The Reason Garcia is Complaining About Mayweather's Elbow

[TintaBoricua]

using an elbow/forearm on the opponents chest to create distance is not illegal. Stuffing them in an opponents' face is.

Precisely. ^^^^

You can't use your elbow... come on guys... how fanboyish can you be?

According to the rules of boxing:


Rule # 2. You cannot hit with your head, shoulder, forearm, or elbow.

Someone show me 1 time where Mayweather hit with his forearm or elbow.

Then someone show me in the rules of boxing where it's illegal to block with your elbows and use your elbows as a means of separation??

According to the Unified Rules of Boxing, someone show me where it's illegal in any state or by any commission for a fighter to use his elbow as a means separation or to block punches. It's illegal to use the elbow or forearm to strike an opponent, yes. But not as a means of defense or separation.

Danny Garcia knows Victor's best combination is the overhand right followed by the uppercut. He knows that combo is almost impossible to land on Mayweather because of Mayweathers perfectly legal use of the elbow.

We already established you can't hit with the elbow or forearm. That's illegal.

But Mayweather doesn't hit with his elbow or forearm. He uses it as a means of separation and defense to block right hands and uppercuts. If he does strike with his elbow or forearm, he is warned by the referee and justifyably so.

How fanboyishly blind can you be??? Floyd has turned his hips into the direction he swings that elbow countless times. If thats not a strike I dont know what is.
