A victory for the American style of Boxing?

I think you're basically on the money. Other things being close to equal, the more fluid, "multiple" style will carry the day. The problem, as you mentioned, with the heavyweights is that the Klitschkos are far and away better athletes than the other contenders and they have a mastery over their technique.

 

American style superior????
Most American fighters get their ass kicked at the amateurs.
Best boxing school on this planet are the Russian and Cuban ones.
If all the good Russian and Cuban amateur fighters were able to turn pro they would dominate most weight divisions.
Pah! Superior American style!!atsch

 

We saw the best Cuban the Cuban amatuer system had to offer. And that was Joel Casaymayor. And he was nowhere near Mayweathers level.

Now who are these russian amatuers you are referring to?

Amatuer boxing means nothing anymore.

 

Maybe he's referring to Kirilenko, who got splattered by Vic?

I think this thread jumps to conclusions a little. Last night was a victory for dynamic boxing and inside fighting over a very stiff, orthodox style, but it was primarily a victory for Ward over Kessler. His physical superiority was probably more important than his stylistic superiority. On any given night, with different fighters, one style can still beat the other.

 

I have!

The judges also all have to simultaneously whack a gopher when a punch lands for it to count.

 

:rofl

 

Oh damn, you were serious?

Hey, I'm all for something that makes the ams relevant again.

 

Cool, I'll read up on it. :thumbsup

 

The American style(s) simply require a talented individual with the determination to pull it off. It requires alot of movement, alot of hand speed and foot speed.

That's why the sloths prefer the standard 1-2 amateur style. That means they can eat whatever they want in training camp, show up when they want to and still fight the fight. The sad thing is they still win most of them.

What they need to do is go back to the winner taking the lions share of the purse. Put the 'prize' back in prizefighter.

 

Casamayor the best amateur Cuba had to offer,eh!
Obviously,you have no clue what you are talking aboutatsch
Waste of time to discuss boxing with you,mate

 

Name the best Cuban amatuer then. Please do. Its going to be hilarious your reasons that one of them was as good as Mayweather or Shane Mosley because they could win a bunch of fights with head gear on. Please, im begging you. I really wanna see how stupid you are.
