I'm sure both held back. “I tried to let Higa fight with the distance where he felt comfortable, not just the distance I felt comfortable. And I wanted to experiment with different ways of fighting, so I can give credit to myself for doing that overall.”
You can see that they didn´t go all out as they pretty much took turns. But **** me! They did not really hold back when it came to punching. Absolutely ridiculous, in the best way possible.
Watched this the other day and it was an awesome exhibition and no, they didn’t hold back at all! You can really see though the difference in skill level between Inoue and Higa. Still an awesome match though!
I don´t think he was really holding back that much at all. Some were really vicious shots. But Inoue never got any momentum going. FFS, he kept just hammering Higa with that uppercut in a predictable and slow pace. If he had thrown two fast ones and a follow-up hook, Higa would still be counting birdies.
