Can some one please explain what "exposed" mean?

Lmao this. If anyone exposed Wilder it was Dauhaupis when Wilder got his own feet tangled together throwing bombs lmao

Lol. Exactly. If you think wilder got exposed by fury you are really exposing your boxing knowledge and eye

I agree with OP. Let's breakdown what the term actually means...

To be exposed, means you were in a fight where you've shown to lack an ability that the majority of fans thought you had.

Good example: Adrien Broner was exposed against Marcos Maidana as it was discovered that he actually doesn't have the ability to box going backwards. He never had to at the lower weights because of his size and strength, but it was assumed by most that he had the ability simply based on his athleticism and hype. Since then, Broner has shown to always be more effective coming forward letting his hands go.

Bad example: People say Fury exposed Wilder's inability to box. That's wrong, as most people knew Wilder lacked boxing skills to begin with, especially when compared to someone like Tyson Fury. That fight went exactly how it was supposed to go. Either Fury gets knocked out or he wins with his boxing ability. No one was exposed in this fight.

Great post. I’ll add one, Mosley exposed Margarito. Just like Broner, Margs can’t fight off the back foot. He’s literally come forward or nothing. Shane exploited it by shoving Margs back. Cotto did the same in the rematch.

Much as I like to needle Charlo fans, I do not think Korobov "exposed" Jermall. Korobov is still one of the highest skilled fighters today. I'm still not certain if Charlo is great or just very good but coming up short in the skill dept. against Korobov is no great shame.
If Jermall had had the same fight against Monroe then maybe a case could be made. Korobov's performance was inspired, if he had trained for 12 with that same enthusiasm he might well have had a clear victory.

You make it sound like korobov is p4p lol, hes 44th in the world and got stopped by andy lee and not really ever done anything as a pro.

When a guy hyped up to beat golovkin and canelo, gets countered all night and arguably lost to a C level fighter who took the fight on 2 weeks notice and had only fought an opponent who was 16-12 in space of 2 years. Thats what being exposed is

agian charlo has beaten better guys, so exposed or bad day at the office?

Great input. Using the term as defined

if a fighter professional fighter struggles with another professional fighter or loses a close fight or has a draw, hes exposed... that's how it works around here...

Maybe logic can out way irrational thinking....of topic love the av Lamont is a throw back fighter that is under appreciated. But i guess he doesn't get the love because he's been "exposed" lmao

Whos he beat? He sc****d past a shopworn trout and got booed when the decision was announced. As far as im concerned his limitations were exposed against korobov and hes not the fighter his fans were hyping him to be.

[Madison Boxing]

They were gassing this guy up as a killer and he damn near lost to some old inactive guy who most people had forgot even exists.

I'm coming of the opinion that EVERY fighter should get robbed at some point in their career just so that the ****** fanboys can STFU about 0s on records and about guys being exposed.
