Expect to see Mayweather sharp and moving and firing shots like he did in the Gatti fight. He has to put punches together and control the range. One thing about Canelo is that he doesn't like getting hit and likes to fire back with strong combinations and when Floyd isn't there to receive them this kids is going to mentally crumble. I always said that Canelo beats Floyd if Floyd fought him by standing in front and trying to walk him down but Floyd isn't doing that **** anymore. Like Sr said, "no more punishment." Canelo likes to square up so expect to see Floyd stabbing him to that body with that jab which will zap energy from Canelo, plus it will help Floyd control the range. I'm not comparing Canelo to Gatti at all bc they are different levels apart. Im just saying that Floyd will be fighting in that manner. Remember that Floyd Sr said, "that Floyd will throw more punches this fight than he has in a long time." Canelo will not be able to think at that high pace and Floyd will not only let his hands go but he will be quick with his defense as well, and as soon as Floyd's back touch that rope he will be spinning out right back to the center of the ring. Floyd knows he can't bull**** around bc that extra 20 pounds is a lot to get hit with. I see Floyd stopping Canelo in 8 rounds. Too many sharp lead shots, counters, and body shots. Canelo is too flat footed and will be planting his feet to load up and Floyd will be out of range. :deal
your spot on mate. barthe stopping canelo in 8 not sure bout that but maybe if canelo gases. cause ya no floyd wont
You don't have a ****ing clue. Read what I said again and get back to me. Floyd has to let his hands go and like I said he can control the range with his jab to the body and with his foot work. Flat footed loading up is not going to cut it.
Boy there is a reason why Floyd Sr said Floyd will be throwing more punches and sorry you're not able to see it. He can't pot shot Canelo all night. Even Sr and Floyd know this.
Here we go again. I can't remember the last time Floyd was heading into a fight, and someone never said its going to look like Floyd vs Gatti! It never does.
I never said it will look like that. I said Floyd needs to fight this kid in that manner. There is a reason his father said Floyd will be throwing more punches. Remember to come to this thread after the fight.
Who the hell said he fought like Gatti? I sure didn't? Canelo does tire as the fight go on but one shot at a time isn't going to cut it. Plus Floyd will be better off throwing those hans like his father said. Floyd has faster feet and better footwork and hand speed. Don't mistake me saying Floyd is going to be throwing more punches as he will just be wailing away like an idiot. Just come back here after the fight. Don't worry I won't say you don't know **** about boxing.
That's not the point at all newbie. It's actually pretty simple. There's a rythm to boxing, and all boxers have a certain workrate. Canelo's workrate is pretty slow, and he looks uncomfortable when the pace goes up. He's also been prone to gassing towards the later rounds in a few fights, which gives Mayweather two reasons to up his rythm a little against el Ginger. Couple that with the fact that Mayweather himself never gasses and can fight effectively at pretty much whatever pace he feels like, and it's pretty f*cking easy to figure out why it would be advantageous for Floyd to fight at a faster pace and make Canelo as uncomfortable and tired as possible. Pretty much everyone seems to get this, I'm surprised you didn't. Also, many people seem to underestimate the effectiveness of Mayweather's awkward combinations. When he actually does throw a combination.
Oh Floyd will win the battle on the inside. Using all the tricks in the book on Canelo. Its the mid range he has to be worried about.
canelo does like to fire back in combnations but when was the last time you saw floyd get hit with a combination and all the punches landed.. lol he gets hit with one shot occasionally the shells up... canelo will find this fight hard.
