We often see....especially when you get to high / elite level........come forward aggressive fighters being tagged as one dimensional and defensive low output counter punchers as boxing masters and have ring generalship. I love all styles of boxing....without the various styles it would be boring....but i do hate the snobbery that comes from some fans towards the aggressive come forward fighters....because without these types of fighters there would be no sport of boxing.....there would be no counter punchers However....i have wondered before what would happen if these fighters dramatically adjusted their styles against ultra defensive 'slicksters' And....wait for it..... literally landed no punches.....BUT didnt get hit either ?? Ok it wouldnt happen ? But say it did ? If a typically aggressive come forward fighter....didnt plough forward....his defensive opponent didnt expect this....a few times a round the aggressive fighter feints ...his opponent backs up...then he stops and resets....and backs off himself everytime when the opponent comes forward No punches landed over 12 rounds Is it a draw...or does the usually aggressive fighter get the edge for ring generalship because he didnt allow his opponent to fight his type of fight ?
Double disqualification and suspension, purses withheld and fines. The ref gets fired for letting it go on so long.
http://www.angelfire.com/la3/gulfcoastboxing/828coushatta.html Welsh, LA heavyweight Clifton Rubin (8-2) entered the ring to the yells and screams of his big following, but left to the sounds of heavy boos. Rubin faced Wade “Rock” Lewis (12-11) in what was supposed to be a battle of knockout artist, (Lewis has 11 and Rubin 8) turned out to be a bore. Rubin came out as the aggressor, but that quickly changed when he felt Lewis’s power. Lewis landed a straight right hand that nearly put Rubin down in round 1. In round 2 Lewis felt Rubin’s power, and elected to back off of his powerful assault. Towards the middle of round 2, both fighters elected to “feel each other out.’ In round 3 it was more of the same “feeling out” process. Both fighters were told to fight, at the end of the round referee Russell Naquin warned both corners that they needed to fight or risk being disqualified. In round 4, it was more dancing, and 2:17 into the round referee Russell Naquin stopped and bout and called it a double disqualification. The Louisiana boxing commission stated that both fighters will receive losses on their records. *** Alan Minter and Jan Magdziarz were both disqualified in their third fight for inactivity and the ref walked out in disgust. Charley Burley and Holman Williams were double disqualified for inactivity in their sixth fight 5/14/43.
