[doobear]

Yeah 100 percent hell use high guard cause of mannys right hook. Pull counters work surprisingly well against south paws. I've noticed mayweather doesn't rely on the pull counter with fighters with good jabs (dlh, cotto, Canelo actually neutralized it) but against jmm mosley baldomir he used it to perfection, pacquiao doesn't have a good jab but he'll have to figure out an escape route against a southpaw stance, maybe he can just smother it after he throws it like he did against Judah or roll to his left under pacs right hook.

I don't think it would be smart for Mayweather to duck under Pacquiao's right hook unless he's severely reaching because it's weird ducking under a shorter fighter.

He doesn't jab to the body against southpaws but I think it'll be open against Manny. He has a lot to work with using that 6 inch reach advantage.

He's talking about the pull counter.

Maidana figured it out. When Floyd shows you the open face, you have to throw a 1-2 and duck under on the 2. That's how he hurt Mayweather.

With Manny it'll probably be coming in low with a lead left and doubling up on it.

He is NOT talking about the pull counter. Since when is the pull counter Floyd's favorite punch?

It's the straight right and he's hoping Manny can time it or counter off it like Guerrero was able to do early on their fight.

Freddie needs to watch that fight a little closer and see how Floyd adjusted and was landing the lead right at will after a few adjustments.

Doesn't matter what they do. Floyd will adjust.

He used it against Mosley, too.

It's a fight. Protect yourself. If you let your guard down, you damn well deserve to pay for it.

Spot on. What are these guys talking about? It's a fight. Fight dammit, be friends later. I don't wanna see a nice fight, I wanna see a mean, ass-kicking fight.

[BoxingIsGreat]

You do realise Floyd didn't knock out Pacquiao.

Yes, but a much less fighter did. We know.

[Dan Gutierrez]

Chicken Floyd's favorite punch is hitting his opponent when their hands are down like what he did to Ortiz. Chicken Floyd won't do that to Manny Pacquiao. He knows it very well that every punch he throws to the Pacman, the Pacman will hit him back at least six or seven times. You will notice how well behave chiken Floyd was during the face off with Manny Pacquiao. Normally chicken Floyd will hit or shove his opponents during face off...but not with the great Manny Pacquiao.

[raymosr]

wth are u talking about??? so roger going into the ring during the floyd vs judah fight is acceptable?

Was Judah blatant punch to the nutz acceptable dichead?

[raymosr]

Yes, but a much less fighter did. We know.

He didn't behave nice because he's scared dude, he behaved nice because Mannys probably the nicest fighter that there ever was, he does absolutely no trash talking only Roach does that. Most fighters are loud mouths who talk smack to one another. Put two smack talkers face to face you'll get action and that's entertainment. Put one smack talker face to face with a genuinely nice person and you get an awkward confrontation and makes the smack talker looks like a douche. Go look at any video where Floyd pushes his opponent in a press conference. His opponent is getting in his face trying to psych Floyd out so Floyd talks smack back and they shove each other. Manny doesn't use those tactics.
