Nigs, never saw Langton fight like that. He ALWAYS comes forward, and tries to beat up his opponent by mugging him. He also never sits in his stool, but stands during the entire fight. I think what happened is that James and his trainer got some sparring partner to emulate Monty's movements, and James said he needs to be much more disciplined in the ring against Monty. No, he needed to keep coming forward and throw his punches and exchange with Monty. James also had little urgency and intensity, despite his corner telling him he was the champ and needed to be more active. I think he over-trained, and the occasion zapped his energy. No snap in his jab, and his right hand was slow. Believe me, Monty's not all that.
Yep, Hemi's opponent was hurt also. Looked like the ref "forgot" to step in when Hemi either slipped or took a knee, and was hit just as he was standing up, which was the big blow.
