    The Americans must be bad learners..
    They got a school lesson on his "mysterious" right less than a year earlier when it landed on Machen, still they wrote it didnt exist.

    Sung-Kil Moon
    Ricky Hatton
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Vitali Klitschko

    I respect all the aforementioned fighters, but I don't find their styles to be aesthetically pleasing.

    Moon's a tank, how can't you like him?

    Hey Greg. Thanks for that favor.

    He makes for exciting fights, but he is flailing with punches most of the time whereas I'm partial to measured combination's myself. I will say though, his power was something to behold and he was deceivingly accurate. Konadu did well to last as long as he did in the first encounter, he was getting bullied around like a school girl.

    Though I'm no student of him, I was never a massive fan of Morales' herky-jerky approach, although admittedly it did have its benefits in terms of feinting, angles, surprise factor etc. Barrera for me was the pick of the two, especially in aesthetic terms.

    I thought Konadu should have got the decision first time around.

    Moon is one of the strongest and most powerful Bantamweights ever.

    Sometimes he showed some really nice technique and beautiful combination's. I liked his performance against Ayala, and I tend to think he was actually a better fighter the time he moved up to Super Featherweight than he had been previously. That's controversial considering he's made out to be infallible at 122lbs, but I prefer his more measured approach. Stuff he did in the Chavez, Hernandez, and Ayala fights was sublime.

    Just rewatched it.

    I thought Konadu landed some lovely combo's but as you guys say generally he was out-muscled and bullied.

    Thought it should been a TKO win for Konadu as I seen no head clashes.

    Your boy got disqualified from an Olympic final and stripped of his silver medal for being inactive and only running away (for cowardice, to put it bluntly). How is that for being boring, you'd say?

    No different than ALI.He pretty much did the same...run and jab.
    By the way he got the silver medal back,it was a bad decision to dq him in the first place.
