If you watched 24/7 they showed the clip a couple times of Freddie Roach saying he knows why De La Hoya blew it during the 2nd half of the Mayweather fight/why he will lose to Pac, but he is not telling. He said we will see it during the fight. What could he be talking about?

I don't think there's much of a secret really, I thought it was pretty clear DLH got cautious about throwing his jab because Mayweather was being effective with right hands over the top, and if it's the stamina thing, that's definitely not a secret.

It was for this reason that I kind of wondered why DLH didn't jab as often. PBF can make guys leary about jabbing because of his counter right over the jab, unless you're Gatti or Ndou, and keep throwing the jab no matter how many times Mayweather hits you clean with a right hand over it.
But with DLH, I didn't see Mayweather's counter right over the jab being effective. What he was very effective with, however, was jabbing to DLH's body, and then coming upstairs with a right to the head. That worked for PBF time and time again.

DLH was doing a pretty good job of blocking Mayweather's right hand, I thought Compubox was giving Mayweather way too much credit for punches that DLH managed to block.
Maybe it has something to do with Roach saying DLH has a weak mind, maybe Mayweather got him thinking the jab wasn't effective because of his elusiveness, I saw Roach drilling Pacquiao on how to duck and slip the jab and get to the body in the training video, maybe he's trying to do the same thing, make Pacquiao elusive so that DLH will stop jabbing because of his so called weak mind.
