Over the past several years, I've learned a lot about the "sport" of boxing. With the social media boom, negotiations for these fights are made available 24/7 365.
As social media and technology becomes more advanced, fighters have to be more creative with their ducking. It's no longer as simple as dumping your belt into a garbage can. Now, you got to step your game up to keep the fans on your side. Here are some cool ducking tactics I've learned:
1. The price out - the oldest trick in the book. I'll fight anyone, anytime, anywhere....... For $10 million. Santa Cruz perfected this method which is now being utilized by Walters.
2. The reverse maneuver- this one is interesting... You claim your being ducked by any and everybody. So in return, you fight bums while you protect your undefeated record, hoping to land that mega payday.
3. The Adonis Method - this one is tricky but if used correctly, it can be effective in avoiding the best fighters and fighting bums for big money. Here, you call out a fighter, get them to agree to fight, then suddenly sign with a rival network or promoter to block the fight from ever happening. Really advanced method of Ducking.
4. The sleeping pill - we're all fans. Deep inside we all want exciting fights. Knowing this, you can use this strategy for more effective ducks. You label your rival a boring fighter as a means to take an easier fight and protect your record in hopes of landing that cash out.
5. The Catch-Weight - Catchweights have their time and place. But they can also be used for more effective ducks. In this instance, you say you will fight anyone anywhere, but demand a weight that you will know they will never agree to.
6. The Waiting Game Pretty straight forward. Here, you stay silent, wait until your rival or rivals all have fights lined up, then call them out and fight a bum because everybody already had dates lined up. This method can be used effectively with the reverse maneuver.
7. the old fashion - if the meanest, toughest dude kn your division is breathing down your neck, just simply come out and say he's not a big enough name and the fight needs time to build. In the meantime, take interim fights in between and stack that bread.
There are several more ducking maneuvers I haven't covered. But these were the few that caught my eye.
And this thread is for entertainment purposes only. I'm well aware that fighters are warriors, promoters do the ducking, blah, blah blah.
