atsch If you think that was effective "boxing" you need to find a new sport. He turned his back and RAN many times FFS.
Dirrell. I never got the chance to see the fight last night to compare, but in Dirrell's fight with Froch, Dirrell ran so much there was barely any punches exchanged in the fight due to so much running and from what I have read, it wasn't like that in Khan fight.
That old school DC style "Tub To Head" ass whopping made Khan put on his British track shoes. People say that this wasn't an ass whopping, but they are wrong. He avoided much of the ass whopping by running and when he couldn't run, fouling. Had the ref given him a DQ, I wouldn't have thought it unwarranted or harsh.
Running is still too strong of a word to me . Id say more like a extremely distressed Crab scramble( you know how crabs walk sideways..). The only bright spot for him is that after his panicked scramble he would plant his feet and throw. Unfortunately they were mostly flash without substance shots.
And that is the difference with Dirrell. He wouldn't even throw punches but foul asap as soon as he couldn't run any more. If people are talking about a whole new level of running, Dirrell's level is the top level. Can't get any higher than his when barely any punches were thrown in the fight. Thought I was watching athletics than a boxing match.
