Justme: The boxer was a good boxer, had a few professional bouts in atlantic city in the late seventies, and he was indeed in the black belt division. Quite frankly I was a bit astonished at how poorly many black belts actually did in a less controlled environment than they were used to. An eye opener to say the least.

I'm not supprised Justme. That's also the difference between professional and non-professional tournaments. Professional boxing has LOTS of contact. Each person is trained not only to deliver powerful contact blows but they are used to being hit (and know how to take a hit!) I actually perfer boxing style blocks (and I use them to.)
No, I'm not supprised unless he went into a professional full contact tournament.
