This guy trains like he's poor

Respect where it's due

A poor dude would not have 20 yes men watching him all day tending to his every qualm

floyd cant out point mannys volume punching. floyds notaggressive enough. just imagining an opponnent move that fast around floyd around floyd is gna make him hesitant to throw. nd if he does lol we know wherethis is going.

secondly imagine this scenario. manny feints his jab, floyd tried to pull counter to throw his right hand nd sticks his head out like he usually does to pull counter nd manny throws a left down the pipe. (ala maidana endof 3rd rd)

lastly, im glad all them crackheads in his camp will be shamed for all the shtt talking while free basing crack pipes they did about manny. time to show these crack rocks, bring the fight to they front door

Mannys volume punching in the air.Might give Floyd jr a cold.

When have you seen Floyd throw a pull counter vs a southpaw?

Well ain't that a bummer. if you are certain Floyd never did try throw a pull counter vs a southpaw means it is ineffective against it. Floyd did not practice or train for it or he don't know how to time it and when to use it against a southpaw.

if floyd is gonna do anything to pacquiao's jab it will be a counter with his own jab

Come on mate, when is the guy not training!?

That's what most of us knows.

But here comes the question if he is a gym rat and trains even between fights, why did he missed the 144lbs agreed catchweight against marquez.

did he really missed it or intentionally did not try to make the agreed catchweight?

if he did not intentionally missed it. is it not that at first weigh in and you missed the weight you are given time to lose those extra pound. why did not even try to lose a pound more so he could have paid marquez less.

My point. either Floyd is a gym rat and always take care of himself and train even between fight is a lie or he intentionally did not try to make 144lbs.

I think Floyd should have started two weeks ago. I know for both guys today was the official start of training camp but Manny has been training for the last three weeks in the Philippines. However, Floyd did look pretty sharp on the speed bag so he was probably doing light training already.

He was already doing light training for the past 4 months. Not a lot of cutting weight and simply worrying about strategy. #TrueChamp stuff.

You guys talking about volume punching ***128522;
Pacquiaos total punches didnt pass 800 in his last couple fights. Times with 1000 tital punches were at the exact same time he refused testing. Today it is more like 550-800.
against Algieri: 669
Rios: 790 (punchingbag)
Bradley 2: 563

Maidana threw about 1000 and much heavier punches and could win more than 3-4 rounds against a static on the rooes Floyd. If Floyd decidea to bix and move, this will be such a damn schooling missmatch.

No, it only means that he is fighting a southpaw.

It's not about Floyd, you do not counter a right jab with a pull counter because you'd be squaring up to your opponent straight left/left cross and give him a huge strategical/positional advantage.


It's mechanics, such a move is likely to get you sandwiched between the southpaw’s front foot and the ropes.

in short pull counter is not as effective against southpaw as it is against orthodox agree?

a pull counter right hand is thrown over the jab of your opponent but you cant throw a right hand over a southpaws jab, you throw a hook or a jab over it.

you also never pull away from a cross, thats boxing 101. floyd does counter straight left hands from southpaws but he does it by either parrying or slipping it and then throwing the right hand over the left.

all good fighters have to make adjustments when they face a lefty, fighting a southpaw the same as you would an orthodox fighter is just lacking versatility and intelligence.

he will likely lead less with his jab and use the pull counter with his jab over mannys jab. while throwing a lot more lead right hands which is very effective against a lefty.
