He's got a decent defense, basically blocking alot of punches and all the reach helps him avoid punches also, but it will catch up to him sooner or later.
Agreed...but I still hate HATE hate his defense.
I think that it will be his downfall & I worry about it as much as I do him stickin' out his chin...but the chin thing he can correct pretty easily...as far as his defense goes...you can't teach an old doggy new tricks.
He's been set in his ways for so long...I don't see how he can change that this late in the game.
Pavlik has pretty much no defense. He uses almost an European style. He's too straight up and keeps his chin up too much too. But its worked for him so far, and made him world champion, so I can't complain too much. His offense is really his defense, but he keeps his hands up most the time, I'll give him that.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
