I was watching this vid showing Pedroza defensive skill and it shows some of the best head movement I`ve ever seen! To me this is how Hamed was trying to fight but didn`t have Pedroza`s balance, I feel Hamed was overrated so I asked this question in the British boxing forum, because is held in higher regard among some Brit fans compared to American fight fans, so what do you guys think?
Yes, it`s on a boxing24 thread. https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/eusebio-pedroza-amazing-reflexes.609325post-19248275/#
I don't know much about Pedroza but from what I'm told, McGuigan got him at the right time. Similar to Hatton with Tsyzu.
Tbh I'm not a massive fan of the over exaggerated head movement style. I much prefer a subtle slip and counter
Don't get me wrong pedroza was a tough awkward fighter who in is prime was very good but just not my bag
Not exactly the same, no. Tsyzu was far more shot than pedroza...and mcGuigan considerably better than Hatton.
