So it’s funny that people always think of the boxer as the one that’s slightly less iffrnseive but don’t give any props to the boxer puncher.

what prompted this?
Thinking of the way people describe Leonard vs Hagler or Spence vs Crawford or GGG vs Canelo. It was a random ass thought but in like Hagler, Spence and GGG are great boxers in their own right. There not these brawlers that fight without immense skill but the way people describe these matchups it’s like they going to come in head down and just punch. They all have great jabs, Spence and Hagler had (incredible stamina body punch), they all throw combinations and use slight head movement in order to not get hit with crazy big punches. Boxing needs to be redefined to not just included the defense of fighters but the offensive guys as well.

Coming off shoulder surgery I wasn't expecting a lot, but I was at least expecting a veteran body we've heard of. This card is gonna end up looking like the Canelo GGG undercard with a bunch of quick mismatches
iirc it was just some minor injury and he fought in March
they really could have put him in with Castano, Soro or at least with someone with a pulse
