Do some fighters willingly fight on the inside? Or is it only because they have to?

[Tom Cruise]

That thread is better. There's some absolute gem's I have missed out.

I don't think anything compares to that quote though

I wonder if he also believes that Hattons skill as an outside fighter is his ability to keep the fight on the inside?

[Capncrunch]

Another gem from him is "floyd being rocked in the 2nd" was worse than when Guillermo was rocked, and knocked down by a jab by Ricardo..... Haha, awesome stuff!

for me its a chin issue

if u want to look at this way

only the hard chinned fighters ever think about engaging in an inside fight

when they think they couldnt handle the inside game they go for the outside game

watch bradley for does
when he choose to engage inside game his head looks like its gonna get pulled off
watch floyd when he does stay inside he gets a bloody nose in cotto fight
watch khan when he thought he could fight in the inside he got KTFO

i know those boxers in one of their fight tried to box inside but when they realize they couldnt handle the pain, they change their game to go outside

its more like a choice that they wouldnt dare to try
if boxing outside is allowed in boxing why not use it, its part of it
whats bad though is it does really look boring
thats why most of those boxers that plays outside their promoter match them with someone that loves to chase them in the ring to make them marketable

No, no way.

Firstly, Dirk can form basic sentences.

Secondly, I highly doubt Dirk would say something so absurd.

Or maybe TensionKiller aka PensionKiller aka PandaKiller aka P*ssyKiller aka P.K. etc.etc.etc.???

His last couple responses were under his current username, then changed to InItToWinIt, then changed to the username before again. So if InItToWinIt was someone before, that's who it is.

Oh Lord

Now it makes sense.

Robinson also had terrible footwork and it was only because he was a limited boxer that he would fight on the inside with the likes of Basilio and Graziano.

Only scanned this thread but before the Rigo vs Donaire fight ''InItToWinIt'' was a guy shredding Rigo & posting pictures of apes & implying Rigo was an ape/gorilla, he went straight on ignore.

Like I said only scanned but if its the same guy, its a bit funny how he did that then jumped ship and did nothing but big Rigo up all weekend.

He seems like quite the limited child, I must say.

He recently was on an "I hate Mayweather" tirade then all of a sudden started overly praising him for around 4-5 days then all of a sudden changed his mind.

And if this guy is him, which going by the grammer and such seems likely, then now he's gone back to that.

Point being, I think when he see's something shiny he runs to it I.e Rigondeaux's performance on the weekend.

You should read the thread though, some guy wrenching stuff.

Even mentioned you in one of the posts

I'm curious, because I believe that some fighter's chose to fight on the inside, I apparently don't know anything about Boxing.

According to Tim2daresq in this thread;

Fighter's do not willingly chose to fight on the inside. Inside fighting is only something you do when you have to or are forced to.

Take Bernard Hopkins, for example. Is he a fighter who never willingly fought on the inside? Or did he fight there solely because he had no choice?

What do you think? Do some fighter's chose to fight on the inside?

I'm going to go a step further.

I don't think there's such a thing as "outside fighting". Please explain to me what fighting on the outside really means. I mean, you can stand at distance, move and box but when you need to connect, or exchange, you are technically "inside".

Everyone is an inside fighter, at one point or time. Some fighters like Brandon Rios for example, likes to stay in close. Some like to pressure, but every fighter has to fight on the "inside".

Even Mayweather, who is considered a counter puncher, can fight on the inside very well. My point is, you have to learn to be good in close because that's where 99% of boxing takes place, I don't care what you're style is.
