    Which of these schoolings was better?

    Two of my many favorite schoolings, both of which occurred in a short time period. Both guys using the high-guard defense technique, and then countering beautifully.

    Marlon Starling against Lloyd Honeyghan

      I really like the Starling one, at least Benn scored some shots but Starling humiliated Honeyghan, and this was almost at the end of his career, good one.

          Starling completely demoralized Honeyghan.He had the aggressive,hard as nails Honeyghan running away from his at one point during the middle rounds.Not until Paul Williams fought Antonio Margarito had I seen a fighter throw as many punches during the opening couple of rounds like Honeyghan did.


          Other than the knockout,I don't think benn was humiliated like that.It was a hell of a fight while it lasted.

            Definitely has to be Starling. That was just beautiful boxing.
            Watson was impressive as well, but Benn is wild with his shots which makes it a little easier to defend. Plus a thumb in the eye never helped anyone.
