    Haye also employed the "suck his dick through his shorts" defense quite a bit.

    hands up, side to side headmovement , slipping, bobing and weaving making opponent miss while closing distance and using angles to work your way inside. If that's not peek-a-boo care to explain what is.

    Man how great would it be if Seth Mitchell was brought up using the peek-a-boo style? I like the guy as a prospect but for his body type and natural ability this is the style he should utilize.

    Hands up to nose-eye area, side to side bobbing and weaving, slipping punches, footwork and angles to get inside....That's the peek-a-boo brutha.


    ****EDIT**** Sorry, obviously late on this.

    the peekaboo style ain't that good, it's easy prey for counter punchers

    It's a very common style in the amateurs these days, but of course everyone here thinks the amateurs are just like fencing....

    Not all counter punchers fight off the back foot. Lomachenko, JMM, Pirog are examples of guys who can counter while moving forward and pressuring you, my favourite kind of fighter. Toney, Tszyu, Duran, Golovkin some others.
