(Video) MAYWEATHER TRAINING 3 DAYS BEFORE SHOWDOWN WITH ORTIZ

what's that song playing when floyd starts to jump rope? is that a MJ song? Michael Jacksons Earth Song

I already have money on Floyd by decision, but something about this vid makes me wanna bet more lol. Probably put something down on Floyd stopping Ortiz in rounds 11 and 12. Floyd has that look in his eye like he's going to go for the kill. Ugh, but i think Ortiz will go into survival mode, so i don't believe Floyd would be able to finish him. This fight cannot come soon enough!

money money money!

still fast with ankle weights and 20lb dumbbells? nobody come close to this guy.....

Off Topic: From Kieran Mulvaney's blog; LAS VEGAS -- As often as Floyd Mayweather Jr. has taken on and beaten some big names in his career -- from Genaro Hernandez to Diego Corrales to Oscar De La Hoya -- critics have continued to point to the ones that got away: Kostya Tszyu, Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto. All of them are, it is argued, opponents Mayweather could have taken on but chose not to. Speaking with reporters this week, Mayweather and adviser Leonard Ellerbe placed the blame for most of those fights not occurring on Mayweather's former promoter Bob Arum, and explained their side of why a clash with Cotto in particular never took place. "I was trying to fight these guys," Mayweather said. "I was calling all these guys out. I was asking for these guys a long time ago. If I couldn't get 'em, I couldn't get 'em."Cotto used to be at the Top Rank gym every day, according to Mayweather. ("He was a fan," said Ellerbe. "He was always very respectful.") "The Cotto fight never happened," Mayweather said, "because Arum was like, 'De La Hoya has gone, Mayweather's done a couple fights with another promoter, I don't know if he's gonna be with me that much longer. So before I let him beat my fighter and leave, I'd rather not let that fight happen." "We asked for that fight," Ellerbe added. "Me and Floyd both sat in Bob's office and asked for that fight when we were with him. They would never let us anywhere near him." "No, it's not that," corrected Mayweather. "We asked for the fight and they said OK, but first they used Bruseles -- he had the same style, from the same stable -- as a test." ("A crash dummy," in Ellerbe's description.) " we'll see how this fight is gonna play out," Mayweather said. "They did, and they said, 'No' ." Mayweather has no beef with Cotto -- "I've got nothing but respect for what Cotto has done with his career," he said -- but bristles at the notion that he has ducked him, or any other fighter, for that matter. Cotto has "always been Todd's personal pet project, coming up through the ranks," said Ellerbe, referring to Top Rank president Todd duBoef. "They would never, never put Cotto nowhere near Floyd. Then, after Floyd became his own boss and he's generating all these record revenues, then all of a sudden when he wins a fight, that's when they start saying, 'Oh, he was afraid of the bogeyman.'" "When I was with Top Rank, I was the best fighter they ever had," Mayweather said. "That's the Arum feeds everybody. If Arum is paying you all, please let me know. So we got Bob Arum, when I'm with him, he says, 'Ain't nobody can ever beat this fighter. He's the best I ever had.' Right? But then when I left and I become my own boss, suddenly it's, 'He's scared of Antonio Margarito.' All the fighters they say I'm scared of are Arum fighters."

It's pad work specifically designed for counter-punching. It's not the same routine and it's not choreography. As a matter of fact, there numerous vids of them doing mitt work where they mess up. exactly Idk what dude is talking about it looks almost completely random

:boxing::boxing:

EXCELLENT POST!!!!! I have been saying this forever!!!! I have seen him do this exact same routine form years. He's been doing it his whole career, and to someone seeing this for ther first time it would look extremely impressive. This has been mastered after years and years of repitition and there is nothing new in that routine ever. They know each other very well, and they both should be good at it after this long. You are right as well about Floyd not throwing pinches this fluidly in a fight. He throws one punch at a time. This is a well choreographed routine mastered over time. It's pad work specifically designed for counter-punching. It's not the same routine and it's not choreography. As a matter of fact, there numerous vids of them doing mitt work where they mess up.

The only cautionary note I would sound, from a non-Floyd fan, is that the pad work with Uncle Roger is beautiful choreography and nobody does that better. But it is like a dance routine that two partners have performed a 1,000 times. Uncle Roger knows his movements and does his best to make his nephew look great. In a real fight the opponent is attacking and not holding mitts and respecting Floyd. Not moving in a well-rehearsed way. In the real fights, Floyd throws one or two or at the most three punches before returning to defense. His punches are not as free-flowing as pad work. I don't question if Floyd still has good reflexes or boxing skills. I wonder whether after the fight gets into middle rounds and it becomes rough and Floyd isn't doing all the punching, but also doing some of the taking, will he show signs of slippage and age then?

Damn! 24/7 had me wondering if Floyd had started to slow down but if he has it obviously isn't by much. That was an awesome video and shows why the man is so ****ing good. If Floyd's legs don't let him down I see this being a total wash after about round 3.

Floyd is seriously going to punk Ortiz on saturday.. :lol1: Class will be in session..

This is the same pad work mayweather has been doing his whole career!!! It's all repitition!!! He should be good at it by now as long as he's been doing it. It's nothing new, it's always the exact same. It's not, actually.

It's meant for counter-punching. When I saw for the first time, I thought it was choreography as well... then I ordered mastering the mitts and Roger actually breaks it down slowly, although it's really not that slow at all. He doesn't give away all the tricks in the breakdown though because I've noticed that he incorporates different movements and technical aspects with Jr. Anyway, it's not choreographed and it's certainly not for show or to look cool. You should actually try it some time, then you'll understand.

don't know how he is going to replace roger, may have to bring his father in. His father still has extremely quick hands.

He trained on the Thursday before the fight against SSM, and also 72 hours before the ODLH fight. He mentioned that he always does this to stay sharp. What amazes me is that he never seems to come in completely flat or overtrained. I remember Stevie Forbes doing an interview before the DLH fight, I think it was so don't quote me, but he said the night before the fight, Mayweather had him and Ishe Smith in the gym sparring... The night before the fight.

In the video that Gino Ros posted, Floyd said that he was going to spar 10 rounds today like he did yesterday. His rounds have been 8-9 minutes and he's running uphill 45 minutes on a treadmill. That is insanity.

That earth song is a change of pace for me, smooth and relaxing yet makes me wanna push harder in training well until the church choir steps in haha. Floyd by Gatti (RIP) esk beat down

Poor little Ortiz is going to get whipped. Pacquiao won't be eager to take the test after this fight.

Im pretty sure the guy does normal pads behind close doors,since day 1 wot he shows us in the training videos is some showing off not he's real training just snipetts....Like the way they claim he dose'nt scout opponents i dont believe for a second.still though the greatest fighter in the world imo
