You sort of see flashes of brilliance or think you do but is it really?
Its like he thinks he is much better than he is and fans/viewers become delusional when watching him, they buy into what he wants them too see, into believing he is this really talented, slick boxer but what I see is a guy who can do just about everything well but virtually everything he does is with absolutely no purpose or at the wrong times.
He is a try hard really he spends vast majority of the fight trying to look 'cute'. He almost gives you an impression without really doing anything without landing anything in fact. He fools peoples perception without even throwing a punch.
You see all this erratic head movement and think at times, hmm that was nice but the only times he isn't getting his head stoved in impersonating a slickster is when he is well out of range, moving his head for well no reason.
He isn't trying too counter, he isn't trying to close distance, it just serves no purpose. No wonder he gasses its just a total waste of energy.
He is just moving his head for the sake of looking pretty.
After last night do you know what I honestly thought? I came away thinking I'd of bet my house he'd batter Groves in a rematch now I'm really not so sure he would. I mean that too I think its rather evident there is not a lot to split them.
A good fighter with skills for sure but poor stamina, he is lazy, not a very high ring I.Q, way too arrogant and he has a terrible gameplan going into every fight. No adjustments at all.
Every fight he is ever in is the same as the last. Clearly a level or two above but ends up going life and death. People claim he fights up and down to opposition level but he does it every fight. When he steps up, he makes hard work of it just like he has at every other level.
I think if he dropped that ****** almost false ego (I don't think he's really like that just his attempt of being a showman) he'd do a lot better for it. Whilst it catches your eye and steals him rounds he p*sses away umpteen more doing it, it'll come back to haunt him like it did vs Groves and probably would of last night had the judges got it right and gave the rounds to the guy who was the one doing actual effective work to head and body. The guy trying to make a fight out of it not looking cute for 10 seconds.
