    I'm trying to find fights in the vein of Jose Luis Castillo vs Stevie Johnston essentially, where more talented or skilled boxers are beaten or worn down by pressure fighters. Brownie points if the technician/mover is a southpaw and the pressure fighter is orthodox, and even more brownie points if there exchanges in the pocket.

    Nick Ball vs Raymond Ford is another good example of this genre of fight. Miguel Cotto vs Sergio Martinez fits the bill too, I think, but I'm trying to find more matches like this.

    Another example would be Jeff Fenech against Greg Richardson and Victor Callejas.

    Israel Vazquez also overcoming the superior technicians Jhonny Gonzalez and Rafael Marquez.

    And just recently Subriel Matias beating Alberto Puello.
