Hmmm,so basically
not willing to engage?
So where is the line drawn between running and boxing? I think Corey Spinks is the prefect fighter to discuss,I know guys like Hulk think he runs ALOT whereas others say he is a pure boxer,where is the line? Did he run v Mayorga/Karmazin?
I think so. Corey Spinks isnt a boxer that i think runs a lot, he boxer Mayorga for the most part and would have been stupid to stand and trade with him. SRL ran when he fought Duran the second time because even though he was winning some rounds he was still fighting at Durans pace. RJJ vs Johnson is a perfect example of running
