    This is choice coming from you, given that you completely failed to answer my initial question:

    "From what specific aspects of the Lewis/Mavrovic bout are you drawing this conclusion?"


    The conclusion of yours in this case being that:

    Against Mavrovic, Lewis exhibited a "very sloppy performance that Fury can exploit to greater effect."


    You removed my question from your reply. Instead, you use one of Lewis' easiest outings (Tua) as 'the standard' to support the idea that anything more complicated (in this case Lewis/Mavrovic) showed Lewis to be very sloppy and imagine yourself to have provided technical details of the ring performance itself? :lol:


    I neither saw a sloppy nor a ragged performance from Lewis against Mavrovic. That much must have been made clear to you, if not from the outset, then by now, surely? So, what purpose did you intend your loaded question to serve?


    You really are a card.


    But you are not talking about anything specific - you are just generalizing.

    What is this effect of tempo?
    How did it manifest in the Mavrovic bout?
    What does being less comfortable actually mean in real terms?
    How are you observing and quantifying this discomfort?
    Is pace/tempo the only factor in determining this measure of discomfort?

    And, I'll repeat: From what specific aspects of the Lewis/Mavrovic bout are you drawing the conclusion that Lewis put on a "very sloppy performance"?


    Answer the initial question.


    ^^Poetic ignorance - a specialism of yours.

    It’s self evident watching the fight that Lewis was made to breathe hard as a result from the pace/tempo being higher than he liked. The result of which, to stay ahead, and he was ahead throughout, the hurried work was less effective. Slopping looking. Having less time to set himself It effected his composure. Whist winning, he was hit with daft blows,,He was hanging on gasping for air too.

    perhaps you interpreted this another way?

    in relation to how Lewis conducted himself when he was controlling the tempo? It is my opinion that Lennox was excellent at dictating the pace. On occasion an opponent could hurry him up and he was less composed in responding in a forced manner.

    Again. you are asking for what I have already answered. How did it manifest? You have to be pulling my chain by now.

    This is a tactic of yours to continue to question the already answered question. I don’t know what there is that you suppose to achieve here. I’ve answered this quite satisfactorily and descriptively enough …and in layman’s terms to help you. If you somehow misunderstood and have any more difficulty I remain happy to help though.

    Any version of Lewis destroys Fury. The young, offensively-minded version, KO's Fury in 4. The older, more patient Lewis, KO's Fury sometime after 4.

    If Lewis landed the right that KO'd Rahman on TF, the gypsy king sleeps.

    That shot was about twice as hard as the one Wilder almost killed TF with.

    The only difficulty I had, was whether to score the fight 117-111 or 116-112.
