*note: this is a Floyd analysis thread
He is a defensive maestro.
But I've been seeing in most of his fights where he has always been open to
THE BODY.
His opponents don't exploit it that much except for Maidana. When Floyd is Covering his face and covering his upper part with his shoulder roll, His stomach has always been open for hooks and stiff jabs to the body.
If you hit him in the body. His hands goes down, then that's when you hit his head. As how Maidana has been doing. He starts with the body and ends of throwing his overhand right to the head.
It's the body shots that starts it. Even when Mayweather is backing up. Floyd is open for right hooks to the body as how Maidana demonstrated it.
EASY TO GET HIT CLEANLY. EVEN WHILE FLOYD WAS BACKING UP THOSE RIGHT HOOKS TO THE THE BODY BY MAIDANA WAS LANDING EASILY.
BODY SHOTS evident here. Maidana run with it, and kept on starting his offense with it. Rinse repeat for 12 rounds. This revelation should be the key to all Floyd future opponents. Get Floyd to respect your body shots and his head will fall.
floyd is a great defensive fighter. part of that is not getting hit but another part is that when you do get hit its with the right kind of punches from your perspective.
at the end of the day everyone gets hit, its no getting around it. but you would rather get hit with a jab than a power shot and an experienced tough guy like floyd would rather soak up the bodyshots and man up through the pain than risk getting dropped with a clean headshot.
he couldnt shut chino down, he had to give him something and he decided to give him the bodyshots feeling that his own far more accurate body work would be more effective down the stretch. he was right too, chino wasnt able to break floyd down and got his ass handed to him in the later rounds despite his early body assault.
edit: did someone really say he doesnt like it to the body? lol
nobody likes it to the body, trust me. but floyd soaks up body punches just about as well as anyone in the game. never seen him visibly hurt from a bodyshot or even slow down too much late in the fight. floyd absorbs bodyshots like hes made of steel.
And it only took 18 years to figure that out.
Someone deserves the Nobel for finally cracking the MayVinci Code.

Some of you talk about Floyd's face post-fight as if he had swollen eyes and whatnot. :rofl:

Sparring gloves doe. :haha:
I got very drunk but I didn't complain like FloydTroopers. Amazing how you need to bring up the Pacquiao KO to make yourself feel better :rofl: JUAN BEAT PACQUIAO NOT FLOYD :rofl: celebrating Juan's victory like Floyd did it. Incredible
Floyd is going Broner :D
When JMM KO Pacquiao, it was as if I KO Pacquiao
-TBE
floyd thee best, floyd has no weakness pacturd!!
Proof that Fangirling exists in this world. :luvbed:
This is fanaticism to the highest level hahaha!
Floyd lover logic, 'Floyd has no weakness!' Lol
Maidana got hit with tons of punches to the body. So I guess that can't be noticed either right? Many jabs to the body, many power punches to the body. :rofl:
So now his skin tone is masking the lumps on his cheeks and brows? A minute ago you were just saying 'oh look at his face after the post fight'. And his face is minimally marked, didn't even need to wear sunglasses. :rofl:
Naaah, Floyd took more body shots. Not kidding here ;)
And it's true your boy's faced has been marked everywhere as I have said. ;)
Lol His skin tone is masking those lumps on his cheeks and brows. Not to mentioned the cut that cant even be noticed.
You know what else cant be noticed?
Those internal hemorage Floyd took from Maidana's body shots. Its internally bleeding from within the body. ;)

I would say his weakness is being crowded and swarmed, so he can't get his room to utilise his superior techniques, hence Maidana's success on the ropes over and over again...But yeah body shots would be the answer to bringng most fighters back down to earth and Floyd isn't so invincible anymore so I guess you are still right.
Like the old pros will tell you they would rather take a shot to the face than the liver, any time.
Yes, that is correct. And seeing how Maidana utilized it and used it to start his offense and that in effect dismantled Floyd's defense.

Your man absorb too many body shots.
Hence, the thread.
Now go back to reality and realize that being hit with a body shot ain't something to be proud about. Its actually very painful. ;)
Comprehension is lacking I see.
This is not about Maidana.
Secondly, take of your horse blinders. Your man absorb too much body shots. Even Floyd sr. Said he took too many shots.
It's all on video. I know it's hard to accept your man ain't invincible as a lot of flowmos want him to be. His been exposed. ;)
I'm being objective here. Yes the thread is not about Maidana but you are talking about the body shots that Maidana landed on Floyd??!?!! :repost:
And to those fan boys who don't know how fuvking painful it is to get hit by ripping body shots.
Try getting hit once by a pro boxer and come back.
By then you will know how much of an ordeal Floyd had to go through in the Maidana fight. ;)
Yes this is a Floyd weakness thread. But that's not really a weakness of his at all. Since Maidana couldn't land many shots to the head then it is only logical that he aim for the body.

For those dumb schmucks who think giving up your body is a skill.
Learn boxing 101 coz that's just an example of how dumb you guys are in here haha!
Yes this is a Floyd weakness thread. But that's not really a weakness of his at all. Since Maidana couldn't land many shots to the head then it is only logical that he aim for the body. If you throw 900 punches and your only target is the body then obviously Floyd is going to get hit there a lot. But with that being said, Did Floyd ever get hurt or knocked down from those body shots?:boxing:
Name a fighter that likes body shots?
Lol are you dumb??
Of course no one likes a body shot. Your suppose to stay away from it, but sadly your boy Floyd loves getting hit cleanly by it. ;)
