Can the "slick" style be beaten?

[Gunny Hartman]

Slick style? You tell me what the **** is a slick style you little pile of human feces.


Slick? I'll show you slick. I will slickly choke you until you ****ing pass out and skull **** you.


Now get on your ugly ****ing face and push because I don't want to see it!!!!!

Floyd did not beat Pacquiao. And the style he used wasn't slick. It was stick. Duck and stick to Pacquiao. Punch and stick to Pacquiao. Then run. Then stick again if caught.

This. He ran and held the whole night. And Manny landed the more effective blows, and more of hte power shots. In fact, Manny landed more meaningful shots than Floyd by a good margin.

RJJ was so ****ing biased commentating that fight. He shouldn't have a job after ruining a fight of the decade like that. RJJ's true colors showed that night.

You guys are in serious denial. All you have to go on are some manipulated slow motion videos. The fight happened in real time not slow motion where some idiot, who doesn't know boxing, makes guesses as to what is a landed blow and what is not. Floyd controlled Manny with his movement and jab which was landing easier than even I expected it to. Yeah, Manny landed the heavier blows but Floyd landed some pretty hard blows on Manny as well, which probably explains why Manny fougth more cautiously than he ever had in his entire career.

Floyd easily won that fight. Get over it.

My father use to tell me tough guys were a dime a dozen until they ran into a real tough guy. Anybody who has fought at any level knows this to be true.

Wise advice. And, when that reality hits you, that's when you start to realize that will is no substitute for skill. It ain't like the movies raised us to believe.

Slick fighters seem to always be the best

we saw how easy floyd (slick) schooled pac (not slick) and pac was considered second best

how do you beat the slick style?

What a ****** question.

Tons of slick fighters lose, me included.

If you took this to the training section I would give it a serious response. Since you didn't, I won't.

Now, in what pocket did I put my red K...

The skills of the fighter are far more important than what style he uses. Mayweather won by 8 rounds to 4 rounds on the judge's score cards. That's a win but certainly not an easy win. If it was so damn easy then how come he lost 4 rounds? So called slick fighters get beat and knocked out all the time. Sometimes the slick fighter wins and sometimes he doesn't.

My favorite "slick" moment is Tszyu KTFO Judah. Chicken dance was for the ages )))

That was truly something. Tito was on such a tear, then just drove straight into a brick wall with Bernard. Back when Bhop still had some slickness and didn't have to resort to smash and grab.
I remember hoping Hopkins would do well but when you start feeling bad for the guy you were rooting AGAINST just a few rounds prior (Tito), you know someone is getting a schooling.

Bernard is slick but not a true slick fighter, he's more of a hybrid between a conventionnal but tricky fighter and a slick one.

Tito was beaten technically but also truly outsized by Bernard
Shyt looked like a supermiddleweight against a lightmiddelweight.


Roy was slick for real, Pernell was the slickest of all time lol.

I'm a pac dude but those guys are ******s.
Floyd won, landed more punches and dictated most of the fights.
Controlled the outside with his reach and grabbed Manny in the inside.

That being said, it was hardly a kind of a "beating".
I wouldn't say he easely won.

Regarding Manny being cautious, it has more to do with him getting KTFO by Marquez.
The lil Mex boxermaster softened Pac and served him on a plate to Floyd.

Pac even looked shy against Algieri and Bradley, guys carrefuly choosen because they punch as hard as amateurs.

Funny how that works. I won't claim to be some sort of badass or anything but over the years I've met so many guys that say, "Yea, I LOVE boxing/mma, we should totally spar some time." Then, you get in some light practice with them and realize these dudes have never done this before. The stories about street fights and bravado completely run dry from then on. Again, no badassery, I've just seen that play out so many times. There's not a lot of us ****** enough to truly take joy in the art of hurting each other.

That's why I quit boxing, I had options in life (university, parties, b@tches).
I was like, I'm done with hurting or being hurt, I'm missing training though, I mean real training, sparring, not fitness with a heavy bag.


Dudes like Ali, Duran, Hopkins, Pacquiao picked boxing to survive and change of social status, they had no other options.

Floyd or Ward aren't born in the ******s, but they are son of boxers so they laced up gloves before even being able to walk.

Regarding guys wanting to try sparring, they always lose their control, are afraid, look at their own feet and get knocked the **** out if the fighter sparring with shows no pitty.

Yeah, I kinda agree. Neither guy looked like they had been in much of a fight at all. It looked like a high speed game of "TAG" rather than a fight. Manny fought cautiously and Floyd did just enough to edge out enough rounds to win. But it definitely was not a robbery.
