Whoever first said “the best offense is a good defense” must not have been a fan of heavyweight boxing.
It’s OK to be a cutie-pie like Willie Pep or Pernell Whitaker if you’re a little guy, but for large men it’s always better to succeed with a high terror quotient and a wide mean streak than with flawless technique. From John L. Sullivan to Jack Johnson to Jack Dempsey to Joe Louis to Rocky Marciano to Joe Frazier to George Foreman and Mike Tyson, the heavyweights who have most held the public in their thrall were big boppers who could turn out the lights with a single shot, then stand sneering over their fallen opponents.

His manager was pinched on a coke bust and his opponent dropped out a week before his scrap. You must give Kendall Holt points for going with the flow, and staying focused in his bout with Demetrius Hopkins at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City in New Jersey on Saturday night. Hopkins too must get props for stepping in on short notice, and cutting down from welter to junior welterweight. But that aside, it was a bit of a ho hum affair in AC, as the styles of the two men combined for a drama- free interlude that sometimes looked like a sparring sesh. After 12 rounds, the Jerseyite Holt, who does deserve some good news after all, had his hand raised, and was informed he’d be holding on to his WBO crown.
