Nice fight..Not sure if I would say it was an example of pressure fighting..To me Pressure fighting is when you force an opening through punching..Or forcing your aggressive tempo onto an opponent and taking them out of their own timing and onto yours..Mr. Benton demonstrated excellent ranged defense against a ranged fighter and combined that with being a strong counter puncher to seal the fight.


P.S. That interpretation of pressure fighter is my mistake I was reading about it and in general it's used to describe someone who constantly advances..So the example it right..I was mixing it up with a Swarmer which are pressure fighters but not all Pressure fighters are swarmers..

I think you should slowly reread the blog and follow the study tips while watching the video. Key words "subtle" "the black belt way"

George Benton IS the philly shell!

That's not true. That style was in play long before that. The Philly Shell wasn't born in Philly. No Ideas original...

Not be taken so literal. But he was one of the greatest users of this style.
