Breaking Down the "Shoulder Roll"...How do you do it???

Jabs, feints.

 

You could watch James Toney vs Roy Jones Jr and watch for yourself how Jr dealt with it. Another good one to watch is Ray Leonard vs Mayweather Sr. Of course Leonard and Jones Jr are not the norm and it's not like an average or even good fighter could do what they did.

I'm still working on my 1-2, the days of me ever attempting a shoulder roll are a long way off yet.

 

Punch said fighter in the sac. :deal
Pound the shoulder & smother the right hand.

 

Funnily enought, back in my less than stellar amateur days,the shoulder roll came kinda naturally to me.

Just seemed the logical way to defend.

I mean,it alkl deoends on how good you are at it too. Berto used to it TERRIBLE effect against Guererro and got landed on all night. It wasnt his natural style at all.

 

The left hook is the key.. :deal

The hook should be fast and powerful because if its not, you'll definitely eat a right straight..


But if you have the heart, durability, and size of Margarito you can press Mayweather on the ropes to limit the area where he can roll with your punches..

Of course, its easier said than done..

 

Or let Floyd be on the offensive and counter him..

You would need a quick jab straight right.

The jab would make the fight roll one direction, may even move his hand to parry the shoot, and there by creating a opening for a fast right hand to the head or body. Floyd was tagged like this by Mosley and Judah and was hurt by both.

Make your movements hard to guess..

^Looks like he kind of went at an angle. I like the .gifs you guys are posting; they are really showing FMJ's weaknesses.

 

Take him out of position..
