    GR: I tried to do my job. You don't look for the knockout. The knockout has to come to you. If it is there, then you take it.

    your thoughts on this school of thought?:think:huh

    A lot of fighters have this mentality.

    If you go looking for a knockout you leave yourself more open and you expend much more energy then boxing conservatively.

    Very smart, his power had Donaire shook, his face looked like that while he was protecting himself imagine if he wasn't he would have been knocked out by Rigo.

    Ha in a way I agree I would have loved to see that killer instinct especially since he had to know a robbery was an option, a brutal KO would have stopped all the he's not exciting bull**** to.

    What the hell are you talking about?

    The 12th round was the only round Rigondeaux took more than two steps forward...

    As for the original post, that is the philosophy almost all fighters share nowadays.
