That's one of the things I like best about boxing - there's a lot more to it than technique. Joe got inside Kessler's head in that fight, confused him with movement and took him out of his game. Joe does look wild at times, but that's just his technique. If a fighter can be that successful with a style that is technically flawed, maybe we should re-examine the definition of good technique. People say similar things about Pacquiao, and it's true - neither of these guys are textbook. But that doesn't diminish the skill they possess - it's just a different skill set than the "textbook" fighter.
