Another trait not associated with such fighters is intelligence.

He won so I can't really get down on him, but his stance w/ his arms way down like a damn monkey is just f'ing ******. Call me old fashioned idc. If he was in the ring w/ someone equally as confident w/ equal physical abilities he'd get KO'd in the first round doing **** like that.

Theres better ways to lure someone into opening up than just leaving yourself so open like that.

slick style is superior

actually he proved to me quite the opposite. That pressure fighters willing to leg their hands go can make slicksters panic.

No.. letting their hands go would play into his game more, give him the chance to counter which is what he wanted. Barker was extremely disciplined.
