    Straight up and down = Come forward fighter.

    No special effects = Nothing special in his game, all power, can get outboxed if he fights a good boxer.

            Is it code for white (east euros)? Stiff and robotic. Sort of like the joke about how whites can't dance

              It means IMO that It is no dimensions to him. He is never going to do something you don't see coming he is what he is. He is a Power Puncher with excellent Basic Boxing skills who like to come forward and walk his opponent down and punish him.

              But then you have fighters who can fight Inside, Outside, Off The Backfoot, Timing, can execute Offensively and still be responsible defensively. Can strike their opponent and be GONE by the time their opponent tries to counter. A real huge Special Effect is being able to make adjustments Instantly when something isn't working! Those are Special Effects IMO at least.

              Special Effects definition is "Visual Illusion"

                Yeah it's evolved to mean that. Like to me, GGG is nowhere close to a basic fighter with no special effects but he's been dumped into the bucket with other stiffs and power punchers.

                Dominic Wade is going to get a rude awakening if he truly believes that.

                  Ishe Smith said that they guys at the gym call him (Mayweather) "The Matrix", lol, so I guess it makes sense that he often talks about 'special effects' and stuff like that.
