    The ukrainian style

    If you dont have the power to constantly land to get their respect it drains you little by little each round. Loma, Uysk really have a crazy gas tank, never really seen something like this.

    That guy Gvozdyk who fought Adonis Stevenson also seemed to have endless stamina, and he was taking a lot of shots from arguably the hardest puncher in the division.

    It even seemed unreal to me and I remember asking whether this guy had undergone any drug testing and then I remembered that it was for the WBC title, so they were both theoretically randomly tested. No idea where they get that from.

      They have elite genetics and work ethic.

        What makes it more astonishing is its not just some brawler that walks you down taking punches would a good tank, they constantly faint, pivot, slip and slide while be the aggressor takes a lot more out of you when you have to account for so many things.

          Yes and they mix it up and don't overcommit to too many power punches until they really turn it up when they smell blood.

            yes and no. While feinting, and slipping shots does require great stamina, on the reverse side, nothing drains a fighter more than swinging and missing. So while these guys are draining themselves, their opponents are completely gassing themselves. By round 8 they have half a tank, but their opponent is on E.

              This is why I tell people to watch Olympic boxing. The 2008 +12 Ukraine squads were just something to behold.
