Is it just styles? Sandor is a tricky slick boxer while Teo and Mikey are at their best when they are counterpunching. They're not the best at cutting the ring off and taking 2 to land 1. It's still surprising to me though that a guy Rollie absolutely destroyed, beat a guy that schooled Mikey and Teo.
One of those weird styles thing that happens throughout history. One prime example is Mayorga against Forrest. Look who Forrest beat and then gets destroyed by a chain smoking rough around the edges Machismo like Ricardo. Lol
As with the domestic scene over here, the Euro circuit is much tougher than the US one and Euro and British fighters are often damaged goods long before the they break onto the world scene just from the brutal wars and doghouse rules sparring sessions against fellow Euros/Brits. Yigit is one such example. Whereas, Martin was able to preserve himself a lot better because he's a slickster and one who graduated from the Spanish school of slickness which is far superior to the US one which we all saw with our own eyes when he trounced Mikey and Teofimo in their backyards.
They're both southpaws. Sandor's natural range controlling advantage was nullified, and Yigit has an insane workrate. Yet it was still a nip and tuck dogfight, with Sandor giving as good as he got, and arguably won by a round in my opinion. But.... it was in Sweden, so do the math. This content is protected
