Sorry, guys, I'm on a roll. I'm enjoying it anyway.
Many people are wondering what style of boxing Hoppa will adopt.
There's the out-fighter, like Muhammed Ali and Larry Holmes, who maintain a gap and pick off their opponent. Hoppa could do that because he's good at jabbing.
Then there's the brawler, like Sonny Liston, George Foreman, & Mike Tyson who may lack finesse but make up for it in raw power. Hoppa is certainly capable of the one-hit knockout as Keith Galloway will attest.
But the most interesting to watch are fighters like Joe Frazier, who favour closing inside an opponent, overwhelming them with intensity and flurries. So the question is, will Hoppa follow natural tendencies and become an In-fighter?
i.e. Will he get his opponent in his corner and using a tactic of slipping and bobbing to the inside, inject everything he has until he throws in the towel.
... and who'd want to use the towel after all that?
