John David Jackson vs Jorge Castro. Castro had been outclassed and beaten to a bloody pulp, the ref steps in…and Castro pulls the punch out of...
Maybe a controversial opinion, but I’ve never really bought into the idea of boxers having objective attributes like chins, power etc.like you see...
Pretty much agree with the posts so far, which all make sense and are well thought out. It’s such a pleasure to read after having seen threads on...
