Mayweather Illegal defense

[Stuntman Mike]

As we discussed previously, these are the common illegal moves by mayweather illegal defense:

...
2. Use of elbows, shoulders or forearms.
...
13. Excessive holding the opponent or maintaining a clinch.

Also, he bends/ducks putting his head below the waist, which is illegal too.

This are his biggest weapons in terms of defense, when he gets against the ropes.

YET, he never gets warned or penalized.

Boxing is a joke of sport with these Refs not doing their jobs. Mayweather is not TBE, they just let him get away with everything just because he makes money.

Wheres your thread about Wladimir,What Mayweather does is miniscule in comparison

Even when people complain that the ref helps Mayweather....only Cortez did against Hatton

Wladimirs refs would let him bring in a baseball bat and still wouldn't even give him a warning let alone take a point away


Mayweather breaks the rules but he doesn't push it to extremes more than anybody would in his shoes,

Wladimirs whole fight gameplan is based around committing fouls,I mean heck the Jennings fight was the least amount of clinches he's had in recent times yet he still got deducted a point

You'd think Floyd would be pretty good at legal defences by now.

It's so frustrating man. Everything they teach you in a boxing gym is illegal to these dudes. Imagine the crossover dribble being illegal in basketball. Smh.

Been a week's worth of crying and moaning for you. Pretty wonderful to see.

Oh there you are. I've been waiting for you to join the fun. Below is your post in a thread entitled "Why did Floyd look so lost against Castillo?"

Here is your excuse .....

Yes because Floyd goes into every fight with a torn rotator cuff, AMIRITE?

Allen Iverson cheated.

He's not a hall of famer.

The crossover is illegal.

Actually its the Floyd fans who pretend they never seen Floyd do nothing illegal. Like Holyfield said, Floyd does it because the refs let him get away with all those tactics.

I called it prior to the fight what would happen. Manny would go in with his combos and Floyd will reach out and grab his arms and then hug. Then Kenny Bayless will break it up.

clinching isn't against the rules, excessive clinching is and i dont think floyd held excessively against manny. naturally people will disagree since its floyd we are talking about, at the end of the day there are fighters who hold a whole lot more than floyd and get away with it. its a common trend in boxing today unfortunately, as previously stated some clinching is part of the game but these days refs are much more lenient than they have been in the past. its not as if they are letting floyd alone get away with something, its a change in the way all fights are refereed.

the forearm thing is an old school move, like using your shoulders, putting your head on your opponents chest or maneuvering his head with your gloves it is a part of inside fighting when done with subtlety. doing it blatantly is a foul but watch any old school fight with lots of inside fighting and you would be hard pressed to not see a guy use his forearm to control the others head or maintain some space. this is very much part of boxing.

ducking beneath the waste, technically thats against the rules but it never gets called and frankly it shouldnt. the idea of someone losing points because his head strays an inch or two beneath his waste when ducking a few shots is ridiculous. OP acts as if floyd is running around with his head an inch from the canvas trying not to get hit. be for real.

Floyd is removing from view any visible target so it becomes illegal.

I gotta go but this is one explanation below.

You can't hold your opponent and hit him at the same time, or duck so low that your head is below your opponent's belt line.


here is a video that explains it why you shouldn't duck below the waist. He is saying similar to what I said.
