The boxer
Cresset brought a chair from his own kitchen when a venue could not promise one. After several contests it became recognised by the regular spectators. The chair’s legs were repaired more often than its seat. He was a steady worker who accepted that closing the range could take most of a round. His strongest passages came when an opponent began to treat that approach as predictable. Cresset would shorten the final step and arrive sooner than expected, making the difference between pressure that occupied space and pressure that used it.
Recorded style: Pressure fighter.
