I don't know how a guy who has as many bouts as you is allowed to fight, totally shocks me. These are some amateur kids who spar at my gym. Watch the vid and compare how the technical differences. Again, not trying to dog on you, but I doubt that was even an organized amateur boxing fight.

I see where you are coming from the fat guy threw the ugliest arm punches I have ever seen at the beginning of the fight. The TS wasn't nearly as bad of technique but you're right it wasn't a technical exhibition at all. You also have to consider what really matters when you set up a fight is that both guys are on the same talent level so nobody gets hurt.
