    Every now and then there would be fights where one fighter is constantly moving or disengaging while the other fighter is unable to catch up or make any significant offense, resulting in a really dull fight as shown in the Teo vs Ortiz fight.

    What are some examples of a fighter performing really well against an opponent that is constantly moving, fighting negative, unwilling to engage, and spoiling a fight? Basically a fighter that is able to take the initiative, being the effective aggressor, able to cut the ring off, not showing signs of frustration, sticking to the game plan, and methodically slowing down the opponent. There's been plenty over the years but let's see some of examples.

    Hank Lundy vs. Richar Abril, too. Don't believe anyone that says Abril got robbed (feeding into this hard-luck sob-story bs narrative just because he did in fact later get robbed vs. Ríos), as 99% of boxing forum posters weren't physically there on the night. I was. Lundy won close but clear.

    Golovkin / Garder, which I just rewatched the other day, is a perfect showcase of GGG's "amateur style". A lot of defensive movement but he keeps moving forward against an opponent that is trying to move away when he has the space and clinch when he doesn't. Despite Gardner potshotting and spoiling, Golovkin consistently makes him miss while landing his own punches.

    Marquez vs Gainer. JMM was natural counter puncher but against Gainer he had to fight like an aggressor because Gainer was moving/running like crazy. And Marquez totally dominated him.

    Another example is Hatton vs Mallignaggi
