    How do you fight a fighter with a very negative style?

    In your opinion,
    if your the trainer of a fighter and he’s fighting a fighter who’s athletic, crafty(knows how to bend below the waist, turn his head in the clinch, clinches a lot, etc.), uses the ring a lot, holds and hits, postures a lot, does awkward movements to throw your guy off, turns your fighter, smart(if he gets hurt he’ll tackle your fighter, flop, complain of low blows or phantom fouls, waits for your guy to punch to counter) and doesn’t throw many punches so less opportunities for your fighter,
    What do you tell your guy in the corner going in round 2?

    Those points are why this style is looked down on. No idea how you fight a guy who’s entire style is surviving, avoiding, negating and he has as much skill as you.

      Be physical and use dirty tactics if need be to throw off his game. Try to piss him off and see if he slips.

        What fight are you referring to? Going into Round 2? Lol. Here’s my take

        I mean if your opponent is doing all that in the feel out rounds then you should be able to capitalize on that rhythm past 4 rounds.

        Usually if your guy holds a lot it frustrates u naturally to do the same, until you snap, and you complain to the ref that he’s doing it. If the ref is allowing all that nonsense then take advantage of it. Usually in such fights fighters say “he was fighting dirty too.”

          Go to the body, use your own feints to set traps. Punch them all over including chest and elbows and aim at their throat.

          Even the best boxers can be feinted...see Madiana Mayweather 2

              Don't bother with head-shots, just deliberately hit them in the arms, throat, and to the body.

                I'd fight him like Spence. Constant pressure, ignore the head, be physical, push them toward the ropes, use head control to manipulate them where you want.

                  The only way to fight a guy like that is to throw caution to the wind. Make it very physical and uncomfortable because I think most guys who fight that way don’t really like high contact fights anyways.
