:think Alot of fans on ESB keep saying Shane gassed out, Oscar stopped throwing the jab, Ricky quit throwing "smart punches", and JMM just lost interest in trying to win thus why his punchrate went down later in the fight... But if u look at Floyd's career as a whole he is always "tiring" opponents....Shane was no different...If what everyone is saying is true in "Shane was old" (by no means am i suggesting his age didnt factor in) than why does it always happen..WHEN YOUR GETTING COUNTERPUNCHED AFTER EVERY PUNCH YOU THROW THAN YOUR GOING TO TIRE Shane Mosley- LOOKED AWESOME IN THE PREVIOUS FIGHT AS FAR AS STAMINA GOES....HANDLED A PRESSURE FIGHTER IN MARGARITO WITH EASE...HAD ALOT TO GIVE...WHEN HE FOUGHT FLOYD, HE WOULD GET COUNTERPUNCHED EVERYTIME HE LET HIS HANDS GO...JABS TO THE BODY ALONG WITH UPPERCUTS TO THE BODY WERE LANDING PRECISE ON HIM Marquez-Came out trying to blaze a little bit but was overpowered...check the punch stats round by round....fell off late and quit throwing meaningful punches..JABS TO THE BODY ALL NIGHT WERE COMING AT HIM Hatton-Came out strong and solid but was taking jabs to the body AGAIN...WAS BEING WORKED BY ABOUT THE 6TH ROUND...PUNCH OUTPUT THE SAME THING..QUIT LETTING HIS HANDS GO AND GOT BEAT.. DE LA HOYA-SAME AS HATTON ONLY WITH THE SIZE AND STRENGTH TO "MAKE IT HIS FIGHT" SOMETIMES...USED HIS JAB EARLY BUT WAS GETTING COUNTERED ALL NIGHT....ALSO TOOK ALOT OF JABS TO THE BODY BALDOMIR-CAME OUT TRYING TO CHASE FLOYD AROUND THE RING AS HE WAS GETTING TATTOOED AND COUNTERED....BY THE END OF THE FIGHT CARLOS WAS PHYSICALLY TIRED AND MENTALLY BROKEN DOWN...HE KNEW HE WAS GETTING BLOWN OUT...GUESS WHAT MORE JABS TO THE BODY JUDAH-CAME OUT STRONG AND BLAZING BUT WAS TAKING TO MANY JABS TO THE BODY AND GETTING TIMED EASY BY THE 5TH ROUND...GASSED OUT AND TIRED..HAD TO HIT LOW TO HANG ON AND NOT GET STOPPED AS HIS STAMINA WAS ON THE LOW.. I CAN GO ON AND NAME A FEW MORE FIGHTERS...BUT WHAT IM SAYIN IS GO TAKE A LOOK AT ROUND 9 OF THE MOSLEY-MARGARITO FIGHT...THAN GO LOOK AT THE MAYWEATHER-MOSLEY FIGHT.. BY NO MEANS DID MOSLEY GAS OUT ON HIS OWN...FLOYDS COUNTERPUNCHING AND THE FACT THAT FLOYD WOULD MAKE SHANE PAY EVERYTIME SHANE LET HIS HANDS GO IS WHAT BROKE SHANE DOWN...AGE WAS A PART OF IT BUT U CAN ONLY TAKE THAT SO FAR..THE MAN HAD AWESOME STAMINA IN HIS VERY LAST FIGHT WITH TONY:deal
Re: How come everyone that fights floyd "tires?" Because its not gassing out. Its becoming frustrated with the fact that they cannot adjust to him.
Shane looked tight and unable to throw punches even in the first round. Just saying- could be that his strategy + Floyd's counters combined to limit the amount of punches thrown.
Pretty much everyone that fights mayweather just gives up before they are even half way through the fight.
Floyd is just brilliant in the ring. He get's them frustrated and they seem to lose focus on the gameplan. That was an awesome performance by Mayweather.
Becuase he fights old guys or lightweights, or weight drained guys on their way to prison. Would be the haters answer! :good
Nice post SDF and agree completely. It's no coincidence that all fighters tire and look like **** against Mayweather.
This. Also when you throw any type of punch and your constantly getting countered and pot shotted it causes a fighter to be reluctant, regardless of how tough they are.
