            Quintana vs Williams fits the bill here.

            Mayweather vs Corrales is another.
            Floyd v Gatti/Hatton also

            Canelo v Kirkland

              OP means come-forward styles.

              Danny G beating Matthyse for example

                Bad timing on your part

                Someone already pointed that out looooooooong before you.

                Margarito was a clear brawler who got shown how feeble his brawling style was when up against a real talent.

And I fully acknowledge that in that era, applying pressure weighed more heavily than effective defense. But Pastrano looked like a snake-charmer, the way he was leading him around all night.
                  Pastrano did nothing but back pedal.

                  One of the biggest robberies of all time.

                    So someone had a gun to Johnson's head forcing him to follow?

                    It's not Pastrano's fault that Johnson couldn't cut-off the ring, or mount an effective offense. It's disappointing that Pastrano didn't do more; he didn't really capitalize on Johnson's predictability. But at the same time, you can't penalize a fighter for what he doesn't do.

                    If you wana say it was competitive rather than dominant. But if you think that was a robbery, you don't get Boxing.

                      It was an absolute CLEAR robbery. Everyone knows that.

                      He did cut off of the ring, he landed all the clean effective hurtful punches whilst Pastrano literally ran for the entire fight.
