European Style of Boxing - Pros and Cons
Collapse
-
The only thing about the Euro style that bothers me is they don't load up on their punches when they need to. I feel like a lot have to be taught when to turn up the heat after an opponent is hurt.
Loma against Saildo and gary russel was not sitting on his punches the way he is now. If he can continue to increase his technique and power he will be truly scary to fight.
I also don't really like the arthur abraham super high guard, constantyl. I feel like it makes punches predictable and leaves the fighter open at times. IF you can move your feet, there is NO reason to have a guard up blocking your eyes the whole fight. I think blocking is necessary but i see the guard up hampering fighters athleticism

Hamed, Eubank, Benn, Froch are some of the best to lace em up in the last 30 years.
Counteract that with Hopkins, Jones, May, Winky and nowadays the likes of Thurman, Porter, at times TC, DA et al who hardly go after opponents. Cmon man, dont be stupid.
