    It's hard to tell, but training himself, and the way he is selecting his shots. Also something I had never thought about in regards to training.

    If a boxer past his mid 30's doesn't truly know what he needs to do in the ring, what he is capable of, and what to train for in an upcoming match. Then what has this boxer learnt throughout their career?

    When you become a veteran at your craft, you think up of ways to best utilize what you are capable of, and look for ways to gain every conceivable advantage.

    Although he still had his wife and the other person yelling go to the body, I think he is onto something. He is at a stage where he can mostly train himself, but still needs an outside perspective during matches for advice. I still can't pick even after this rant LOL.

    Nonito went through a stretch where all he did was rely on his power to end fights. He would literally trip over himself throwing haymakers. Against bigger opponents, that hurt him.

    Since his loss to Frampton, he's been much more patient, selective with his shots, brimming with confidence, and like I said, he's just a tick slower and is just as durable as before (being the biggest guy at 118).

    This is an evil calculating version of Donaire for anyone to fight.

    Donaire was a great boxer earlier in his career great counter puncher he could do it all but for whatever reason he started to fall in love with his power and regressed as a complete boxer. He seemed to have gone back to his roots and it has paid off nicely.

    No, he's just back at his old weightckass. He was unbeaten there besides the monster

    It's remarkable how well preserved he is for his age. Same goes for Rigo whose speed and reflexes are still really sharp and impressive
