    Default An interesting sort of switch hitter.

    Here is one of the Greats, who I think didnt switch meaning to consciously switch continually for any trite reasons.

    Watch the first few minutes keep your eye on his feet and they change but its the opponent who changes them for him.

    He simply allows it. You see that he is so into being solid off both hands when Michael goes out on an angle Humberto simply follows him with which ever hand is closest to the side Michael heads out on, so he never has to break the distance up or lose any time or momentum on resetting a stance to his opponents new position.

    Probably my favorite fight too at least in the top 5, maybe you should watch it from the start

    Heres the last bit anyway, Michaels been down twice already so Humberto is head hunting as he had been from the start.

    Respect totally to both men here.

    He also uses it to naturally follow and retain the distance with the rear arm becomming the front jab and also goes out of and and back into range very fast with it too.

    I'll just shut up there, dont want to wreck the ending for anyone who hasnt seen it.

    Great fight. Buffer was dressed like Fonzie (what the fuck?). Apparently he didn't have time to change into his tux. Brilliant.

    Gonzalez style made it look like he was fighting square on most of the time.

    Yeah interesting style.They came to bang Mexican warfare, like a lighter version of Barrera and Morrales this ended up being a triple too. I wont comment on the next two if you havent seen them,both good fights different than this though, in Mexico City the crowd are so pro Humberto even though Michael is of Mexican decent,he wasnt local anymore.
