Floyd's Shoulder Roll would expose his Ribs

Got to admit that Ndou clip was awesome. But im pretty sure Pacs offense will a lot more unpredictable. PBF might lose on points.

 

He did a couple of times.

 

Did you see the vid that I posted? N'dou was able to land a couple of punches on Mayweather's body. In Pacquiao's case it will be more effective.

Let's see. Do you really think that Pacquiao's punches are the same as Hatton's punches? :huh Compared to Hatton, Pacquiao's punches are hard to predict and comes from weird angles. Not to mention that Mayweather used his elbows a lot to stop Hatton.

 

that's my favourite floyd BRAWL. in fact, the only floyd brawl i can think of. anyway, the shoulder roll could leave you exposed to the body but as damn near everyone said 1)other ppl have thought of it 2)other ppl have tried 3)other ppl have fail 4)floyd is too damn smart for that.

i learned during the hatton fight that floyd has a plan A-D. manny has to as well. yes, he can get in some body shots. but he should also aim for the hips (as gatti wanted to), aim for the shoulder (as another poster suggest), use educated aggression (as scar suggested), basically do a billion things at once cause just one ain't gonna cut it

 

errr not really. they're hard to block for most fighters because of the speed at which he is hitting you with both hands but that **** aint gonna work with floyd.

this thread is stupid. on which side will floyd expose his ribs? with his shoulder roll defense the left ribs are protected by the left arm hanging low. there's a small gap to his right ribs if floyd is blocking his face. all he has to do is drop the left elbow no more than 6 inches and his right ribs are covered, he can do it faster than pacquaio throws a hook. just like in that video i posted, pacquaio aint gonna land ****.

 

Are you talking about Hatton or Pacquiao? Umm... I still think that Pacquiao's punches are different from Hatton's. It's not just the speed, its how Pacquiao's throws his punches. Hatton's punches are wide. You could listen to most of Pacquiao's opponents saying that his punches comes from weird angles. They thought they were gonna block it but they ended up getting hit.

Well, anyway I think it's safe to say that we agree to disagree right? :bbb

 

pacquiao obviously. watching him land his combos in slow motion shows that his opponents are trying to block the left and imminently get hit with the right and vise versa. that's how pacquiao does damage. it's not gonna work against floyd. either way, it'll be an exciting fight and i hope mayweather fans and pacquiao fans can unite as boxing fans on march 13th and enjoy this fight. :happy

 

Couple points.

Manny's lead punch is usually the jab, not the straight left. He does mix them up but not nearly as predictable as Hatton. Hatton leads with the right which is very easy to see for another orthodox boxer. The left is much more difficult to see for an orthodox boxer as it usually comes behind the guard in a blind spot. Now Hatton got away with it against slower opponents but Floyd wasn't slow and proved it could be dealt with.

On the whole I agree the thread is stupid. Pacquiao will not be looking for openings. He will be making his own openings. He has always made his openings and punched inbetween where his opponents were punching. Just like the right hook that knocked Cotto down and almost out. Pacquiao is simply far, far more dangerous an opponent than Hatton was. Much less predictable, a southpaw with speed, power, chin and stamina.

What makes him unpredictable is the fact he mixes up the jab and the left so well. He can get you before your shot gets off, after you come up from slipping the jab or from the outside leading in. Guaranteed his left will find Floyd often. And if the left isn't working, a right hook over the jab will. It'll just be a test to see if Floyd can handle the punches hitting him with eerie frequency. I suspect he won't be able to handle it all.

If Zab did it for 4 rounds, Pacquiao will do it for 12. We'll see come fight time.

 

Pac's a southpaw. Floyd uses a high guard against southpaws.

 

you floydettes are ****ing delusional. Since when did it take to become an iron-chewing superman in order to land punches on Mayweather? Lol Castillo must have been Spiderman. Floyd isn't invincible like what you delusional ***s are thinking. He can get tagged and Pacquiao will no doubt tag him.

 

Have you ever actually watched Floyd fight? He keeps his lead forearm low when he rolls and crosses his hand over so his body is really hard to hit.

 

That is right, he keeps his arms wrept around his body. It is very difficult to get to his body, much more difficult than against a conventional defender.

But I wonder why nobody of the Floyd experts and fans here have picked up on following. PBF will use the shoulder roll only to evade the right hook on Pac. Pac's power hand, the left can't be rolled out by PBF.
Floyd fights more conventional against southpaws, the soulder roll won't be a big factor. PBF will still be slippery and loose in his uper body movement but won't be as effective countering. .
