The Misconception that Mayweather gives away early rounds

Judah first few rounds.
Mosley 2nd round.

 

Judah and Oscar did well early but not aswell as people make out because both were having trouble actually landing. Hatton appeared to be in the fight in the first 6rounds and Mayweather hadn't turned up the heat on him yet

 

Hatton probably won the first round although Mayweather tripped on his foot and the perception was that he was hit with a good punch

 

He doesn't lose them but just isn't as impressive as he is when the fight goes on because his style is based on adapting.

 

Mayweather won that round easily. Watch it again.

 

I remember Mayweather pasting Hatton with straight rights in that round. I knew it was all but over.

 

Wasn't the first where Mayweather tripped over Hatton's foot? I believe that was the only round I gave to Ricky. Maybe I'm mistaken...

 

So early rounds only equals 1st round?

 

You forgot Judah too who won the first two

End of the day, who gives a ****. If he wins the next 11 it's an easy nights work.

Fight someone who can give you a challenge, the only one who can give him a challenge is Pacquiao

 

You're just thick as s**t

 

Imo there's nothing wrong with testing the waters slowly and getting someone's timing down in the first 2 or 3.... There's a lot of fight left after those.

 

I had Hatton winning the first rounds as well...

 

Its not winning the rounds or not winning the rounds as such its giving his opponant titbits and a little false hope so they come out of their shell a little. Its a great tactic.
