    This was something Louis did in other fights too.
    He looks much less hesitant fighting SHWs on the inside than most other fighters. I think a lot of it is mental.
    His mentality was that he was always just as tough as the other guy. I can see how a deep belief like that could help you lessen the fear of standing across a much bigger fighter.

    There was nothing wrong with Simon's power or finishing ability.
