Kostya Tszyu vs Floyd Mayweather jr!!!!!!

This is a 5 min HL

Look at how much Roger is using his forearm and elbow, grabbing Kostya behind the head, holding and ducking below waist level

Using his forearm and elbow and stiff-arming to hold his head in place or blind him to set up the cheap shot right hands which immediately follow it

This is deemed masterful defence and the height of slickness by many across the pond and fans of this style of boxing. I don't consider it such I consider it very dirty, unmanly and cowardly. True slickness and defensive greatness is being able to hit and not get hit via the application of pure legal and honourable skills and if you really are that good and that skilled you don't have to resort to such measures. It's not the occasional thing it's part of that style. A huge part. Case in point: It's a 5 min HL for goodness sake

Winning and outboxing your opponent without having to do so is obviously far more difficult and impressive and worthy of respect

The only reason he was able to last the distance is because of that spoiling and holding and cracking and trying to crack Kostya with even more cheap shots all night

It's not the odd infraction it's a huge part of the style and game plan

 

Yes, Kostya didn't just have devastating power and laser precision he had fast hands too
