    Problem is you can’t win ‘hands down’ with Julian — you’re bound to lose if you don’t keep them up.

    Dropping your hands or exposing your chin vs. Jackson is like taking a cigarette break while you’re defusing a 100-ton gasoline bomb.

    I think he was getting carried away starting to force the action and going for the ko.
    He backed Jackson into the corner basically with his chin in the air.
    It was an extraordinary punch because Jackson was standing upright, I don’t know where he got his leverage from it seemed to come from over the top of his shoulder.

    Yer absolute corker of a punch tho.
    That's the thing with Jacko, it's like George Foreman, shots that didn't look all that but had tremendous power.
