Why did RJJ look to counter punch? When he was fast enough to just attack?

[ironalex]

Why didnt he strike first more often, without waiting for them to throw 1st?

Couldnt he just do that with his immense speed advantage?

Even if they read his shot he would still get their first b4 their counter?

Just because you're quick doesn't mean that you should sways lead. Timing beats speed and if someone was to time Roy's speed it would give them a bit more of a chance. The best quality of Roy was his ring intellect, match that with his speed - and it's a damn near impossible man to beat

The most effective way to fight for a normal person is not the most effective way to fight for RJJ, you are wrong on this one Roy is really smart!

Sure as he got older it didnt pay off but when you are older your best days are behind you, its more about what you can do at your best rather than how long you can last in the sport

It is never better to know less.
