He's still training as I type now :yep Andre Dirrell got in there and sparred somebody right when Floyd was finished
Cheers BBall. 1. Mayweather is alot bigger 2. It's not full speed sparring but this and the Oscar fight makes me think 154 is not a good weight. 3. The emphasis is on infighting 4. Mayweather is the come forward fighter 5. 50 looks and sounds drunk 6. I think rumours of Mayweather battering Henry were true, and that's why he's so hesitant to fight. 7. It's early in Camp, you see Mayweather focussing on different things at different times, and his reflexes look good, not great; but good. 8. More emphasis on the jab than usual
I've been watching for a while and definitely noticed Point 8 as well. He's really putting focus on the jab.
Looks like the SP could be Omar Henry, who was rumored to be added to Floyd's camp. If so, Floyd couldn't have selected a better guy to emulate Cotto.
Mayweather looks like he is going to try to press the action in this fight. Cotto is going to be fighting on the backfoot in this fight.
I think the jab is to help compensate for the decline of the leap in left hook. (He shows a sharp left hook, but not the same spring in the legs since the JMM fight) It's suprising to me, because Cotto is a very good jabber. There is a saying that goes 'you don't want to punch with the puncher, but you do want to jab with the jabber' :think Another point could be that if Mayweather goes out and outjabs Cotto then that will destroy Miguel's confidence and take away what is probably his most important wepon.
I recall when people watched footage for him in prep for ortiz, everyone was like, HES A G, Hit legs are shot, so mixed. the facts are that come fight night he takes care of business so why fret, if he is declining then he will get KO'd, but come on we all know deep down that he is going to get the W.
