  The sport of Boxing is a martial art that has one main goal. To hit your opponent, but not be hit by your opposition. A practice that is often easier said than done, but one that when executed to near perfection is not always appreciated by Boxing fans that look to Boxing for the type of entertainment value that is seen in the type of thrilling back and forth battles that are not only remembered fondly by fans and viewed by Boxing fans decades after they occur thanks to available technology, but also allows Boxing scribes and historians no shortage of material to reference as we continue our journeys covering the sport we love.   For a Boxing purist however, there is something to appreciate when a fighter comes along that is able to blend the elements of the art of Boxing, the sport known as” The Sweet Science “ into a complete package it is fascinating to watch.

  Undefeated former IBO world Jr. Welterweight champion Jeremias Ponce scored a tenth round knockout over a very “Game “ Lewis Ritson on Saturday night at the Eagles Community Arena in Newcastle, England. Before a pro hometown Ritson crowd of a thousand spectators, Ponce implemented a grueling strategy by forcing the fight in close early and focusing much of his attack to Ritson’s body with both hands. This in addition to a near non-stop pace Ponce put forth gave him an edge. In the first round a combination of body shots appeared to have Ritson in trouble, but he was able to survive. From this point on, the fight followed a consistent pattern, Ritson trying to land punches to keep Ponce from coming forward, but Ponce immediately answering any offense Ritson had with harder punches often in combination.   Remarkably, Ponce’s pace did not decrease as the fight progressed. By round ten, Ritson was seemingly behind on the scorecards, but it would be the consistent body attack tha...
