I think the UFC fans are understanding this after what happened last weekend. The tactical fighters will always want to learn about their opponents in the ring. its what makes them great! It may look boring to some but it looks exciting to true fans.

I can't really describe some of the above fighters' styles with any real authority because I'm just going on second hand accounts, but I believe they were all regarded as "skillful" and/or "scientific" boxers, and collectively they obviously constitute a large chunk of that period's major boxing history.Last edited by S.G.; 05-02-2011, 04:24 PM.

Now I know where the Calderon thing came from in the other threadLast edited by jrosales13; 08-20-2011, 02:25 AM.
