Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson: Plan is Foolish, But Olympic Amateurs Might Beat Pros

The pro game tends to favor power? What pro game are you watching? The pro game tends to favor clinching and creating low output fights that's the difference...in the Olympics you win by scoring points by landing shots...in the pros you win by creating no-action.

Yes, it does have a greater emphasis on power. In a professional fight, whoever hurts his opponent more is likely to win the round. This is also why theres a big emphasis on defense in the pros. To protect yourself from the power.

That's also why you will see a lot of guys in the pros try to load up on one punch all the time and that can sometimes create a low action fight.
