Comments Thread For: Roach Hopes Mayweather Uses His 'Favorite Punch'

[TheRoger]

I mean his style, man. Floyd has snappy punches but doesn't throw rocks like marquez, he tries to box on the retreat. Marquez comes forward tossing bombs, and is a brawler. totally different.

his favoirte punch is the straight right. a punch that manny will have a hard time defending against. im guessing hes gonna try to get manny to counter it. tough task for the smaller fighter. if he does manage to figure it out, that be some amazing stuff.

What Is even going to be more amazing Is If Floyd finds a way to eliminate Pacquiao's straight left that every other opponent eventually got caught with. I see Floyd eating a lot of those before he figures It out. I should say If he figures It out.

Roach is trying hard to get into Floyds head. If anyody can do it Pac is it.

every punch that mayweather throws is his favorite. depending on the style of the opponent is when he uses whatever is effective. mayweather has one of the best rythm breaker jabs and the straight right is the southpaws achilles heel.when he starts walking the pacman down. its over.

Trainer Freddie Roach has effectively locked down the Wild Card Boxing Club when he and Manny Pacquiao are going through strategy on the mitts or during sparring sessions as they prepare for the May 2nd bout versus Floyd Mayweather. For this fight they have a very detailed game plan versus the sophisticated style they will be facing.

Roach is full of himself He's acting like he's the one fighting and has all the answers to everything.


What a tool .......

Why the hell didn't Steve Kim simply ask Roach what he mean by Mayweather's favorite punch instead of speculating. This crappy blog post is a waste of a minute of my time. I am sure Mayweather will use his favorite punch the entire fight and will connect with it regularly.

I just dont think Manny has the ability to make adjustments himself without the help of Roach who rly just says nonsense in the corner, never switches the game plan up.

mannys intelligence doesnt allow him to make adjustments on the fly. If he cant pull floyd into a fight then hes gna forget to cut the ring off, slap his gloves and get mad. Hell if Algieri jabbed more with authority he couodve circled left that entire damn fight without a problem.

Mannys get^ing worked well see the level difference on may 2nd

wow roach is so obviously nervous

Freddie is going to blow a gasket , he always goes on how Manny is going to stop everybody but this time you can tell Freddie is shting his pants .

yea, pac throws punches at angles, but his punches are usually straight lefts and hooks. really people dont realize how perfect pac needs to be for this fight. his fighting style has many caveats but him landing effecively isnt gonna be nearly as easy as ppl think.

Yup, like I just said, Pac will need to be accurate to be effective.

[aboutfkntime]

Mayweathers most dangerous punch must be his left hook. Best left hook ever.

I think its that jab to the mid-section.

If he gets that jab working perfectly he will completely take the fight away from you, because his gameplan revolves around controlling the distance and timing.
