    Old time fighters did that.

    Ward tends to do it at certain moments in fights.

    Is that when he's not clinching and headbutting?

    Carl Froch's guard was his nose

    blocked most shots

    all he had to do was keep his head still and punches just bounced off it

    unique but affective

    ward did well against Kov and gave a good account of himself with little holding.

    you might want to comb through fighters than converted over from Muay Thai as old habits tend to die hard... but also many of the older fighters as Master said. Before the stances, guards, and physics/kinetics came into play for the sake of efficiency.

    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Jack Johnson is the Man! The king of the swagger! The king of the World!

    So many years ahead of his time.

    Makes Ali look like a choir boy in comparison.

    Haye and Groves use a sort of half long guard, at times keeping their jab hand basically touching the other guys guard.

    It let's you measure distance but takes away some head guarding in the process.
