I actually could not remember, hard as i try, recalling a battle between counterpunchers that turned out as a smashing slambang type of a fight.

The formula for a good fight has always been a slugger vs a counterpuncher, or boxer vs slugger, for these type of match-ups to an extent, guarantees at least a good scrap.

The JMM vs PBF, at surface level seemingly is a duel between counterpunchers. It is a lot more than just this as i can see now.

Both are HOF warriors, and putting a limit to their skills in fighting is surely misplaced.

This initially was the prevailing thought that I leaned towards. It has now since changed as things have started to take shape. I believe now that the pressures for a great performance will necessitate both fighters to take further risks in their match, thereby if I am right, a promise of a slambang affair.

Otherwise, a yawner, if in fact they should keep the fight at their preferred safe levels. The moonwalk vs the duck...endless several repeats later ....that is it, an overview of the fight.

I am hoping for the first scenario, the slambang, tactical but full of action and with surprising excitement. Goes without saying... that will be more bang for my buck!
