    Loma landed 3 shots in the first rd v Pedraza and Floyd landed 7 shots in the 1st rd v Canelo, I think Pedraza`s reach gave Loma problems, Floyd`s jab landed often against Canelo and he landed more jabs to the body than Loma does.

    You do see though, how the video could be misconstrued and seen as biased?
    It compares a physically prime Loma to an older, WW version of Floyd that sat in the
    pocket far more. I think Loma's footwork is phenomenal, but I still vividly remember
    SFW and LW Floyd...........his movement was just as phenomenal.

    Floyd is not really known for his footwork, he's known for his cat like reflexes, his upper body movement, and his ability to accurately predict what your next moves are, he's a chess player.

    Until Loma shows it against people of the same ilk that Floyd did I'm going with Floyd

    Floyd`s opponents weren`t in their primes when he met them.

    Corrales was an excellent win though and Hatton was good, but not that much better than Rigo was fighting at higher weights and Linares who was brilliant against Loma and had a reach advantage also.

    Opponents losing track of Loma is due to him being really adept at taking away their vision, if you watch his fights closely it's clear as day when he jabs at a high guard, he will purposely leave his jab hand there to block their vision and move to the side. He uses both his gloves and forearm depending on angle to block their vision.

    As for the trick that the post describes as teleportation, it is basically a combination of taking away the opponents vision to coincide with other moves. He makes a move, and has an answer based on the opponents reaction. One example is when the opponent ducks, he leans his whole body weight on their back with his forearm or elbow, with this technique he is able to shift to their side whilst keeping his feet out of the opponents limited vision (as he is able to lift them both off the ground) which would be pointed towards the ground.

    That's why it looks like he is moving like the Matrix and they are stuck in the mud. He is disabling his opponents. So no, not this, that post is way off and doesn't explain squat. It's just someone smelling his own fart.
