    Start at the 9:25-10:31 min mark. I rest my case.

    Virgil Hunter is probably the best trainer in the sport. Very underrated. This is exactly what you need to do as a taller fighter fighting a short fighter. Make your reach count and nullify the shorter guy's offense. As Virgil pointed out, the opponent has to pass through or around your "first line of defense" to get to you. At the 10:20-10:31 min mark, the shorter fighter is going to constantly try to get on the inside of your lead foot and constantly try to sail around/under your lead hand/First-Line-of-defense to get his lead foot inside of your lead foot to set up a straight left hand through the middle, but all you have to do is keep your lead hand targeted/pinpointed at his face and turn with him, he must get bypass your lead hand to set up his offense.


    With the lead hand down by your waist, there's nothing stopping the shorter fighter from easily walking through you with a 1-2 attack or throw a right hook over the top of your left shoulder. All the opponent wants do is find the right side of your face/body to hit, it's up to you to turn with him and make get through your first line of defense.


    Make your right side as invisible/unavailable to reach as possible by moving the opposite angle when your opponent wants to try to move to your right side. He'll constantly move to your right to try to bypass the lead hand, you just have to move to his left with the lead hand pointing at his frontal vision. You'll constantly reset his forward aggression doing this simple tactic. He's not going to be able to get anything done offensively. He'll get frustrated and constantly jump in with wild flurries, and that's when you need to make that lead hand count as a defensive shield and use it to anticipate/measure him on the way in and make him jump into left hook or straight right meeting him on the way in.

        MGM will bring the fighters more revenue than Jerry Jones stadium would.

            The problem here ...Floyd is NOT that much taller than Pac...even with the pumps he wears to Heat games...check out those soles..gotta be a 2 inch.....Algeiri was much taller....so that game plan could have worked with a better fighter...but once again, Floyd is NOT that much different in height...

                  Same reason why Most gates at the MGM with Floyd have been larger than, for example, pac clotty at texas stadium or Canelo/ whoever in San Antonio. It's simple math.

                  If I sell 15k seats at $5 per seat that's $75,000. If I sell 200 seats at $1,500 that's $300k.

                  The inability to view the fight clearly would drive the costs of seats down dramatically in Texas Stadium. I mean, how much would you pay for a seat (factor in travel, lodging, parking, concessions) that requires you to watch the same HD video feed you would at home?

                      Chalk it up to ramblings of a Floyd sycophant...They cannot even admit simple math when it comes to disagreeing with their GOD....
