    Being aggressive while simultaneously neutralizing your opponents offense without resorting to underhanded tactics, e.g., excessive clinching, ducking below the waistline, elbows, and low blows.

    Basically what Chocolatito did to Sosa this past Saturday.

      Seriously a boxing lesson is mayweather vs coralles
      rigo vs donaire and Trinidad vs vargas. I think a boxing lesson is where your opponent can't connect and you connect at will like mayweather vs Canelo he just stood in the pocket

Also if one boxer KO/TKO's their opponent at anytime of the match, even if they're down on the cards, wouldnt that be considered, "Giving them a Boxing lesson" as well? KO's/TKO's are a HUGE part of the sport so Id think so. But what are your thoughts?
        watch Floyd v canelo, Floyd v Manny, Barrera v Hamed or the 1st 8 rounds of ODH v Tito to see what this phrase means.

          Kovalev vs. Bhop.

          12 Rounds of pure boxing. Bhop should have had a pen and pad in his hands instead of gloves. Nard was the slickest fighter of this generation, until he met the Krusher.

            When you don't have a clue what took place, that's what you say. Makes you sound good.

              loma vs Gary Russell Junior.

              Rigo vs Donaire.

              Sergio Martinez vs JCC jr.
              Loma vs Russell is a good example, IDK how the cards were so close.

                  I think Mayweather vs Corrales was an annhiliation more than a lesson lol
