This. In the Smith Jr. he was standing straight up with his hand down and got caught flush with a right hand. In the second fight with Stevenson he took a left hand to the temple. He needs serious work on his defense and needs to remember keep his hands up.
not "very good" ? He's not remotely close to very good, he's not even good. he's a weak lhw, that should only be fighting very young fighters that are only gaining experience or fighters coming back from major surgery to make sure they're fit. how does getting iced by Smith result in a rematch with one of the title holders, not following chickenson logic
Fonfara has a glass brain. Dumb Pole blocking punches with his face. Did anything at all Smith JR or Stevenson II throw miss?
Lol Vergil Hunters Glass factory,Amir Khan at no 1,fonfara coming a close 2nd and SOB who claims he's only been down once may just pip em to the post soon
Yeah this is nothing new really. His chin is suspect, but he has good recovery and survival instincts... Also tough as nails.
That's going a bit far... Fonfara has the balls to step in with big punchers on a regular basis, and has survived against some of them. His chin definitely isn't the best, but it certainly isn't Khan -esque
Nah its not glass, he remained upright with Stevenson dropping left after left off his polish dome. His defense is shoddy though, you'd think a professional fighter would know to move to his left and away from the only punch that can hurt him from a southpaw (the left hook). He learned nothing from the first fight apparently.
Goose neck, chicken neck, whatever, if he did not have a glass jaw, Adonis Chickenson would not have fought him, Fonfara qualified for the Chickenson fight by getting knocked out by Smith! Actually, Fonfara has zero defense, but Virgin Hill made him a defensive master, yes, old Virgin, the best trainer in boxing...................
That was about the worst performance Fonfara could've put on... what was his team expecting? Stevenson told them what he was going to do... Especially with the height difference, I just don't understand how the Fonfara team couldn't diminish Stevenson's left hand bombs. Weak ass game plan, weak ass training. His chin will always be **** if he decides to not guard it at all.
