Is he going to fight Floyd with this jab? 13 cm reach andvantage for Floyd i think it will be masacre.
Terms like "technician" and "boxer" are always subject to interpretation. The TS would have been better served to leave them out of the thread title. Though I do agree that JMM's inability to be the aggressor cost him the fight last night.
You are not aware it will do more harm for his legacy, every boxing fan will remember him for this fight that he lost, its maybe not his fault but those scorecard were fixed Arum did his thing.
Its stupid to put it like that just so you can find a reason he lost, by that logic no defesive fighter ever would win fight because he wasnt aggressor, every fighter said pac lost even guys that train with him and are friends with him, his face after the last bell is total disappointment Roach was telling him that he is losing and he was just had Arum behind him.
thats the difference between jmm and pac, jmm always thinks he won even before the fight started, even when inside the ring he already thought he won, listen to nacho's "youre winning!" comment its JMMs biggest downfall, at the end he always loses
Your inferring an extreme without setting the stage of relevant context. In close tactical fights, YES, I think the aggressive fighter (usually the guy who's coming forward) deserves the to win on the cards, in most cases. It wasn't as if JMM's defensive performance consisted of him walking Pac into combinations all night without absorbing any of Pac's 'return fire.' Had that been the case last night or in any boxing match, I would favor the efforts of the defensive fighter on the cards. It was a very close fight that could either have been a draw or close win for either guy, but I happen to favor the guy who's pressing the action.
