    Simply put, there's a small handful of defensive fighters in the game. And it's a shame. The sport is becoming more and more watered down with low skilled fighters for the sake of entertainment.

    Troubling state of affairs we have on our hands

    Even the "Top Quality" fighters are extremely defensively deficient.

    I fear for the future of the sport. This will inevitably drive away the purists of the sport. We want to see Defense.

    There are still a few Rigondeaux, Lomachenko, Ward and Lara.
