    For example, Wlad vs Povetkin, Willie Pastrano vs Harold Johnson.
    What are some of your picks?

    How would Pastrano-Johnson qualify as "anti boxing" though? That fight was 1 of the best technical battles ever IMO.

    A lot of people, especially casuals, don't like technical boxing. They consider it boring.

    It was all 1 punch hold, 2 punch hold from Pastrano, Harold Johnson was the one initiating the clean action and Pastrano didn’t let it by holding and making it ugly, Pastrano was initiating the holding and not allowing clean exchanges.

    I’m not knocking Pastrano, fighters are gonna do what they can get away with in a fight with fine margins.

    I liked Hearns vs Hill, Johnson vs Charles, Spinks vs Holmes, Spinks vs Qawi, there are plenty of technical fights I liked, I don’t mind a low volume, technical fight when it’s punch for punch with limited holding.
