I'm sure he's looking for a way to take it down as soon as possible so he doesn't have to try and hang with somebody who has an advantage over him standing up. I'm not saying boxing is the end all stand up style im just saying you're better served in a style (boxing/ kickboxing/ muai thai) where you can end the fight before you're taken into the other guys element.

ya your right that when you go into a fight you want to make the other guy fight your fight. Its kind of like Oscar training for Mosley when he fights him he probably doent want to keep the fight in close but mosley does want to get inside and throw fast combos. But its a good feeling when your training pays off and you can beat a guy standing or on the ground.
