as much as i like kassims style he really needs to evolve and change into a counterpuncher or something later in his career like nard...otherwise i see him being a punchy bastard in 5 years, did you guys see how many power shots he took in that round?
This could he fixed, I've notice that fighters take punishment to gain fans. Two examples :
Mighty Mike - I was a huge fan of his boxer-puncher style until he fought this one Mexican he had almost out for 50% of the fight, and still played along with him, even taunting him to give a good fight, it was unreal how he could not kill him in the first 3 RD's, and made it to the 12th, his cheers were replaced with boo's that day. He was upset.
Corrales- with Castillo he didnt move, he came foward, and just planted himself infront of Castillo, no pressure involed, just planted himself by choice right infront of Castillo, maybe that explans how he got back up in the last RD, to quickly get a stoppage by moving to the outside.
