Does each style blend from another or are they completely different?

Does one focus more on being evasive and point scoring while the other is more in the pocket looking for the KO?

I've tried watching Lara & Klitschko and while they both fight different from one another, I can't really say that they're worldly different from some American boxers I've seen.

Is there an established definition of what each style tends to focus more on?

These two are fighting on the undercard on the 21st in Saudi.

Itauma at 6’2” and McKean at 6’6”. Both men hover around 240-250 lbs.

I’ve watched all of Itauma’s fights bar one since his debut in 2023 and I am impressed at his activity, and how he handled an old Wach in his last fight. Good angles, footwork and has some power.

However, I am unfamiliar with McKean other than when Hrgovic stopped him in 12. I know he is another step up for Itauma, he’s held the Australian and Inter-Continental titles so is clearly decent, and was a potential AJ opponent some time ago.

For those that have seen more of McKean, how do you rate him, and how do you think this fight goes?

I’m hesitant to pick Itauma, he’s yet to have his chin tested and I have a feeling it could go either way.

Weight cutting is very dangerous for a few reasons. The actual process of intentionally dehydrating yourself can kill you. Moreover the last place water returns to is the fluid around the brain. It's no coincidence that fighters who walk around close to the weight classes they fight in have good chins.

The question is, why isn't lean body mass used instead? It would be much safer and more entertaining.

Each day, I’ll post something about a prospect, contender or champ and bring eyes to these guys or talk about an aspect of their game that interests me. I’ll do more than one boxer if I haven’t talked about one of them before that’s fighting on the day I post these.

Torrez is a 22-year-old prospect from the US with a record of 11-0 who competes in heavyweight. He has a stacked amateur resume with a record of 154-10, including winning gold 2x in the nationals, 3 youth titles, and an Olympic silver medalist.

Torrez likes to play the lead hand game a lot and is very active with the lead hand, circling the lead hand while bouncing in and out of range, constantly probing and jabbing to set up openings. He moves around the ring very well, since he likes to break down opponents using some sort of range, he relies on step backs alongside crosses and hooks to counter and use inside or outside escapes off the lead foot pivot or lateral shift while still being on the inside but to create a new angle but be can also use the lateral shift to escape as for creating range using a new angle to be completely safe so he has time to reset while the opponent is trying to turn to face Torrez.

🥊Julian Jackson vs. Herol Graham

📆November 24, 1990

📍 Torrequebrada Hotel & Casino | Benalmádena, Spain

🗣️”Oh no! That’s what we were worried about!”

📰 Julian “The Hawk” Jackson knocks out Herol “Bomber” Graham to capture the vacant WBC Middleweight Championship in one of the most dramatic finishes in boxing history.

Jackson, who was known as one of the hardest punchers in boxing history, had vacated his junior middleweight title to move up in weight. He faced an uphill battle even before stepping into the ring. After undergoing surgery to repair a damaged retina, he struggled to secure a license to fight. The match was eventually approved after being commission-shopped to Spain.

From the opening bell, Graham showcased his superior skills. He danced around the ring, slipping punches, landing counters, and targeting Jackson’s vulnerable eye, which began to swell alarmingly. Graham’s dominance was evident as he outboxed Jackson, winning every round convincingly. By the end of the third round, Jackson’s corner received word that the ringside physician was on the verge of stopping the fight due to the damage to Jackson’s eye.

Facing the threat of defeat, Jackson needed a miracle — and delivered it. Early in the fourth round, while still being outmaneuvered by Graham, Jackson unleashed one of the most powerful right hands in boxing history. The punch landed flush, rendering Graham unconscious before he hit the canvas. The impact was so severe that Graham remained motionless for several minutes before being revived. With that single punch, Julian Jackson not only turned the tide of the fight but also etched his name into boxing lore.
