    For me, I really like Mark de Mori's commitment to body punching. He works the jab downstairs first, then up and constantly puts "money in the bank" before landing his power shots up stairs. Body punching is a lost art in the heavyweight division of late... Haye barely throws a body shot and neither do the Klits.

    Mundine & Greens commitment in securing the very best opponents so their fans haven't got to defend their opponent choice like katsidis and Darchinyans do have to .:lol:

    Did you see Kessler rediscover the body punching art this last weekend ? Brutal , Froch went back to McCracken complaining about them FFS when that happens you know just how effective they are . Montoya must have been made up .

    I like Daniel Geale's swarming style, when he uses all the body movement he is definately hard to tag while letting a bunch of punches go. Its definately something he has carried over from the amateurs and its awesome to watch.

    good call.. he reminds me of a young tyson at times. especially when he does that quick shuffle to the right and then fires in a left hook.
    He caught mundine with it a few times.

    Katsidis and his willingness too take on top competition.hes even called out Pac several times.though he may need plastic surgery and multiple blood transfusions if Pac accomodates his wish at least hes willing.gotta love that.

    LOL!

    Agree with SM on Kats, huge heart!

    Someone recently compared Kats to Gatti - in the heart stakes that's as flattering a comment as can be dished out to anybody.

    Great fan of bodypunching but di mori is a *****!I did hear that was a last min replacement ,all his opposition seems to be low calibre.

    Will Hadlow's and Kane MacKays never say die attitude. Both will fight anyone and their opponents HAVE to fight to beat them, they will never win world titles but they have my long-term respect and admiration
