I watched the McGirt fights and he was soo slick he actually pulled off a behind the back punch...that was classic. I loved when he was leading going into the 12th round, he would put on a show. Really entertaining fighter to watch.
The first McGirt fight is one of my favorite fights of all time. McGirt was a very very skilled fighter but as honorably as he showed himself, he really didn't stand a chance. Whitaker just toyed with him. The behind the back punch was awesome. And then in the 12th, he jumped 3 feet off the mat to dodge a jab from McGirt and then when he was still in the air he bent in half to avoid a cross that came behind it. Awesome stuff.
