    Maidana's balance before garcia made my eyes bleed. What a mess!!!

    Garcia made a WONDERFUL job with maidana. He really impressed me. GREAT job, really great. I know he's praised for that, but not enough imho.

    Tyson in his prime had very good balance. Going forward, his head movement and combination punching were superb because of his balance. His ability to keep his speed and power during long combinations was largely down to his balance and he done it as good as anyone who has ever fought.

    McClellan balance was crazy, when he put Benn down, it was an all assault when Benn got up, but he was taking some little steps backwards to put himself in position to punish him.

    It wasn't just speed. Taylor's reach, boxing skill and workload gave good old Bhop fits. Taylor was a phenomenal boxer, his only problem was his underwhelming punching power and willingness to slug it out with harder hitters.
