Fighters who were succesful at ¨playing possum¨?

    I'm looking for examples of fights where one boxer tricked the other one into thinking his adversary was more hurt than it really was

    example, Boxer A rocks Boxer B with a straight right, boxer B looks pretty damn hurt so Boxer A moves in for the kill, then BAM! gets caught with a counter outta nowhere, because Boxer B was just exagerating the damage he took so he coul lay a trap for the opponent


    any examples?

    This, more boxers pretend they aren't as hurt as they were then play possum. I can think of many fights were a guy got a guy hurt, went in for the Finnish and got ko'd himself. But I don't think the hurt fighter was playing hurt. It's just when you open up to take a guy out you become vulnerable to counters.

    Both Benn and Eubank were good at that.
