Hit and not get hit and being exciting are almost oxymorons (unless you're a KO artist like a Tyson or Pacquaio). As fans, the most exciting fights are when both guys are beating the shit out of each other (Gatti/Ward, Hagler/Hearns, and of course Bradley/Prod). It means taking punishment.
Boxers should have the heart to go to war, but the intelligence to avoid it when necessary.
Bradley was not going to KO JMM. He knew that, everyone knew that. He won the only way he could have, because if he chose to be exciting and exchange with JMM, he probably would have gotten KO'd. That's stupid. You can't expect guys to fight stupid just because it's more exciting for you.
