    Baker's technique has improved since the fights with Despaigne and E-Rod. He's not winning these rounds, but he's keeping his shape against a guy with a significant edge in hand and foot speed.

    That said, he might have to think about throwing caution to the wind at some point, 'cause he ain't beating the Nail by boxing.

    Edit: Meant Savigne, not Depaigne.

    The biggest difference between Gvozdyk and Usyk imo is the chin though. I'm not completely convinced by the nail's chin, while Usyk seems to have a very good chin. I think this is why he's fighting cautious.

    The nail is winning the boxing match, but he's not committing to anything big. He's landing with consistency, but taking it easy.

    Baker is not good. His defense is to turn into a heavy bag.

    What I'm seeing, his nickname should be The Post-It Note instead of Nail, the way he is playing the boxing equivalent of touch football in there.

    Who are you? :risas3: You sound like another butthurt shut-in member that holds grudges and can't stop thinking about me after an argument or run-in we might have had.

    Not likely. Mayweather prefers $10 strippers.

    Atlas referring to The Nail as a babysitter on national television everyone. I don't think I've ever heard Jim Lamply, Joe Rogan or even Mike Goldberg make such cringeworthy anecdotes.
