    Then choose not to read because you aren't reading, you are inferring your existing beliefs on a Rorschach Test. It's embarrassing.

    I was asked to decipher a short boxing clip, and I gave my interpretation.

    I don't think that tit was overwhelmingly favorable to either fighter.

    I just said what happened!

    I'm only saying what the press and his manager said at the time, which you know to be true as you have Pollacks bio of Jeffries.
    When Frazier gets up and turns his back I think he was totally disorientated and only semi-conscious from the effects of the shots from an absolute monster of a puncher.
    Similar to Patterson getting up from Ingo's punches and, not knowing he had even been down and groggy' turning away from the Swede.

    You are the only person I've ever read who labelled his actions "running away".

    Ruhlin on the other hand is fully conscious ,and actively turning his back illegally, in an attempt to avoid being hit.

    Burns was such a crafty fighter. I like his footwork, even though it's unorthodox.

    He's fighting an absolute sh*te opponent. Take it with a grain of salt.

    He didn't look too modern fighting Jack Johnson.

    Put them in 2020 in tracksuit pants and you have what a brawl looks like in my neighbourhood between two crack addicts, just with no context this is absolutely horrid though those who have seen him in person fight have said he would beat the likes of Dempsey so with no other footage who am I to disagree.

    I’ll something about that clip, although it only a few seconds, Jeffries looks pretty light on his feet.

    The crucial difference being Frazier was dazed and disorientated getting up and trying to continue just on fighting instinct.Ruhlin was frightened and actively looking to avoid combat by turning away from his opponent.
    The first is understandable and praise worthy.The latter is neither.

    It does take place a bit after a knock down, when Jeffroes was really tightning the screw

    Yeah it’s pretty much identical to Frazier’s run along the ropes towards camera before getting clubbed.

    Actually, after now watching the extended highlights I take that back!
