Floyd was missing a lot of shots in this match. his feet looked flat. I am not talking about not running, i mean his heels were planted on the ground like an old guy. His reflexes look bad and speed looked bad. He was unable to release combinations (losing a step). Forget the pathetic way the fight ended, the real story of the fight is that Mayweather looked like a washed up version of himself. Freddie Roach must be salivating over this.
Joey,
What fight were you watching man? Did you not see how he could connect his right at anytime? He looked slower against mosely if anything...he was shooting lasers at ortiz's face and would pop him with the left hook or a body shot occasionally. That was the best mayweather has looked in his last 5 fights...he was aggressive, showed his usual defensive prowess, and walked Ortiz down making him run a few times. Man if anything, roach is thinking how the hell am I going to teach PAC how to get out of the way off those rights...May showed that when he puts his foot on the gas, it doesnt matter if you're orthodox or southpaw, he will find a way to beat that ass. I want to hate on him so bad because he's a d*ckhead outside that ring but god damn, that was going to be a f'n massacre if they kept it going...it looked like gatti pt2 out there...I was shocked how he came to fight.
I don't mean flat footed as he was tryng to trade punches. I mean the placement of his feet were flat. Old guys fight like that. he looked very uncoordinated. I don't accuse Floyd of running, I know he shoulder rolls since moving up to 147lbs. I am talking about the actual feet being flat at times. The feet are the first thing to go... but overall Floyd is deteriorating very fast.
im gonna watch the fight myself and remember this post, i thought he may looked alil sloppy during certain exchanges but floyd isnt barrera so he could throw some sloppy out of place swings but even that i'd consider nit picking since floyd did drill him almost on command
He looked pretty dang good to me honestly. And I'm in no way a fanboy of his. He's a piece of ****, but his in-ring skills are undeniable.
watch the fight with the sound off.
he had a nice lead right, and that only worked cus Ortiz was trying to get inside. other than that he didnt't land much. His legs looked terrible.
Hes been past it for a few years now..thats unquestionable
i wouldnt say the flatfeet would be a reason why hes past it, but i think he was standing his ground even more so, whenever he wanted to get the hell out of the way he did it,
u may find this shocking TS but aside from maybe the baldimor fight floyd doesnt dance or run around much, hes almost has been a flat footed fighter through out his career believe it or not, watch his fights, did i think he had maybe a lil rust and didnt wanna pointlessly run around when he can just out box sure, i can say that, but i wouldnt go as far as saying directly that hes flat footed because hes past prime, thats alil overboard perhaps.
if needs to move around his legs are fully capable of doing so and for a long period of time even in his career right now

lol wow.
his feet may have looked "flat" because he was walking down ortiz the entire fight. he wasn't dancing and boxing from the outside. Like I said before the fight and why I predicted a floyd TKO was because I knew he would fight toe-to-toe. Like Roger kept saying between rounds "keep walking him down"
If by walking down, you mean having your back against the ropes, then ok...
All i saw from Floyd is a nice lead right. No combinations. A lot of missed jabs and left hooks. He looked slow.
