    Because as soon as you come across a young, hungry and aggressive pressure fighter they will kick that **** in so muthafuking bad. See Broner-Maidana.

    Or when Mayweather Jr exposed Pacquiao, Marquez, Canelo etc.

    It depends on who uses that defense.

    Broner didn't do it well, but Jr is TBE for a reason

    You need to have very fast reflexes to duck out of the way of the overhand right when it comes.

    Otherwise it fails badly a la Broner- Maidana.

    Very hard to execute. Only the very best can....

    That was the answer you were looking for, right? :campeon:

    What if you aim punches at the shoulder instead? Would that discourage them after a few hits?

    Kudryashov does it and he's very good at it, I dare say better than May.

    In all seriousness though.. That stupidity cost him the fight... I heard Durodola didn't want the rematch when it was offered to him last year though. He reeled off two quick wins over journeymen recently, maybe we'll see it this year?

    Durdola v Wilder????

    Who you got?

    Can Wilder withstand the nonstop pressure of a 220lb machine gun long enough to land the money punch?????
