good luck
Yeah Ward fought Bika and Barrera very very close...but he was the American and the A-side fighting in Karaganda Kazahkstan, sorry Oakland California...so he got really wide cards in those fights.
If Bika or Barrera (or any Cuban really) was from the US, they would have much better records and a much better legacy...if Ward was from another country no one would really know who he was...he just wasn't that good of a boxer...just is what it is.

BHop was a great fighter...boxed dirty a lot but he could also box so he's cool with me...he has his faults in the ring too though, just like GGG or any other boxer really...romanticizing him and hating on GGG just never made any sense to me really.

Take your time.

Defense: Defense is important because it helps a boxer set up his offense. Most judges that I have spoken to do not give credit for defense alone. If a boxer has a good defense, it means that he is not being hit with punches. But let's remember the purpose of the sport: to land punches on your opponent.
If Boxer A throws 10 punches in a round, but lands none of them, and Boxer B lands zero and throws zero, you still have an even round with no punches landing. You don't want to create a disincentive for a boxer to land punches if he thinks he's going to be penalized for missing.

Originally posted by Young Bidness View PostNo its not, “Clean Effective Punches.” This is the pros. Larry Holmes didn’t just throw a beautiful jab, he also threw power punches and landed. Again, judges ain’t interested exclusively on the amateur point system for tag you’re it... they are interested in the EFFECTIVE punches that hurt the other. That’s why Trella and Byrd thought GGG’s go to jab only was gay.
I swear...the lengths you guys go through to try and really act like Canelo won those fights...just funny man
