    Definitely not. It actually pains me to see it.

      Not gratuitously...

      But I enjoy a brutal fight where physical and mental resources are taxed. If I have a wager on a guy, the sooner the better for me. And if a guy is over matched and at risk, I say pull him out before he takes severe damage. I don't like to see guys take unnecessary punishment. Fights can be like baseball, low scoring affairs or bombs away with many runs (punches) landing. Fights and styles are interesting in how they end up shaking out. But fighters shouldn't be trashed for their styles. They are using their best assets to win. Example: Floyd would be silly not to utilize his defensive gifts while GGG would be nuts to peck and poke with the bricks he has in his hands.

          This is good advice for any up and coming fighter. You've got to pace yourself out there. you definitely don't want to blow your load too early.

                  I can appreciate a boxers technical skills, but I DO love watching two guys in the ring beating the sheit out of each other. Let there be blood.
