How smart it was to allow a big brawler (with a 40-0 win record, 37 by KO) to tire himself out and stick and move. But when KenFlo avoids Huerta's big punches and using smart striking combined, smart take downs combined with an evasive style...you say that he is running. Yes, Ali KO'd Foreman in the 8th round, but even if the fight went to a decision it was all Ali.

I don't disagree with you and I'm just nitpicking.
I don't thik Ali's rope-a-dope strategy against Foreman is a good example of stick and move. Ali really sat on the ropes and took a beating, he did stick and move during the fight, but not in the way you are describing or in the way he had done previously against the likes of Sonny Liston.
All said decent read, probably end up being wasted effort b/c no most sherdoggers probably havent seen that fight or care about anything in boxing.
