    Adjustments,,,,,,,,,,,not really.

    He fought the same way in both Vito Antuofermo bouts.

    He fought the same way in the first 'two' Sugar Ray Seales bouts.

    He fought the same way in the first 'two' Willie Monroe bouts.

    The results were different, but Marvin didn't make any major changes in his style.

    The second Bobby 'Boogaloo' Watts bout in 1980 , was a result of a 31 year-old 'Boogaloo' losing his ability to
    take a punch. He was on the downside slope of his career. He was not the same fighter as he was in
    1976 at 27 years of age.
     
  3. I wouldn't say Lewis was, personally.

    McCall bottled it in the rematch, Holyfield arguably beat him and he only did to Rahman what he ought to have done first time.
