Phone Booth scraps vs. Long range pot-shots!

[ykdadamaja]

What do you prefer? I guess it all depends on my mood of the night of the fight. I don't mind a good, long range, tactical fight- where guys have a little bit of counter-punching action to them.

Then again: Phone Booth fights are pretty fun too, if you like intense drama.

All depends. I like to see one turn into the other now and then as much as anything in boxing I think. In general I appreciate fighters who understand and can control distance by whatever means suits them, every fight is different.

[ykdadamaja]

Yea. It depends for me as well. But, whatever it is, I like to see brutal, minute long mauls that end in GLORIOUS knockouts. lolol... watch the Wlad vs. Brewster 1 fight to see what I mean.

Phone booth betwixt two well matched opponents are fun too watch. The first Alvarado v Rios was a classic. I also like guys like Rigo but at least a little phone booth per fight is a good thing.

What do you mean by phone booth exactly? Chacon/Limon? I really enjoyed those fights. I enjoyed Leonard/Benitez just as much.

OUt of those two choices, Id have to go with long range boxing match.. Fuck phonebooth brawls between two limited fighters.

Like Figueroa-Arakawa for instance.. It did nothing for me. I can't believe people are putting that one as FOTY..

I like both, an all out slug fest can save an otherwise boring card. Two boxer punchers are great to watch too, controlling the ring and pace of the fight, sudden knock downs or knock outs, older, smarter veterans outsmarting younger, faster fighters.
The fights I don't like are two evenly matched boxers--neither with any pop--doing the same thing round after round.
