pristine? lol he is a chronic woman abuser

Was I talking about his personal life or do you have a habit of making assumptions everywhere you go on the site?

I’m talking in a purely professional sense as in his professional boxing career. No ones talking about his morals or personal shit. Why do cancers always have to be in their feelings about shit?

He chose his fights well but the way he could adapt mid-match was always the thing I liked the most, he just had a lot of spare thought capacity not to get stuck with a plan A.

As in he was good at winging it when he needed to but in a tactical sense? Or he was very good at quickly figuring out the other opponent to then adapt to a tactical method to counter their strengths and manoeuvres?

No let me answer your ignorant ass for you. I don’t like backseat drivers or people generally telling me what to do and that equates someone to being sensitive, yes bitch? Or the fact that I don’t want my partner to call me a bitch, that make me sensitive? Ah perhaps according to your warped sense of reality. Then ofcourse there’s my being angered by a Capricorn that bullied vulnerable, defenseless and innocent humans? That makes me very fucking sensitive doesn’t it bitch? Hush yourself now. Hush.

Yes, the second one. If his man was ahead of him in the fight, he'd adapt, take away their strategy and just come out on top by the end of it.

It attracted a lot of criticism from would-be fans because it's reactive and not toe-to-toe boxing.

So when you say reactive are you speaking in terms of him being in a defensive state most of the time in order to diffuse any strikes from the other opponent and keep the round going without being hit or KO’ed? A lot of people praise him for his defensive strategies and say that was his forte?

Yeah it was his decision to go that route from an early age, and it's great on a personal level for him. But even me as a fan can say it made for boring fights.

I think it has a lot to do with motive as well. I think he definitely had a desire to ensure he stayed undefeated and was never KO’ed (correct me if I’m wrong, I think maybe he’s been knocked down once?). That was what he wanted his record to be and his claim to fame as a mainstream boxer so he can retire with that under his belt. However there will be boxers that have an MO of being performers and they will make the fight what people want to see. It will be a performance, playing up to an audience and then perhaps in that they slip up in a methodical sense because that was the mindset they went in with.
