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

[elishua F]

re watch all floyd fights vs southpaws. .his whole style switches up. he doesn't do pull counters, he doesn't rely much on a shoulder roll.. he walks them all down in a high guard and breaks them down to the body. .floyd zapped judahs energy with body shots. .they need to stop trying to figure out the philly shell, they will not see it.

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.

It still works to a degree. Even if you don't touch the abdomen you can still touch his elbow to dissect the guard and setup stuff upstairs oh and btw mayweather got dropped while throwing the right to the body

Rumour has it Roach got the blue print from Oscar

When chicken Floyd fought Marcos Maidana 1st & 2nd , Maidana tricked the chicken with a 1-2 combinations. Maidana used this in several occasion and was successful in doing so. The Pacman can deliver a combination of 5 or 6 and sometimes seven punches. Chicken Floyd will be KO'd in the sixth round...6th Round...6th Round...6th Round.

Your posts are a complete vomit inducing. Have some respect for yourself, guy.

yes, floyd got timed for that one punch..but did that ever happen again the rest of the fight?.. you see thats what separates him from everybody. he adapts and makes adjustments on the fly. .did maidana suddenly stopped trying to do it? no he kept trying, but floyd made a slight change.. when he pulled counter, he would slip under maidanas counter right..and voila, problem solved

The "slight change" Mayweather made was more like running & pot-shotting, then grabbing and holding whenever Maidana got close. The audio is deleted in this vid, but it actually allows one to concentrate on the action.

And you do realise the point highlights the fact Pacquiao didn't take jack away from an opponent who hit him with his favourite punch over and over. Just saying.....

Marquez didn't mind taking 2-3 punches to land his, will Floyd? Marquez paid. Is Floyd willing to pay?

It is just not Floyd.

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 think he is eluding to the straight lead to the gut shot that Floyd delivers, it makes you reset your offense. No one speaks on it, they always elude to the straight lead right, but the gut shot sets everything up..

Ur right man..but Maidana prepared for that, when floyd shot that lead to the midsection, maidana pumped his jab..kept floyds str8 right at hone (maidana1)

i was waiting for someone to bring up oscar and his blue print LOL. if anything oscar got it from roach back when roach trained him for floyd. this is why oscar keeps running his mouth about how he has the blue print to beat floyd.
