    is it harsh to say Rogers was suicidal by having such a casual guard against an animal like fedor?

    Sometimes it does appear that Fedor "wings" his punches a bit too much but that punch was perfect. He does have unbelievable power and accuracy so who am I to judge. :yep

    :good Not at all! A tight guard against any opponent must be essential! I like Rogers and he's gonna get better but a casual guard against a guy like Fedor is foolhardy in the extreme!

    I think either of the Klitschkos would be happy to fight Valuev! Great right-hand by Fedor!!

    I can't see the GIF in OP's post but...

    this is not a technically sound punch.

    1. he is standing upright, and dropped down, telegraphing the punch.
    2. he dropped his left during the punch
    3. he had a draw-back before the punch (possibly to avoid the counter)

    And the guy didn't use any head movement, actually moved into the punch.

    Was it a strong punch? hell yes it was. He did well by launching off his rear leg. But it was not a very technical punch, and I don't think the same kind of technique would get you very far against someone who actually had some evasive/counter boxing skills.

    what does that mean? well however you take it. It could mean a punch doesn't have to be very technical to get a KO. Or it could be picked apart by a skilled boxer.

    But he sure cleaned his clock lol
