Floyd Mayweather Jr Vs Left Handers

Floyd held him and laughed at him before the headbutt

 

Maybe you can see it better here.

That first right hook was flush on the chin; the second left landed clean on his head; a few more missed shots, then Floyd rolls with a glancing right hook, and a left lands through the guard. Floyd was hardly out on his feet or anything like that, but walking straight into such a wild shot and then ceding control by backing up straight into the ropes while taking one or two more instead of controlling the center of the ring is, and should be, considered beneath him considering his skills. Again, nothing dramatically "exposing" about these moments, but they're worth noting.

 

3 punches tops actually landed imo, only the first was a decent clean punch, the third left sort of got through but the edge was taken off it, the other right he took but rolled with. He was back in control when on the ropes. A fighter will get hit in boxing matches and Ortiz is pretty quick and has knocked down everyone he's faced bar FMJ

That was all coming off an right uppercut that was a mistake to throw

 

I agree with you for the most part, but I don't think he was in control against the ropes. One of those few clean shots landed there, and he wasn't in position to throw too much back. He would do better to shift laterally and control the center of the ring, but when he did so, he ducked incorrectly and walked into that right hook after that uppercut, as you said. Again, it's not a huge blunder, but if I'm Freddie Roach heading into a fight with Floyd, I'm watching these tapes day and night and trying to find the patterns.

 

Ok, I have to stop you there, once his back touched the ropes, he didn't get hit, so what exactly are you referring to?

 

Yup, I count one clean punch, which was the first in the sequence, every other thrown had a glove or arm in the way.

 

There are 3. The first right hook, then a follow up left on the head, and then against the ropes he gets hit once against the ropes. One of the lefts manages to get through his guard. Nothing huge, but it lands on his face.

EDIT: You're right, I meant the left thrown just before his back touches the ropes.

 

I looked again and there are two, the first in the sequence, and the straight left that gets through when he smiles directly after, right before his back touches the ropes. The other punch you're counting I don't quite call a clean shot, sure the glove made contact with the side of the head, but because Floyd's glove and arm was partially in the way, it was more of a pushing punch and didn't have anything on it. Just a difference in opinion.

 

Is this really the best you got?

 

Floyd does fine vs Left Handers-I can just as easy come and say "well Floyd does good with fighters who have shorter arms"

Floyd knocks Manny pretty easy-it's clear this thread is in someway related to that-

Manny does not have the technical game, the skillset, the footwork, nor the arm reach to be able to deal with Floyd's versatility-

Floyd is ok against left handed fighters-A RIGHT HANDED MOSLEY HIT HIM CLEANER AND MORE TIMES THAN CORLEY, JUDAH,ORTIZ, OR SANDERS (2ND PRO FIGHT WAS AGAINST A SOUTHPAW).

 

Floyd shoulder rolled and counter right handed Victor Ortiz with great ease toward the end of round 3. He looked so relaxed, so confident, and he executed to perfection. It's pointless to even consider Floyd vs. southpaws. If Manny is the ultimate southpaw, then I'd say that Floyd will deal him punishment on a grand scale. After that kid would've gotten his ass handed to him, they would just say there was another fighter he can't beat. Manny doesn't want to fight Floyd, he can NEVER be P4P king as long as Floyd is an active fighter, so Floyd should make his last 40-60 million, and ride out knowing that Manny wasn't ready to face the truth.

 

Every left hander he has fought, he has pretty much dominated. Judah won 3 of the 1st 4 rounds, which had more to do with his skill and being quicker than Floyd. Then he got systematically taken apart and was busted up and swollen at the end.

Sharmba Mitchell. Dominated and stopped.

Chop Chop Corley, dominated knocked down multiple times. Complete wipe out on the cards.

Victor Ortiz, made to eat right hand after right hand after right hand. Was getting schooled, so he tried to cheat, then got his ass KOed.

 

Floyd was toying with this kid. Have you seen Floyd fight before. He's more than comfortbable going back against the ropes, and letting his opponenet flurry wildy and land ****. He does it all the time. It not only gasses them when they keep missing, but it **** with them psychologically and frustrates the hell out of them. Ortiz couldm't land ****, then Floyd grabs his head and smiles at him,and that sent him over the edge. He was eating right hands all night, and he just lost it. He was being schooled.

 

no way-at the time they were about on even levels-Floyd had only had 1 ppv fight by the time he got to Zab...It was Floyd's biggest payday too.

 

No way, that is impossible. ******* Parrot has said that the shoulder roll doesnt work against southpaws. That footage of Mayweather shoulder rolling against Ortiz must be CGI added in later.
