Floyd's Tactics

he tried early and was succesful but hard pot shots was the key for him.

He tried a few times to throw the lead left hand to the body, which he had success with. Then Manny caught on and starting countering with a short right hook.

Anybody surprised...... that Mayweather didnt go to the body more? I didnt think Mayweather would get a KO but i thought he could in the later rounds if wore Pacquiao down. He kinda neglected the body work, was hoping to see more since pac dont like it to the body. yea i hear what your saying but to be honest his right straight waa working a treat, so maybe he felt he didnt need to use it... what really impressed me was the way floyd used his reach advantage not just with his fists but with his feet too, i thought floyds stance with his left leg really made it hard for manny to try and get close... im still in awe after his performance, was awesome honestly...

Floyd wasn't going to mess around if he didn't have to, he was able to employ the effective big man strategy. going to the body is nice but there are risks it brings into play that don't come from keeping a guy out of range. If Manny was able to get in his range a bit more, I do think Floyd would have made him pay to the body but it never got to that point.

I expected him to mix it up more. But Pac had no clue how to close range or cut the ring off so he stuck with what was working. I also credit Pac. I think he got Floyd's respect in the 4th.
