    Bas Rutten: Pacquiao's Failure To Mix Up His Combos Against Floyd Cost Him The Fight

    Bas Rutten, former MMA fighter, now a coach and a big lifetime boxing fan on the Joe Rogan podcast here.. Just an interesting take, worth a read/listen:

    "That's what I teach a lot, double rights, double lefts. The fight that upset me a lot was Mayweather against Pacquiao. Mayweather is hanging against the ropes, Pacquiao unloading, but everything is left, right, left, right.

    Now take a Mike Tyson, suddenly he throws in a left uppercut, liver shot. Or a spleen right uppercut. Double right, double left. If you just throw left, right, left right, that's a predictable pattern. But if you mix it up and throw a variety, doubling up with the same arm, it's much more effective.

    Pacquiao didn't do it, he got paid 80 million dollars and didn't do it!"

    @ 1hr 10min



    I watch the occasional MMA fight, have done for years, but not too often. This whole discussion is very interesting though between two former MMA fighters so worth listening to the whole show from the beginning.

        Oh man, you're making me get all nostalgic remembering the flood of excuses that ensued.

        Best of all, it doesn't count because it was boring!

            F him...

            And who the hell is Bas Rutten???? Last time I checked, Manny out landed Floyd. So, this point is baseless. Furthermore, Vegas, the judges, and the ref cost Manny the fight. What you idiots fail to realize and give Manny credit for, is that he didn't have to throw 100 punches a round, against Floyd. Why????????? Because he is a better fighter than Floyd. He was also a champion in the fight. What about ring generalship? Clean effective punching? Effective aggressiveness? STFU! You all claim to know boxing but will not be honest about what happened May 2nd. Boxing is corrupt. How about that theory? F U Bas Rutten!

                This would not have helped at all. If Rutten was paying attention Mayweather was not using the shoulder roll, most of the time he was out of range, this doubling sht wouldn't have helped.

                  The big rally in the 4th was one landed shot and the rest misses arms and elbows , Floyd just covered up and was smiling at Manny , the trouble is Floyd is just too smart for Manny who really didnt know what to do , you are not beating a master chess player with checkers mentality .
