    The last great 15 round war. Qawi was on the downhill of his career and evader was on the way up. Qawi is so underrated. Props to your channel for keeping the old fighters legacies alive.

    This is a really great fighr, an all-time great fight, probably the best cruiserweight fight ever. The Cruiserweight limit at this time was 190 pounds, about the same weight as most heavyweights were up until about the late 1950s. So Holyfield and Qawi were big enough to hit very hard but also fast, athletic, and able to fight at a great pace for a full 15 rounds. Yes a real gem from the past.

    Being an ex fighter myself from Camden NJ.,home of Qawi Braxton. He was an inspiration for me during those days .I used to get up @5am to go running and had the pleasure of meeting him at cooper river park where most fighters ran the 5.2 miles around the park,that's where I met him ,also met Rocky lockridge who defeated Roger Mayweather to capture the title in the featherweight division.Good times.great memories. Whoo!

    Height is often a detrimental asset in fights. Strength speed and weight are more significant aspects. Height just so happens to correlate with weight most of the time and so does Strength. But these things are changeable.

    Only if you make it! Both have advantages and disadvantages. Bigger the person, averagely more power when using body mass behind punches but less mobility and sloppy footwork and wind… Top heavyweight boxers are 5 footers like Him, Mike, Rocky Marciano, Tommy burns, Sam Langford, James lights out Toney, butterbean, Roy jones, Archie Moore…. Just improving power, speed, strength, endurance and importantly skills will take you far

    Secondo la mia esperienza di 27 anni di carriera, pur se mestierante, e, quindi, a livelli neanche paragonabili a questi che TheWorldofBoxing ci ha proposto, aggiungo interessantissimi, la prima virtù, la prima dote che deve avere un atleta per poter praticare questo bellissimo sport che è la boxe, ripeto che deve avere, è un grande senso dell'equilibrio, se il tuo boxiere si accorgesse che sei un ragazzo con poco equilibrio ti dovrebbe subito dire di sceglierti un altro sport. Il pugile è, quindi, anche e ancor prima un funàmbolo, e un gatto che cade sempre in piedi.
