    I have. I think you're on the money here and read things pretty well tbh. I see where you're coming from and definitely agree - I had the same problem with a great poster a few years ago who used to micro-analyse to a very strong degree. By taking a solely scientific perspective to boxing, it does forgo the 'intuitive' and more 'fluid' aspects of combat sport as you stated. People argue over who is better prime, Mayweather or Whitaker - Whitaker for me because of what you mentioned and it's evident in his game. On a deeper level, I do this in the outside world on a daily basis, I'm a student Dentist who likes this type of analysis so much I'm thinking of converting to Law.
    The problem is when discussing on a forum, I feel there's little scope for me to explain things from a more holistic perspective (I can only try to explain myself better in this regard), which is why I personally do more scientific-esque analysis on boxing because it has its merits at the end of the day and there's some good things to learn. Personally I train in BJJ and only casually train in boxing.
    I think the reason why Usyk, Lomachenko and Gvozdyk have made fights more competitive than they needed to is precisely because of their 'gameplan/strategy' is fundamentally rooted in something more scientific - I think they're trying to find their feet in the way of understanding things as you stated.

    Its not a big deal to be part of management. I could do better. I probably will.

    You're jealousy and disbelief a man could hold such a average position says a lot about the sorry sate your life turned out to be:risas3::meparto:

    I can't believe Hopkins vs Joe Smith is an HBO headliner. Would've been acceptable as the co-feature to Salido-Miura, but the senior's tour doesn't merit the main event on its own.

    There are exceptions to every rule. This is Hopkins an ATG of the sports swansong, I don't think most will have an issue with it being a main event.

    I don't have a problem with BHOP headlining an HBO card. He's almost 52 and Joe Smith Jr presents a fascinating challenge with his youth, strength and punching power. Smith could be a major spoiler here.

    The only thing you manage successfully is your autism and suicidal thoughts.

    Understood: Apparently I was mistaken, I am glad you took the time to clarify your position. I am so used to arguing with poster's who hate these fighters and micro manage them only being critical to scratch some intrinsic itch that commands them to hate. Glad to see you actually like/appreciate fighters like Loma, Usyk and Gvodzyk.

    Keep up with training BJJ, it is a blast....Human chess! I got a brown belt from Paragon BJJ/kickboxing in Santa Barbara, Ca.

    You claimed to OWN several nightclubs but were proven to be a liar and you also have a track record of not honoring ban bets. You cannot even manage a tooth brush across what's left of your putrid teeth and gums never mind manage a nightclub. Which at the risk of repeating myself you claimed to OWN along with others.

    Its an ok fight but there are a lot of better options out there for Usyk.

    Nice to see him come here to the U.S. and possibly on HBO and good to see him fighting just 3 months after winning the title which is a fairly quick turnaround.

    Why are you liking his posts ? Where's my amazon voucher ?
    You bet me an amazon voucher on the Fury fight. I still have the private messages. When Fury won you refused to pay up.
    Give me my amazon voucher.
    I let it go because i didn't want nothing off you and hoped it would make you a better person. But you just became more and more despicable as the months rolled on. Give me my voucher or continue stalking me. Which is it?
