Martinez's fighting style vs. Floy's

[baracuda]

martinez's style = exciting.......floyd's style = boring.....simple as that!

[$partacus]

Different styles, Martinez has an in and out style, Mayweather is a counter puncher. Neither style is running.

You're calling Sergio a Safety first fighter because he's staying on the outside?

That's not being a safety first fighter, that's good strategy against a taller more powerful guy that has 11 lbs on you. Even then Martinez was taking big risks trying to land with his left and got caught several times with a big right hook.

Go watch Martinez-Williams and then come back and tell me that Martinez and Floyd have similar styles.

Him and Floyd fight NOTHING alike. Thank god for that.

martinez fought tht way against williams because he was pressured. are u reading what i wrote at all??? they fight differently, but they fight with the same principle. deal damage without getting hit.thats a safety first fighter. martinez has less skill so he cant do it as well as floyd so its easier to force him to take risks.

martinez has balls to let his hands go....he takes one just to give 3.....floyd does'nt...different style, different qualities to floyd......floyd is jut safety first , second and third kindafighter, the boy does'nt have balls!

How the hell is Martinez a safety first fighter when he takes so many risks and ends up taking punishment because of those risks he takes?

Your logic does not add up.

Evasiveness does not = safety first fighter.

ok first i wanna start by sayin no troll thread. i love boxing, i love different styles from manny's brawling foot work to winky's come forward peek a boo/jab style.

yet i find ppl on here call other fighters runners. why is it on here ppl consider mayweather a runner whilst martinez, who fights quite similar, is glorified???i dont get it. sure martinez stopped running in the later rounds tonite, but thats because he got tired. he's not a combo puncher like that, he throws a basic 1-2 combo but he does a lot of potshotting as well. i like both fighters styles but how is one running and the other isnt??

They always call black fighters runners when they use that style.but when somebody else uses that style its called good "boxing"

[[ DUBBZZ ]]

Mayweather fights off the backfoot and potshots.

Martinez takes RISKS, throws COMBINATIONs, and is not afraid to mix it up if he has to.

3 things that Mayweather totally lacked in his recent fight.

Exactly. Floyd used to do that, but now he's strictly a "safety first" fighter.

exactly.. then the clown says " deal damage without getting hit ".. Jesus.. he just described 97% of the fighters in the world!..


Get real. Safety first is refusing to engage unless your opponent has opened up. Martinez often times engages FIRST. Which means he's coming out of HIS shell (safety) first. Safety first is not throwing until your opponent misses, or you've got the right angle, pivot, etc, anything that can be considered a counter.

Baldimor Pressured Floyd, did floyd sit there and fight? So the logic to why Sergio fought with Williams is skewed.

STFU you clown.Floyd fights in a way to not get hit you idiot.Its not running if you trying to avoid getting hit.If a fighter throws combination's and your flat footed you might get caught with something.

That's true whether anybody admits it or not.
