watch freddie norwood vs. juan manuel marquez If bradley can execute that kind of a gameplan stylistically it will be a hard match up for pacquaio because he cant just lunge in when every time he does hes countered with a right hand. Its all about maintaining that slow pace so u can see clearly everytime pacquaio launches his attack
i didnt see anything to special.. he had some flashhy speed at some points but left himself open alot, not to much skills there.. all flash little substance
1- round of nerves nothing to significant happens
2-4 this is where victor has some moments
round 5 and on is dominated by floyd
8th or 9th round tko for floyd
I hear you, but what I say to you is that the reason not just Mayweather, but all boxers are using this quote "protect yourself at all times" is not because Mayweather said it. I said it when i saw it live as I'm sure most people who box did. Its because as fighters we know this is a rule of thumb that is ingrained in us from the start. He caught Ortiz slipping, its that plain and simple. This is war not time to hug, you should never trust your enemy. Ok, maybe ill give you the fact that an argument can be made that the first punch isn't Ortiz's fault. But the second one? Definitely is, if someone punches you, you don't turn to the ref leaving yourself exposed right after combat has started. That is a rule of thumb, in my early days fighting my trainer would shout things from the corner during a spar and id look over at him, he'd yell at me to never ever take your eyes off your opponent. Same thing should be told to Ortiz, in the mist of battle, and after the first shot, battle is on, Ortiz should be aware of that, never take your eyes off your opponent while relaxing your guard. He caught Ortiz slipping, its Ortiz's fault, Mayweather took advantage. Can we fault Mayweather for that? In my opinion no, can we say some people with more honor would have? probably not, but does that mean its right or wrong. Nope, it just is. You really have to have boxed to understand fully or make it easier to understand imo.
i dont think he has anything to worry about selling, hes made the most money in the sport. Controversy sells, but hey some people are going to hate, im sure he gained some fans aswell.
to quote the great roger mayweather "you don't know **** bout boxin" lol seriously what u said clearly indicates u dont know wtf you are talking about and pulled that out of your behind.
No one expected him to dismantle Oscar and KO Hatton with 1 shot in less than 5 minutes. No one expected Pacquiao to dominate Cotto and even KD him twice one with his right hand.
If Pac beats Mayweather in a 1 sided fight + a KO what would you Feel?
Actually i expected him to do all of those things.. Floyd tho is a different fight completly n i wud b very surprised if floyd cant keep him at bay boxing like marquez did.
Ahhh shut up.
Cotto ran like a woman from the 5th on. He's done.
Fuk u moehoward.. Id like to see you stand in there and take that beating.. Real boxers should have the utmost respect for hos performance, he stayed in yhere like a true warrior when his corner wanted to stop the fight. He showed heart and if you didnt see that i have no respect for you. Manny just had his number, miguel couldnt have done anything different, thats just how physics played out, Manny is just to crazy but cotto is still bad ass fuk all u haters who cant appreciate a fighter who had tremendous heart and put his body on the line.
Yo u r not so perceptive is thr nicest way to put it... Mayweather loves training and always is, he always says he can get better iand to be honest helll fukong yes hes improvng with each fight, his last one was basically perfect. I dont see him beatin marquez the way he did back when they were both lighter q few yrs ago.. Dont hate man the guy strives to be the best, he has a tremendous ego which is the energy that fuels him to continue to try and be the best, pac does it for the country sure for himself but i dont think as much as mayweather and thats the most important thing to do it for.. It seems like he wants to please his "master" the most.. He even called himself just an ordinary fighter at the press conference cuz hes ben humbled to much with his defeats.. Catch mayweather saying that wont happen. You need that fake ego fpr motivation, sure u can have other things, but thats wat counts the most, and will cause one to try and jmprove like mayweather is.
i have no idea if he is or isnt, but i will say one thing that makes me think... imagine if when roy jones jr. moved up to heavyweight he suddenly had the power of mike tyson. I like that comparison because its just seems very illogical for someone to move up and then dominate with such power in that weight class, against someone like cotto hatton and oscar 3 people who have substantial power.
my theory is that the human body is amazing, and it can adapt to whatever situation/enviroment
there are bugs in this world that have evolved themselves to look like plants in order to camoflauge themselves against predators
an octopus can literally morph into the same colors of its surroundings and blend right in

humans are the same in the sense that we can adapt to things. for example, if you get hit constantly, eventually you will be able to adapt and take shots better. its already been proven that our bones re-calcify and become stronger whenever we cause trauma to them. kickboxers in thailand can kick bamboo trees and not feel a thing, because they have conditioned their shins over many years. but if a regular person kicked a tree, that would wither in pain. our bones rebuild themselves harder and better than the last time...that is why certain people can break bricks/blocks of ice, etc. with their hands and not get hurt ...its from years of training and conditioning their hands
my theory is that your chin can become more conditioned to take hits better over the years. so yes, i think you can improve your chin.
theres a reason why a pro boxer can take a punch square in the face and a regular person cant. punch a regular person in the face and they will fall down like a girl and complain about their nose bleeding (or get KTFO) ...a boxer will take it though. i dont buy that bullshit about being "born" with a chin..certain people may be born with slightly harder heads but the difference is very small. it all depends on your heart/conditioning
for further proof, just look at mmgay. those guys get KTFO on a regular basis. ive seen NUMEROUS fights that lasted 7, 6, 8 seconds etc. sometimes these guys go down on the first jab. that would NEVER happen to a boxer though. why? because a boxer has done hundreds, if not thousands of more rounds sparring and his chin is far better conditioned than the mmgay fighters chin
thank you man
Stupid. Their's no such thing as building your chin. Maybe building your confidence to take a shot because a lot of people when they get hit clean, kills their confidence and takes them out of the, but the more shots you take could build confidence, but it sure as hell don't build your chin. That's impossible. It's just stupid putting yourself at more risk to take more punches then you have to and then get KTFO.
no need 2 call me stupid, im just starting and curious. Who knows i thought maybe its like dulling the nerves in your knuckles or something like that where if u constantly hit it, the area heals up and is stronger.. And maybe you missread the question. Im not taking hits and putting myself at risk on purpose.. I just wanted 2 kno if its benifiting me to be in these wars and making me stronger or if u just have a certain amount of them u can be in and then ur a shot fighter.
If you have a weak chin i don't think you could do anything about it.
Thats not my question, and i myself have never been hurt in a fight and have taken everything they had 2 give. My question is, is this taking something out of me or building me up?
your fuking retarded man.. dont make threads with this bs u no dam well its dif situation and no1 is saying manny is def on them so just be quiet dam.. wtf do u do wit ur life but think up these bull shit wierd ideas 2 try n make floyd n his fans look bad get a quick hard on from the thought have a go pass out and then wake up all excited to make a thread about it only so u can have another go at the responses fall asleep wake up and start the whole process over again. Get a life and get the fuk outa here wit this bullshit.. dam cant ppl just talk actual boxing..
stop hating, god u guys wit ur flomos and pactards r so silly and stupid.. Mosley fought the real cotto, n who was more emotionally hurt cotto or margarito from their fight? the dude who got hit wit fukin bricks.. so word, mosley beat damaged goods in marg and pac beat the damage goods in cotto... U need 2 put on gloves b4 u start bitchin, i can aready tell a hater like u has never been inside the ring. btw, ur the bitch not floyd.
