Should boxers ignore defense and movement and just trade punches?

      With defence you will see the 12th round that's all Nelo wanted, and may speak better in retirement. But every minute your defending yourself your not scoring. The guy firing punches at you is the one trying to win fight, whilst your trying to survive fight and hear final bell

        Larry is the king of the leading question.

          No. But when a muh ****a says they're going to KO someone and they plan to hurt their opponent, dont get in there and dance around like a fůcking fairy

            I guess it would depend on if they have judges in the tank or if they suspect that their opponent has judges in the tank. Very hard to answer the question today with some of the score cards we've seen.

              Great defense can be entertaining especially if they are in the pocket avoiding shots.

              The issue for fans comes when the not get hit part becomes a bigger concern for the fighter than the hit part.

              Tbh,I never criticise any fighters really. I’m not getting hit at all

                Long time fans should know better though.

                Everytime Floyd was at WW and said he was gonna KO someone, I laughed.

                    There's a difference between defense and movement to someone running and fighting like a coward.

                      Nah, boxing is an art. And i would prefer it stays that way. Not trying to patronise anyone but i can watch bareknuckle fights on Youtube if i wanted unskilled art.
