The first few years I started following boxing I was very attracted to the classic boxer style who like a matador used his opponent's aggression as his own demise, I loved watching the defensive wizards of the time pulling their defensive maneuvers in a split second to make his opponent miserably.
As the years passed I decided to take a shot at the only sport that drives me, I learned to appreciate the toughness and perseverance of the brawler who takes his opponent best shots but later breaks him with his sheer will.
I still appreciate the different styles, but I must admit that as a hardcore fan who sees every televised boxing card around the world every Fridays and Saturdays(sometimes in the middle of the week) I always look for excitement and the unexpected. So when I see a highly touted prospect dominating the entire half of the fight only to succumb to his opponent' toughness and will is a sight to behold, and one of the reasons why I love the sport.
