Can Floyd role out of the rib shots ?

[F.O.S]

I ask if Floyd can roll out of the shots to the ribs, like he can role out of the head shots when he drops his right shoulder ?

I am sure Hatton will use the tactic that Calzaghe has used in a lot of his recent fights, by concentrating on the body shots for a big part of the early rounds.

Hatton has the power and physique to fight inside, Floyd has the feet to get the hell out of there. But Floyd will have to attack at some time, this will give Hatton his oppurtunity to get in close and hurt PFB's ribs.

Do you think he can roll out of the ribs shots ?

Please remember this thread Dec 9th.

All bodyshots hit his arms.
The only way to get to his ribcage is to make him protect upstairs.

How do you make him protect upstairs?

That's the question.

id just keep hitting him to the torso constantly hitting arms or not, there gonna slow him down in the end, whether he can keep it up is another thing tho.

Yeah sure there are ways to do it.
I mean you get hit you get hit but there are ways to roll with it and take less damage from it.
+ he might just pull an Ali and let Hatton have his ribs and protect his chin, no telling.

Obviously i didnt mean SOLEY body shots, i know he will have to mix it up, but i think his gameplan will be to attack the ribs, a lot of boxers drop the head guard when they feel the rib shot. Remember Calzaghe beat Kessler imo with one good rib shot (round 5 or 6?) that totally shocked Kessler.

Them rib shots are just so painful.

NO, for Hatton losing thats why.

Why do you need to laugh at the thread starter then?
