When watching a fight, what do you fixate on?

[E.B.H]

I focus on the action.

My eyes watch everything that going on.

so I guess the fight in general.

The first thing I focus on (after they've felt each other out for a couple rounds) is who's dictating the pace of the fight. I think that is the most important aspect in how the fight will go. Solely because you'll see them feed off that and continue to take their fight to the opposition. No matter if it's a counter puncher, aggressor or a technician. I just seem to focus on that first and foremost. Then look for adjustments for the opponent to see if the fight will be close, interesting or a blow out.

After that it's quality punches, defense, and cutting off the ring/working off the ropes and the obvious body language. That's typically shown more when an opponent is beaten or plain confused.

I try to watch both fighters equally/at the same time. If you put those goggles on most tend to be biased towards who they watch. This is a reason body punches seem to not count for an under dog or the lesser known guy

You usually the first minute I look at the quality of punches and who is dictating the fight and then go from there. The Stevenson/Dawson fight was a good example. I saw the first few punches Stevenson threw were really moving Dawson. Then it was over in a few minutes. Same with Gonzales/Mares.

I dont understand, how do you watch a fight and not watch both? Im interested in boxing, so I watch everything.

It shifts really, sometimes I'll just start watching where they move their feet.
