    Why don't we have any early rounds wrecking machines these days?

    All the top fighters now all seem to do the same thing, give early rounds away then take over and stop or win a ud

    Where's the first round ko artists?

    I wanna see a guy taking heads off seconds after the first bell

          Lol, fights where elites fight each other very rarely stop by early KO. Hearns - Hagler is not the rule.

            Brook should've let his hands go and tried to land that chocolate brownie.

            As soon as Bud started timing his shots, Brook fell to bits.

                Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking. You can't let these guys think and get your timing down.

                    There’s definitely a lot of early feeling out rounds these days. You can throw 7 jabs in round one compared to 6 jabs from your opponent and that’s worth the same point as you’d score by out-landing by him by 20 punches in a later round. I know people don’t want to get caught early, but I’m surprised how many fighters let the first couple rounds go by a punch or two.
