Does victory always go to the faster fighter?

[crosstrainedwar]

It seems to me that in boxing, the faster fighter just about always wins. Am I right? If not, then how can a person defeat an opponent whose defense is very hard to penetrate, and whose punches usually break through your defense? I am talking strictly in the context of a boxing match, not a streetfight. Thanks in advance.

precision beats speed.

well said.

Speed is nothing without timing.
