    this is boxing, and the greatest way to box is to hit and not get hit. So if this is the way someone does it, then i will be satisfied if the other guy is good enough to compete and create a dynamic

          according to the question if i am getting my money's worth about pot shotting... nope im not...

          what i want is a war in the ring... where one is getting hit not much and the other one is being overpowered by the barrage of punches coming into him.

            A professional fighter has to learn how to hit and not get hit, and at the same time be exciting. That’s what professional boxing is about. You’ve got to be clever, you’ve got to be smart, and not get hit, and when you’re able to do this, you’re a fighter."

              It's called boxing not brawling, if you go to a Mayweather fight or any other counter puncher expecting to see a war then you are a dumbass who deserves to waste money.

                    Most people don't appreciate a good technical boxer at work and are only happy if a knockout occurs. Me personally, i can watch someone outbox someone for 12 rounds and still feel like i've got my moneys worth as long as it wasn't that bad. Roy Jones Vs. James Toney is a great example of this, 1 knockdown and the rest was just the same throughout but it fascinated me how Toney got outboxed by Jones even when there was minimal action going on.
