    I don't think he was as dirty as Zivic and certainly didn't hold as much as Angott (who did?), but there are parallels with Carmen Basillo in terms of a style that wasn't aesthetically pleasing, but nevertheless was effective.

    I don't see particular similarities in their styles.

    Zivic has always reminded me of Hopkins, a polished, clever boxer w/ a sneaky right who can also mix it up inside.

    I think Angott's style is a bit akin to Fighting Harada, an unpredictable swarmer who ties up/smothers opponents inside.
