    I was just re-watching the Agbeko-Darchinyan fight and what stood out was that Agbeko fought in a style that was far more awkward than his usual style.

    Has anybody seen other fights where a boxer switches away from his usual style to a really awkward style for a single fight? If so, which ones?

    Not to call it akward but apparently Barrera became a much more accurate boxer nearly over night for the Hamed fight.

    Winky Wright opened up a ton more in the Jermain Taylor fight than what he did ever before. Honestly I wasn't expecting him to trade but he did.

    Not awkward but good call nonetheless! Obviously, there was of course Ali's rope-a-dope against Foreman, anyone else have input?

    Imagine that! A fight where Vic's opponent's style is more awkward than his! :lol:
