Phone Booth scraps vs. Long range pot-shots!

[ykdadamaja]

Have you guys even bothered to youtube Locche or Willie? People speak of Whitaker and Floyd for a reason. "Pot shots" What does that even mean? Ali and Leonard were pot shot artists. The idea of this sport is to beat the guy across the ring by punching him in the face and body and not be punched yourself. Its based on a 10 point must system not the time elapsed to get a hot dog.

When you're running backwards and pot-shotting you get hit and gas out and get stopped too. Phone booth fights doesn't necessarily mean the other guy is taking a lot of damage... you can be in a phone booth and not get hit. Done it and seen it happen.

As a boxer, I like to counter-punch alot. Fuck phone booth type fighting, it gets really chaotic at times and the technique just seems to go and it turns into a brawl. I rather keep my distance and fight strategically.

Exactly.. this is the mentality of someone who boxes. Fuck phonebooth brawls unless it's one of those moments when it's inevitable.

A fighter can be as skilled as it gets without needing to keep the fight at long range though, that's why the thread is a bit vague. Chavez and Toney were already mentioned, those guys understood the science as well as can be, they just knew what they did best and that was usually in close quarters.
