Applied Pressure Is One Of The Biggest Fluke Concepts In Boxing...

Hatton was able to get to Mayweather not so much due to his own footwork, but rather Floyd's lack thereof. He backed up in straight lines (where Hatton was content to follow him) and purposely fought off the ropes looking for countering opportunities. Floyd, aside from a few fights, has never shown excellent footwork in the first place. Hatton had fast feet, and was a mauler, which is why he was so often able to get to his man. He'd grab, clinch, and proceed to put in his work from there. And my reasons for including Hatton have more to do with his completely porous defense than anything else. The Pacquiao fight was just embarassing from start to finish.

Diaz, on the other hand has shown excellent use of angles in quite a few of his fights. Not a great fighter by any means, but his footwork on the inside has always been impressive. Watch the way he befuddles Katsidis with his angles on the inside.

 

I understand what you mean about Hatton but the very fact that he always left himself wide open coming in shows its not that effective against talented boxers. As for him cutting off the ring, its good but he basically use to bounce on his opponent a little too much for my taste..

 

Well I guess ignorance is bliss, so what did I expect?

 

Then get the **** out. Pretty simple solution.:good

 

I know what you mean but the end result doesn't have anything to do with the way the pressure is applied as far as I'm concerned. Margarito didn't really need to apply intelligent pressure because he could take everything thrown at him..that's all !

Arturo Gatti didn't win his matches because of intelligent pressure but because his heart and courage overtook his opponents.

Intelligent pressure : The key words are minimum damage coming in with maximum results once there..but it doesn't guarantee a win !

 

You're terrible. MAyorga used beyond horrible pressure and beat the man that many thought may have a shot against Floyd had he not died.

 

How it works all depends on the level of the opponent. If you apply impeccable pressure technically, it's going to take a very high level of fighter who brings something else to the table to deal with you. If you're a guy like Margarito who relies mainly on his stamina and durability, you'll eventually be exposed at the highest level, regardless of the success you have against lower tier opponents. Again, this is the case with every style, not just pressure. Saying pressure doesn't depend on how it's applied is like saying any other style, and in essence the sport of boxing doesn't depend on how it's applied.

 

Without realizing it you made WWM point. I do agree with WWM to a certain extent.

 

I'm getting lost for words because I thought I made it very simple...

Margarito always applied unintelligent pressure his entire career but his chin enabled him to dominate at a weight class where he was huge ! The Mosley loss has nothing to do...

Using any compartments of your game in order to absorb the least amount of damage coming inside while enabling yourself to distribute the most possible !

 

Nah you missed the your own point.


What you're trying to say is Intelligent pressure is a fluke..clearly the answer is no and then you go on talking about the randomness of results.
