    Fights in which fast footed fighter loses to flat footed counter puncher

    Hey guys I am looking for film in which a fast footed semi defensive minded fighter (ex. Bradley, Thurman, Lara, Mayweather) loses to a flat footed counter puncher. I can't think of any legit examples (please don't recommend Lara v. Canelo...) of this happening. Thanks.

    Also if anyone wants to discuss the strategy for this type of fight (coming from the flat-footed person's pov) please discuss.

    I am trying to come up with a gameplan for this type of fight.

            I would have said Khan v Garcia but you also said defensive minded. Also Khan's footwork isn't that intelligent so probably not worth mentioning.

            Marquez v Manny: 3 (robbery) and 4.

            Yeah, James Toney must have a few.

              he said semi defensive (Whatever it mean) and said Thurman so Khan is fine too i guess

                as for strategy,,, flat footed guy has to lure in the opponent and make them comfortable enough to start opening up.. once they open up and start punching, thats the time counter...

                thats why you see toney always going back into the ropes, luring guys in

                You either need excellent upper body defense like toney,, or be able to eat punches and fire back like marquez


                the whole key though is getting the opponent to punch at you... Marquez and toney get stumped when guys like roy or chris john or bradley don't open up and stay on the outside with potshots
