The thing that makes boxing better than any sport is the variety of ways you can excel at it.
We had the defensive wizardry of Floyd.
We will soon miss the incredible athleticism, brilliant footwork, and speed translated into power of Pac.
We have Spence, who will be the next great fighter- and I mean generationally great.
We have the phenom Lil g who has skill but uses sheer power as his calling card.
We have Ward, a defensive genius that can adapt to anything and beat you outboxing you or with power.
We have Kovalev, who is a rare combination of skill and devasting power.
I LIKE ALL OF IT.
We just saw a proud Paulie fight what should be his last fight of the year, a man who couldn't punch his way thru a wet paper bag yet competed at a high level with the best the sport had to offer for decades.
Props to you Sir, and I will see you Canastota.
What we saw last night in Brooklyn has been happening since the sport began. Two powerful fighters respectful enough of each other's power to box instead of slug.
It was entertaining and I hope the fight on the 18th is as good.
Then we had the UK fight, which will definitely be talked about when folks discuss year end highlights.
An upset with as courageous a last 5 rounds as you will see any fighter fight.
This sport is definitely not dead or even dying.
And if last night was any indication, the best is yet to come.
