Why didnt you show the concussive headbutt that preceded that. And incase you didnt know Shane went the full 12. He was hurt again in the 10th badly i think and fought that entire fight with concussion. That chin is solid granite. You cant chin check my boy. He'll get right back up.
KT was an underrated trainer. I would wager that he was fitter than almost any fighter he ever faced. The night against Philips he was below his best. Take nothing from Philips but if prime KT came in that night it would have been a UD or late KO for KT.
There is just far to many times he faded to suggest he just had off nights in those fights. Urkal, Hatton, Lopez, Phillips..to a degree Tackie and though I didnt really see it, from what he said in an interview he apparantly was very tired at points in the Rueles fight. His training habits are stuff of legend..I agree from what Ive read and heard from people who have trained with him he is just a freak..so focused and such a hard worker....but sometimes stamina just comes natural to some fighters. I also wonder how many training techniques Kostya kept from his amateur days...because maybe they werent suited for the longer distance..And maybe many things he done still conditioned him to the 4 round distance because thats is what he was comfortable with.
Many people are very biased when it comes to judging Tszyu. Every little flaw or supposed flaw is exaggerated and magnified. The truth is that many great boxers have these flaws and blips in their careers but they are conveniently overlooked but when someone mentions Tszyu they are repeated ad nauseam.
Headbutt? More like a straight right. At the end of the 2 round he was doing his version of the chicken dance and barely got up by using the ropes, then he started walking to the wrong corner and the ref had to guide him to his corner. Mosley didn't know where he was dude and he was very lucky to make it out of the round. For solid granite check out some Hagler fights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzzYlMfkbJ4
