Tricks Mayweather does that no one notices Part 2

[IMDAZED]

Pac was 137 years old when he fought him!!

I don't know how old he was but he got his ass whooped

Great back and forth in that movie. They need a Part II

[taken250]

Do a thread then

Maybe I will

[Raonic]

If he fights a young guy his haters say "he fought a guy with little experience." If he fights a guy around his age and experience level they say "he was past his prime."

Haters are a funny bunch.

Your examples don't actually capture what people want, which is to fight a guy in his prime. Fighting a young guy or fighting an old guy is exactly that, which is not fighting someone in his prime.

Lol that jab to the body right hand combo was in my first post

It was? It didn't seem like you specified the jab to the body but if you did then I apologize. Didn't mean to steal your trick.

The way he successfully places his left shoulder in his opponent's face, getting under them whilst working the midsection with short right uppercuts, usually people miss that. Mayweather is such a difficult target to hit up close.

Lol ofcourse hes a difficult target to hit when he ducks below the waistline and only showing you the back of his head. What hes doing there is technically illegal.

This thread was just asking to be trolled

Hi guys this is the Part 2 of the Mayweather tricks I posted a while back. These aren't certain moves people neglected to see kn his arcenal

1. Inside shovel hook
This is a move Floyd just start previously doing that when he attempted it ...it worked. Maybe this is a move Floyd Mayweather practiced or just came up with on the fly, but it still works. The first time I seen Floyd attempt this was against Maidana in the second fight. It was later in the match when Floyd Sr kept telling Floyd Jr to dig deep or just straight out attack his body. Floyd Mayweather used this to great success for a brief period.

Then it came in when Mayweather attempted this move on Maidana. After being broke up from the ref..... Maidana came after Mayweather. Mayweather looking vulnerable, backed up in a straight line with his hands held high. As Maidana attempted to jab at Mayweathers guard, it seemed to be another trap Mayweather planned was sprung. As he jabbed, Mayweather straightened out his legs and slipped to his left and delivered a big left hook to the solar plexus.That got Maidana thinking twice after that. He also did this move on Berto in the 11th round. Which still worked go watch the fights for yourself

2. Punch smother. This move pretty self explanatory and most of you guys probably already knew this but im guessing alot still dont. You'll see Floyd attempt this on numerous occasions on his sparring partners. You'll see Floyd tagging his opponents with hard straight right leads or left hooks only then to purposely fall into them while using the heel of his gloves to push his opponents head back to prevent them from countering. This moves turns out work really well since makes you're opponent of balance to throw a punch with his head back. Lol watch Ricky Hatton fight for pointer

3. Two armed punching. This move is simple yet soooo effective. This is a move Floyd practices alot and uses it on most occasions. Youll occasionally see people like Mayweather or Ward attempt this move by jabbing with their left hand and hooking with their right hand

See the way it works you occupy the opponents guard with soft jabs to finish with a short right to the body. This move is very useful for people who attempt to lean back alot in a fight since their body is still there to be hit. Youll see him do this on more fighters than others. He did this move to Ricky Hatton alot. He also performed it a couple of times against Marquez

Alright those are the tricks

Anything you noticed he does?

Ali also had a great punch smothering move. I think we can safely say that floyd has mastered his craft.

[taken250]

Definitely

[Bigg Rigg]

So he hits and grabs right away before he can get countered. Cool. TBE! Lol seeing him move and fight his way outta tough spots makes me respect him. Not that grabbing ****.

[Calabis]

I just countered all of those arguments

Its been going on for years, but apparently Mayweather is the only one to ever do it:

"Thomas Hearns loved Reyes gloves," recalls Emanual Steward, who trained and managed Hearns through most of the fighter's career. "But puncher's gloves are harder on the hands too. When Thomas started having hand problems, I insisted on a clause in all his fight contracts stipulating that the fighters wear Everlast gloves."

Before the first fight between Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales, Barrera wanted to wear Reyes gloves while Morales voiced a preference for Winning. Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Marc Ratner decreed that the issue would be resolved by a coin toss. Barrera said that was fine with him but, if he lost the toss, he wouldn't fight. The coin turned his way, so the issue became moot. Nevada now allows fighters to wear different-brand gloves as long as they're on the state's approved list (which includes Everlast, Grant, Winning, and Reyes).

One year later, Barrera found himself emeshed in another glove controversy when he fought Naseem Hamed. The contracts called for both boxers to wear Reyes gloves. The Nevada commission had agreed to requests that Hamed be allowed to wear green and Barrera yellow. Then, at the weigh-in, Barrera chose a pair of yellow gloves for himself. But Hamed had first choice under the contract and, changing his color preference, decided that the pair chosen by Barrera was the one he wanted. Thereafter, the situation degenerated into chaos. Two hours before the fight, the gloves still hadn't been chosen. Mark Ratner brought six pairs of red Reyes gloves to Hamed's dressing room. Naseem tried on each pair and pronounced them all unsatisfactory. Three more pairs were presented. Finally, after examining each glove, Hamed choose a pair. Then Ratner journeyed to Barrera's dressing room, where Marco Antonio's hands were being taped. Ratner set the remaining eight pairs of gloves on a table. One of Barrera's seconds walked over and, without looking twice, pointed to a pair at random.

Ultimately, Ali would play a role in the elimination of horsehair from most gloves. According to George Horowitz, Ben Nadorf (then president of Everlast) attended Ali-Frazier III in Manila and was mortified by the fact that, as the fight wore on, the fighters' gloves (manufactured by Everlast) began to lose their shape in the heat and high humidity. Thereafter, Nadorf decreed, horsehair would no longer be used in Everlast gloves. Everlast's padding now consists of a mixture of poly foam, latex foam and PVC foam.
