Why doesnt the over hand right from the sky beat Floyd Mayweather?

[Michael Hall]

Marquez landed those two right hands because Floyd was rusty. Floyd waited too long on Marquez to make a move and got caught before he could slide to his left wich was marquez's right. Remember after the second right hand he didn't land another. Just ring rust thats all it was. Floyd will not and I repeat will not make that mistake against Mosley. He will stay in the middle of the ring. He also will be sharper for this fight.

You know what time it is.

That first right hand Marquez landed was HELLACIOUS! A few rounds later Marquez tried to land it again, but Floyd was better prepared for it and actually landed a counter shot of his own.

After that Marquez's entire offensive arsenal was stripped away and removed from the fight.

gotta pop floyd w/ the hook to the shoulder or an uppercut when he's ducking to straighten him up then come w/ the right hand.

I advise you to double and triple up on the hooks so while floyd is thinking about the left hooks, he won't see the right hand coming.

[Michael Hall]

Well he does get caught twice before he made that adjustment.
1:07 and 8:07





Mayweather doesn't make the same mistake again. It's easy to tell Floyd is thinking about it

2:16

good observation!

Remember though in the first right hand Marquez caught him with Floyd caught him with a hard hook in the seconds before. Shows how fast Floyd is with his counters that he countered a shot before it even landed.

You know you're good when people have to point to a single punch or two as evidence that you can be hit.

Very very true.

Think about it?.. Floyd does all the razzle dazzle bullcr*p with his shoulder roll and danceing and cr*p.. why the hell dont fighters just rip the left hook to the body(yes Floyd will block) and then over hand right his face/head.

Did you see in the video that Shane was training using the overhand right.

because its the punch floyd sees most easily, evades most easily and counters best?

because its a punch that has virtually no chance of landing meanwhile leaving u open to get countered with everything but the time keepers bell?

floyd could..

- block the hook then throw a short right uppercut. meanwhile blocking your right with his left hand

- roll the right and counter with a right uppercut/straight right hand

- weave/duck the overhand right and throw a liver shot.

- go under and over

- beat u to the punch with a jab, then throw a straight right

and so on, the options are endless. the right hand is the punch most easy to counter, a overhand is the slowest way to get to the target with your right hand. fighters who keep their left hand low at the top level are mainly focusing on their oponents right bcuz it it the easiet punch to counter, holding the left low to encourage them to throw it.

if u are gonna throw a right to floyd its gonna be eighter straight to the heart/solar plexus area or around the elbow to the rib cage. dont throw that right to his head, he will beat your ass. use the jab to the head, hook of it to the head or throw a hook to the head behind a right hand bodyshot. dont throw right hands to the head, especially not looping right hands.

why don't defenders just stay in front lebron
easier said than done buddy

I think that part of the reason is that with the rolling he can really set you up if you are not the one landing clean. That's why you don't see it that often.

I hear you, but Floyd seems to be susceptible to looping or arched right hands to the head. He does get hit with them at times, more than with any other head shot I would say. In particulat I can't remember a straight right landing.
