    Awesome, awesome footage right here.
    Walcott shows he can be effective against a tall heavyweight, and set up counters with slick movement and defensive techniques.
    Love this.

    Walcott matches up well against ANY style in history. Walcott was a special fighter. Very underrated. Walcott is amazing at slipping jabs from much taller fighters. His ridiculous footwork and slick upper body moves allow him to make the giants miss him. He would give Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko, Riddick Bowe all they could handle.

    Those are some pretty heavy punches, and look like are regular gloves, for it to be an "exhibition".

    It's the Hein Ten Hoff fight, just showing some different camera angles.

    Yeah it's the Hein Ten Hoff fight - it's only an exhibition in the sense that Walcott makes it look like exhibition stuff - here is the more regularly seen footage at the same fight - for the record Hein Ten Hoff was 6'6" and for this bout weighed 219 I think

    I've seen him listed at 6'3 and 6'5. He looked very tall so him being 6'5 could be right.

    Nice clip mate. Jersey Joe didnt like throwing his counter right did he?:D

    A lot of bad intentions there to be an exhibition
