    I always enjoyed the spectacle of seeing one strike the other with enough regularity to win the fight.

    A trick Fritzie Zivic taught 20 year old Ray robinson in 1941, how to hurt a man
    while Robby was covering his chin in close..Zivic kept banging robinson's elbows
    andRay's own hand kept banging on his own jaw...I saw Fritzie Zivic at MSG, and
    he was a mean and tricky fighter ,who knew all the ropes...

    yeah funny... but all the fighters trained at the same gym and robinson learned tricks from guys like kid nolfolk and others was he was a kid as an amatuer, i thought this may have been in the same context, i was wondering if zivic showed him this while they were training one time at the gym or was something ray picked up while they were fighting.

    Two bouts jump to mind as classic examples of brilliant tactics, f:

    (1) Gene Fullmer, a cave man street fighter, float around the ring behind a piston jab to stop Carmine Basilio twice.

    (2) Humberto Gonzalez, a plodding fireplug slugger, who'd been KO'd by Michael Carabajal, came back 'n did Willie Pep on Carbajal's ass. AMAZING! like watching a rhino toe dance.
