You had no idea. Thats your own fault.
Check some of my earlier posts, i was rooting for Ghost.
Mayweather is too skilled. PERIOD.
Most of you have no idea what you saw transpire that night. GIFTED.
I'm rewatching the fight, and ****in Gurrero finally did some head movement while coming at Floyd and Floyd couldn't fire off the right hand.. round 11, and what happens when Guerrero reaches mid-range(perfect for firing off on Mayweather).. he throws ONE punch then SMOTHERS HIMSELF.
Guerrero showed some head movement in the first round. He ducked and made Floyd's right miss.
Floyd's a professional who does reconnaissance in the first round and uses that knowledge to figure out how to set up his shots
Once he started getting popped he basically left out head movement, it looked like he couldn't pull the trigger by round 4.
Robert Guerrero didn't even try to use any head movement, I thought they could adapt. I thought the Guerreros said he's aging, lost his legs, and at the end of the fight.. "HE RAN! HE RAN LIKE A CHICKEN!"
Landed 2-3 times as many right hands as Floyd held, and Floyd did not hold all night at all, most of the holding was done in rounds 1-3.
This is what people dont understand. Guerror is trying to get his shots off. He is out of distance. Because of this , he wont use head movement. Its uneeded because he feels safe and his mind is on getting his shots off.
Then theres mayweather who is so damn good at feinting and letting his right hand go. And causing the ghost to stifle and let his right hand go.
Then theres rhythm. U notice how floyds right hand is very hard to time? Unpredictable?
he disguises it in his foot work or upper trunk movement or a half jab which he pulls back and then shoots the straight. Or a bunch of other tricks he uses.
Or hes just to damn fast he lands from a good distance away.
U cant say "head movement" , its beyond head movement.
And soon as floyds shots begin to connect theres more anxiety in the ghost because this is what floyd does and u people call it potshotting, ....hes making the ghost think where the next shot is comming from. Willie Pep used to do this.
When that happens ur opponent thinks less about his attack and more about trying to attack u in a counter type fashion ( if he can successfully anticipate ur attack. But floyd mixes it up very well with timing and rhythm and positions . too smart )
If u notice, the ghost did land some body shots in return. That left hook to the body after he timed some of floyds attacks.
The dude floyd is a master!
Cavemen only understand, "stand there so I can hit you and you hit me".
Usually the fighters that ask for toe to toe its because its their only slim chance to win.:lame:
