Examples of swarmers beating techinically gifted punchers?

Indeed...and any excuse to watch that fight again is a good one.

 

I feel like David Moyes.

 

Benn-McClellan

Honeyghan-Curry

Margarito-Cotto - although Cotto isn't a massive puncher he's very technical (Marg may or may not have had assistant but he pressured him silly)

 

LaMotta Robinson?

 

Fighting Harada-Eder Jofre

 

Great choice.

 

Does Pedro Flores beating Yoko Gushiken count?

 

Thanks Teeto...it's always the first example of the thread's subject that comes to mind for me.

 

Cory Spinks vs Zab Judah

 

Which ones the swarmer

 

:rofl:rofl just kidding there

 

While this is a good example, Jofre was past his best, and had some trouble making weight.

For the Swarmer to beat the technically gifted puncher, I think he needs to be more stamina, better durability, equal to or greater heart, and enough power to hurt the technical puncher.

 

How about Holyfield-Tyson

 

He said no class gap.

 

I don't see how Holyfield fought anything like a swarmer in that fight...does countering loaded-up, singular, right-handed power punches and constantly grappling constitute swarming?? Also does that Tyson really qualify as a technically gifted puncher...he looked like a crude "one-big-punch" fool, trying to stop a guy with a titanium chin. Also I agree with itrymariti, except I say the class gap wasn't always there, but he would say it was and that Tyson "barely changed".
