    What were some times where a fighter lost to a fighter below his level because he was a bad stylistic match-up?

    I'm not too worried about who won but I think everyone agrees Castillo made it difficult because of his style. Figured it was worth posting.

    Ok. Yeah the first fight was tougher than the second, and oddly enough the cards were closer the second go round:conf

    Imam/Granados. Margarito/Martinez. Harris/Maussa.

    One fighter gets weaker as the fight wears on while the other becomes more and more confident. Unless you have incredible endurance, sometimes there is no stopping the other fighter from coming on.

    I never thought Tito could beat Winky so how does this fit the description?
