Is Mikey one of the greatest at blocking punches?

What, like with his face? No that's Joe Grimm.

 

Mikey's defense is severely underrated.

 

Lol that avatar has me laughing every time even though I find it deeply offensive.not sure why but it's worse than looking at Ovids lol.

 

Could it be because it's a picture of Oscar De La Hoya in fishnets with his legs spread wide open?

 

Coming up it's what I used to say impressed me most about him. Just his fundamentals, although he uses the basic by the book boxibg styles it's at a ridiculous level. Yes, his ability to parry/block is a level abovemost, but spence's offense was also fairly basic, lacking feints.

 

Lol yes that's it,staring me in the face all along.funny thing,only yesterday I thought you'd lost your mind and was replying to yourself lol,took me a few minutes to realise it was you and Ovid.

 

Really??? Man you come straight out of a comic book. Comical

 

Yes, like a punch bag.

 

It’s a lot easier to block punches when you are hardly throwing any punches yourself and not taking any chances. It’s a good strategy for going the distance but not for winning the fight. Mikey clearly didn’t really mind losing this one...he just wanted to cash out and avoid losing to someone in his own weight class (Loma).
