    Ike Ibeabuchi vs David Tua - One of the most entertaining fights in the history of the heavyweight division. Study properly how both of those elite HWs were able to pick their shots carefully by constantly taking, slipping and throwing punches in close proximity while maintaining a good pace and steady workrate.

    Aaron Davis vs Simon Brown - Focus on how intelligently both fighters used hooks and how they defend against it.

    Merqui Sosa vs Prince Charles Williams 1 - Look closely on how they infight, constantly mauling, place their heads, control their opponents arms, made great use and land murderous uppercuts.

    Andrew Golota vs Orlin Norris - Combinations and punch selections. Observe how they threw shots on the lower of the body to target the head and watch how they threw shots to the side of the body to open up the middle part of it while staying close against each other and showed some terrific defense defending against it.

    Unless it's the Gomez fight, in which case it's more a case of studying how to take a beating. Unless of course you're studying Gomez giving one.
