The way to beat a pressure fighter is to make them go backwards

[Larry the boss]

Margarito/Mosley
Alvarez/Angulo

Good examples of this. These guys usually need rounds to warm up and to move forward to gain momentum on their punches. Walking them down or simply standing your ground limits their effectiveness.

Bingo..Margo was a monster coming forward, but when he got bullied in return he had nothing left but a smile on his fame...and people said oh Angulo did not look the same...cause he was forced to go backwards and was bullied

Bernard Hopkins.....didn't fight pressure fighters like that.......and won

[Daddy T]

Sure you can try to go backwards and counter but that will only give them momentum and you may win but you would have to use a lot of energy and take some punishment...you have to stand up to the bully and mind**** him.. Make him doubt his power and walk him down. Most pressure fighters can not fight going backwards and it will nullify their power and game plan.

this is not really true. pressure fighters like ... I dunno provodkonov love it when the opponent stands toe to toe and tries to force them back ... bradley tried that in round 1. When bradley started moving he clearly won the rounds. if algieri had stood toe to toe and tried to back provo iup he would have been Knocked out in a couple of rounds max.

If your're evander holyfied and have a great chin and an awesome inside game then yeah it can work but for 99% it's not advisable to stand and trade and try to back up guys like provo, lucas etc etc

Exactly ......

Look at how Bernard Hopkins fought Felix Trinidad, Kelly pavlik, Howard Eastman , shumenov...etc

It's all about playing to your own strengths too as well as exploring your opponents weakness . And if you can take your opponents best weapon and use it against them you have won the fight

BULL FIGHTER!


Keep it in the middle of the ring and circle him and when he does get you against the Ropes Clinch and either push him back to the middle of the ring or if you're not strong enough to push him to the middle of the ring turn him


Also TIMING THEM and Countering them, JMM fights his BEST against Pressure Fighters:


B-Hop is brilliant against Pressure Fighters As well because he has excellent timing and he is a good counter puncher

[Light_Speed]

Sure you can try to go backwards and counter but that will only give them momentum

Yes and then you can use that momentum against them.

Margarito/Mosley
Alvarez/Angulo

Mosley was backing up and countering Margarito with bombs.

It depends on the type of pressure fighter and the ring IQ of both fighters. And it's true that not all pressure fighters are punchers.

[Masters01]

I would say the WORST way to fight a pressure fighter is to play their game and try to push them back. Sticking and moving is the best way. You don't see fighters like Pernell trying to back up DLH, or Khan trying to push back Maidana. That's playing into exactly what they want.
