        To be able to figure out the distance of and from your opponent can be difficult. And to pull counter without worrying about getting caught is a classic.

        Pull Counter.....

            The thing I find awesome about these 2 examples is that Mayweather was able to 'see' or sense which punch his opponent was going to come back with - all from a mere jab! That's some serious reflex action.

            So against Marquez he somehow knew to slip to his left and underneath the straight right, whereas for Mosley he instead slipped to the right and under the left hook. All in the blink of an eye! Incredible, astonishing and marvellous.

            He's a gifted man in the ring, but totally has a screw loose otherwise. :laff2:

              How many greats have you seen with a pullcounter like Floyd's?

              Ali.

              That's it.

              You have to be a special fighter to be able to pull off a perfect pullcounter.

                  Pull counter is better looking, but i gotta give it to cotto's hook to the body because its the more damaging blow, IMO

                      The pull-counter imo is a better signature move, it's more impressive and harder to pull off.

                      It looks choreographed sometimes.

                      Crazy.
