"He got exposed..."

[Vendettos]

It’s another one of these boxing terms that means nothing at all in the way that it is used. Its turned into a put down of sorts. I do think that Donaire was a bit of a hype job because of some of his finishes but that does not mean he was exposed. He did look a little one dimensional in the fight but that's a credit to Rigo. I think a second fight looks much different and is most likely to happen unless mandatory's get in the way.

Exposure can mean taking advantage of a certain weakness (styles make fights) or at times one is totally outclassed by another leading the viewer to believe the loser had no business being there.



Max Baer exposed Primo Carnera as a lumbering oaf mob creation.
Jack Dempsey exposed Jess Willard as a flailing big man of little skill
Gene Tunney did not expose Harry Greb
Bernard Hopkins exposed Kelly Pavlik's rinse a repeat style not Kelly the fighter
Ray Leonard did not expose Thomas Hearns

Calzaghe exposed Lacy. No denying.
