The backstory is interesting but I'm not sure if I "respect" a guy who fights not to get knocked out rather than to actually try to win. Despite the ravings of the HBO guys I learned very little about ODLH from this fight. Maybe 150 is a better weight for him than 160 or 168 and maybe that will give him the edge he didn't have in the past but I sure couldn't tell against Teve Torbes.
