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

Yea the jab to the body

Used it beautifully late on vs Oscar to set up the right upstairs

Made a thread about jab to the body in training forum:

But I think he's talking about the counter right

I agree Jas, on both points.

The jab to the mid-section is his best punch, he will establish control and setup everything from there.

And I also agree that Roach is mostlik ely referring to the lead-right.

It's not the right hand or the left hook.

Roach is talking about the jab to the body. Mayweather makes guys wince with a hard jab to the body. He does it all the time, it gives time to breathe and think while being a relatively unsuspecting punch to throw especially because he's so fast he can even throw it while his hands are in a guard position and still catch you.

Imagine Floyd lowering to throw the jab to the body. Manny will come back with his unsuspecting punch. The right hook or a left uppercut.

Floyd meters you out with the jab and then leverages the right. Watch the shoulders to get his timing down. Floyd commits to the right and Manny leans to his right and shoots a straight left over Floyd's right and crushes him when he comes in; full leverage into the oncoming punch.

Roach why are you talking too much? just talk trash like Floyd sr, its like Roach is nervous.

Also Roach said he is not the same as when he fought Oscar? wtf he was slower when he fought Oscar, he is much faster now. that fight was at 154 at 147 Floyd is faster.

Roach said Floyds legs were gone 5 years ago as well. Roach thinks this is going to get in Floyds head. the one with legs shot is Pac, you see a vast drop in foot speed, he is more flat footed and plodding now.

Mayweather enters the ring at his best fighting weight, which is 150.

He does not put on weight to fight at 154.

His style/skill enables him to compete against larger opponents.

IF anything, he may have slowed a little, but not significantly at all imho.

Very little difference either way imho..... and, no big deal even if it was.

Much ado about nothing.

roach is mentally breaking down mayfeather piece by piece !!!!!!!!! mayfeather cant tell if roach is just goading him into throwing his favorite punch or if hes using reverse phycology !!!!!!!! either way i bet they are confused as helll right now and scared !!!!!!! but thats what you get when you have to match wits with the 7 time trainer of the year and your nothing but women beating alcoholicks !!!!!!!!

I'm sure you're right.

It is difficult to throw effectively, but Mayweather has great technique.

It amazes me how many guys on the forum are oblivious to the fact the jab to the body doesn't work well against the opposite stance. The angles are all wrong, the gab between the elbows is narrowed (as the punch comes from outside the lead elbow instead of straight up the middle against the same stance), the abdomen is angled away from the punch, and the counter over the top (lead hand) or up the middle (back hand) is far easier. Indeed, it is how Judah dropped Mayweather and subsequently Floyd abandoned the punch in that fight and generally hasn't used it vs southpaws anyway.

the straight left jab to the face of manny will arrive at the target quicker from the high guard

I keep smiling when people compare what Maidana could and couldn't do to Jr.
Watching Maidana fight is like watching someone in slow motion.
What Maidana couldn't do, Manny can do. What Maidana could do, Manny can do 10x faster. lol

Yes, you're so right, Manny will come is 15lbs heavier that Floyd, use his great jab to get inside and shove Mayweather around like Maidana,...... all that, while landing every punch he throws....although he missed a ton against Bradley, we all know Mayweather is much easier to hit.

[Calabis]

Yeah, Manny practiced a lot for that one. Timed it perfectly. LOl!!

Morales hit him with it in 2005



Marquez hit him with it a ton

Bradley hit him with it




Algeri hit him with it




Yet all of a sudden, the best lead right in the fight game, Pac has figured out in training camp......smh
