By Robert “Big Moe” Elmore: I love to watch every style of boxing, although technical fighters are my favorite. Exciting-all-out-fighters sells tickets and they bring the fans back to see them fight. But they lack one thing that can probably sustain their career and that is defense. It doesn’t have to be that much if they don’t want to. I say just enough not to have your brain rattled to the point of concussion (as Tim Bradley said he had in his post fight interview in his bout with Ruslan Provodnikov).
What I saw last Saturday night from Alfredo Angulo in his bout with Erislandy Lara fight was utterly ridiculous. The man was being hit with the same 1-2 combo repeatedly. Did anybody in Angulo’s corner’ or more importantly Alfredo himself stop say “I need to do something about this. I’m getting hit with same combination”. Was he that focused on trying to finish off Lara or please the crowd that he disregarded safety?
