I am not a purist all though I can admire and enjoy watching a great Boxer pick someone apart. I like to be entertained and to see real heart and determination even if this is displayed by the less technically adept. I do despite this though, agree that aggression on it's own is not enough, it must be effective aggression. To reward someone who may be relentless in coming forward even though he is getting smacked back by crisp, clever counter punching is just not cricket.

A fighter who can through hard work, and thorough preparation, build stamina and fitness levels to somewhat bolster his more limited boxing prowess, and then use this in a fight to beat the more accomplished boxer, to me can be equally as admirable as the naturally gifted technician who lacks the application to train hard and is simply not as brave.
