this is why I just can't like the guy, he's an egomaniac. He thinks he's entitled to the applause of drunk people who just overpaid for their tickets even though he chose to fight a really boring fight (which is fine and no one would have remembered). Then defends himself by saying he would have been criticized if he'd knocked him out right away? Stay off the internet dude.
Well I also think of redding as a round of 12 type guy, haven't seen much out of Block that makes me think he's a gonna get multiple wins at NCAAs.....but let me look at his HS....
I think other variables like partners, technique, travel, and even strength have equalized to such an extent that the value of the youth variable has risen and seems to be continuing to.
