    Effective but I just can't respect that style of fighting

    I didn’t watch the first fight.

    I don’t think cat will go far in America, his style is poor. He won’t hang with Haney etc. you’re deluded if you think that. They won’t even bother bringing themselves to that level unless Hes mandatory

    I agree with someone like Haney stylistically it’s a terrible match up for him. Cat is a counter puncher. It’s like Marquez losing and struggling to boxers, level wise they’re not that far off.

    Bruh lol I’m not saying he’s on Marquez’s level. I’m just saying styles make fights. Cat does well against dudes who come to him and don’t have the greatest head movement. Why you being a jerk?

    Vintage Serge!

    As it happens, something rather analogous to that happened to me years ago. Needless to say, I was never able to overcome that initial disadvantage. :teeth:

    Like I said, it's effective but I just can't stand spoilers. I hate that style with a vengeance

    That Brian Norman Jr. fellow looked really good when he let his hands go against Santillan the other day but there was so much spoiling in between him doing so. Like literally punch, lean in and grab, hold on, ref breaks the up, reset, punch, lean in and grab a hold, don't let go, ref breaks them up, reset etc. Then he would mount a really good sustained attack. I just can't stand watching that style :lol:

    :lol: Sorry to hear that.

    It's true though. Fighting without honour or manliness is just not right

    Cat has the worst style in all boxing along with Okolie. ****ing jab jab jab jab jab jab, oh look there is 20 seconds left in the round. Lets see if my left hand works, aimlessly throws it and the crowd loses their mind.

    Judge 1 ‘yes’
    Judge 2 ‘yes’
    Judge 3 ‘yes’

    I hope someone bums his pet

    I did.

    I rallied a bit mid scrap, but I could never get over the proverbial hump.

    :lol: Yes

    Okolie is terrible to watch and a very dishonourable fighter. Take away his holding, his huge size advantage, giraffe neck arms, and awkwardness and he's useless

    I think big fights should be fought on neutral territory anyways. The scores were too wide.
