Comments Thread For: Garcia Plans For Speed: Mayweather Not That Strong

[Teetotaler]

Saying Floyd has no power makes you look worse; how do you let a guy with no power beat you especially when he didn't move against you.

Not really its boxing. Mayweather win off points not ko's

Better work for endurance and stamina, avoiding body shots, and working behind the jab.. Those will be the keys to victory for Maidana, not being quicker than floyd

While all of that is true, speed does still help. He doesn't have to be quicker than Floyd but just quick enough to land his shots and get out of the way.

True, I just wouldn't make speed the focus of my camp.. It wasn't the speed difference that caused Maidana to lose, it was his 2nd half fade in the fight..

I would be zeroing in on work rate and endurance to keep it up thru 12 rds

[B]I agree. The left uppercut. He's always leaning to that side.

Easier said than done. "He's always leaning to that side", why? because there was no left uppercut from Maidana. Common sense. If there were left uppercuts, would May still "leans to that side"? No. he would adjust and use another tact.

And he's not in range to hit with an uppercut, at all.

In so many eyes Maidana won. So what are you saying again?

That fight was incunclisive hence the rematch lol

All this Chino should do this and that BS. .....Y'all talking like Robert had a plan the first fight but it went south. Now he's going to use speed as if Floyd is an old man. GTFOOH. ..... There's no one in the sport that can match Floyd's conditioning even with these so called conditioning coaches. I guess people want Floyd to lose so bad they are reaching for anything advantage in this next fight. First it's the gloves, next it'll be the ring size, y'all probably want Floyd to spot Chino 3-4 rds before the fight starts. If any of y'all watched the fight all the things besides the head butt didn't work. Why??????? Floyd's skill level is off the charts and Garcia knows it. They are in it for the money and notoriety. I see Floyd making a fool out of Chino and Robert this next fight. You never know what you'll get when your dealing with the TBE!!!!!!!!!!

[Nomadic]

Without the weight, he won't be able to bully and hold MW against the ropes like he did in the first fight.

good plan robert, because maidana is super fast and quick right? even if maidana came in lighter than before he is still 4-5 steps behind floyd.

man i think everyone knows what it means when a fighter says so and so doesnt really have much power. they're not saying he has NO power at all, but for someone who competes in boxing and has been hit by many different fighters, they can tell when someone can punch and cant but that doesnt mean that person has no power at all, it just means that person is not a heavy puncher.
