mid range]
    7. Plodders [slow feet pressure fighter]
    8. Brawlers [take 1 to land 1 likes mid range to close quarters]
    Top Soviet Bivol went from a boxer-punch to pure box. Beating Artur twice were tremendous learning experiences. We’ll see if Bivol uses the knowledge to add counterpuncher to his repertoire

      I like whatever boxer, I admire as an individual i.e. Because of their character and personality.

      Note: And for the most part of my lifetime, those fighters have been African American fighters. But the most recent fighters I have supported and admired are David Haye the British former Unified Lineal Ring Magazine Cruiserweight and Heavyweight World Champion. And David Price a former Olympic Bronze Medallist and British, Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion'.

      Since the retirement of David Haye, I have not really built a strong rapport with any fighter 'this has predominantly been a conscious decision of mine. Quite simply I don't really think many fighters compare to David Haye's ambition or maverick attitude in the game, especially within British Boxing. And that goes for both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, I think Haye skill for skill was more talented than both of those fighters and pound for pound overall he was a better fighter'.

      A fan base of a fighter can sometimes effect may decision to support that fighter 'Tyson Fury's fan base throughout the years has altered dramatically. Once upon a time, people would openly mock Fury and his gypsy heritage. And then when they saw that he was winning at World and Elite level, those same people within the UK, decided to support Tyson Fury. I have always believed that Tyson Fury has been aware of this, and that is why he does play games and has no issue with turning himself into a heel during his boxing career'.

      To conclude: But overall I am not a group think individual, therefore? I don't just side with a athlete or boxer because they are from a certain country or town. And I definitively don't just support a fighter when they are winning, or considered what is hot right now in the game. If I am intrigued by a fighter and their story, I will most likely support them throughout their entire career win or lose until there is no more. And they have retired' etc.

          I support fighters based on skill, work ethic, and personality above all else. Honestly, I’ve always thought sports are a lot more enjoyable when you’re impartial, seeing talent from all races and backgrounds makes the experience richer.
