  • Will Margs Implement the Cross-Arms or Crab like defense?

    There were moments in Marg-Mosley where the shorter mosley was able to land over hand rights on Margs. Pac is even shorter and if Margs stands tall he likely would go underneath. The cross arms defense that guys like Archie Moore and George Forman seems a better protection with both arms cutting off counters that go underneath and up to the chin.

    Trainer Garcia has hinted he would throw in new looks that Roach has never seen, he has talked about using the jab and reach advantage, and wonder if new defensive schemes will be implemented?

    uh.... probably not.

    mosley was landing the overhand right because margs crouches, and well, the overhand right is supposed to land on taller boxers.

      It'd be intresting seeing Tony try and use that guard; didn't Cotto try out the cross arm defense a couple of times against Pacquiao as well?
