...that's what you're experiencing right now.

The confusion is your own.

Surprising that an experienced boxer can't recognize an experienced counterpuncher, and just takes wild swing after swing, assuming that his opponent is flatfoooted or has a glass jaw because he's letting you tire yourself out punching at him like you're waving a feather.

This is a mirror of your own conduct to me on this thread, including the gratuitous ridicule. Take another look.

The confusion is your own.
