I've noticed that alot of Roach's fighters almost never use the jab. Like Vasquez, the Pacquiao's, De La Hoya for the Mayweather fight, Manfredo jr, and others. im not saying its necessarily a bad thing becuz his fighters are good regardless, but its just something i noticed. Did anyone else notice or is this already old news?

Did you notic that most top fighters have stopped using a consistent jab? I actually think the whole trend started with Roy Jones Jr. Then you saw more and more talented guys like Mosley, Mayweather and Pacquiao come around and succeed without using a consistent jab

Originally posted by Hitman18 View PostYea i noticed that too. But i think it has to do with their opponents being inside fighters who rush in, so they counter with big shots, so the jab really doesn't need to be used.

Lol at De La Hoya being a roach fighter. I bet Roach didn't even train De La Hoya to keep using the jab constantly. He saw it working so he said keep using it.
Also what are you talking about? Vasquez uses his jab a lot. Marquez and Vasquez would jab their way in and then slug it out. That might be Perez's work though.
