A Pacquiao style might find holes in Floyd's shoulder roll

I think it's a tough night for Pacquiao unless he really finds a home for his left hand whether it be to the body or the head.

He is going to have trouble landing his jab and right hook...

Meanwhile Floyd will have his entire @rsenal to work with. The jab to the body working really well for Floyd methinks. Floyd will be looking to use his height and range on the outside.

Pacquiao needs to equalize with footwork and high workrate but that's going to be hard...Will get to the point where Pacquiao is going to need to hurt or drop him & he can do that without a doubt.

 

Floyd's shoulder roll isn't effective against a southpaw because it'll leave him open with a left, Pac doesn't need to find holes in it because it will always be open.

Floyd will just use the high guard. Now if Floyd instinctively shoulder rolls just like against Corley, Pac can take advantage.

I don't think we would see shoulder rolls in May 2 or at least not that much...

The fight would be a battle of faints and straights.

 

Like I've been saying, Floyd barely uses the shoulder roll against southpaws, he uses the high guard more often. From a high guard stance, he tends to be a bit more aggressive. If Freddie and/or Manny fails to recognize this then they'll be in shock when Mayweather gives them a look they weren't expecting.

 

You can see in Pacquiao training footage

They are practising countering with a right hook over Mayweathers jab but I don't see how Pacquiao can make that work...Floyd really is a master with his jab. The best way to counter Floyds jab or any jab is typically with a better jab - Maidana & cotto had some success however smaller Pacquiao is going to have big big problems. Honestly Khan would do a better job in that department against Floyd.

 

The only thing he's finding is the canvas once he crashes there after a barrage of Mayweather rights.

:nod:nod

 

Floyd will find them rights but Pacquiao will just smile and knock his gloves together... Floyd will do best landing them at range rather than as hard counters with Pac moving in.

Sorry to burst the bubble. Pac has more chance stopping Floyd with the left than Floyd has of stopping Pac with his right. So don't be so confident with your outcome.

 

when was the last time, or when has Floyd ever used the shoulder roll as his primary defense against south paws ? that is not a defense when you're fighing southies.

Floyd will fight pac like he fights every single south paw, behind the high guard while coming forward pressing the attack. its like some of you have never seen Floyd fight south paws or aren't capable of seeing the subtle differences in floyds defensive gameplans.

against south paws the only time Floyd ever uses the shoulder roll is once he has the opponent completely figured out and the opponent is no threat to him what so ever. I see him using the shoulder roll for parts of rounds from the fifth round onwards.

he will use it to gain the position he is looking for then go on the attack. Floyd gives south paws hell, he beats the ever living sh!t out of them

 

Just like how he smiled and knocked his gloves together after Marquez delivered the right hand on justice right on Manny's fragile mandible. :think

I see May knocking his ass out in 9 good rounds, after a dominating performance by Mr.Mayweather. :nod:deal

 

Manny's right hook counter over Mayweather's jab would have be timed perfectly and delivered with considerable speed. The younger Manny would've been able to pull it off, but at this stage of his career I don't really know if he can. What Manny has to worry the most about though isn't Mayweather's jab, it's his right hand. Manny has been hit with a lot of right hands in his career, it's no secret that that punch is his achilles heel. And Mayweather has the best right hand in the world. Manny has to find a way to neutralize Floyd's right which is pretty much a near impossible thing to do.

Oh and I'd ignore MVC, he doesn't contribute any kind of tactical input whatsoever. :deal

 

Shows how much you know about boxing. If floyd wants to go with his jab to the body he will be countered with the right hook.

 

LOL

shows how little you know about Floyd Mayweather

You think Pac can counter Floyds jab to the body with a right hook?

holy moly you ever seen Floyds jab to the body? It's one of the best in the sport.

you watch on May 2nd as Floyd lands that thing at free will.

It's the right hand to the body Pac should be looking to counter as Judah did.

 

Pacquiao can counter the jab to the body with a hook atsch

What punch do you think Knocked Floyd down against Judah?

 

Right hook counter of the right hand to the body

not jab to the body.
