how to beat floyd

jab to the head, get him to bend, right hook to the body, come back up with a left hook to the head, follow with a straight right. The jab has to be working constantly, and always to the head or shoulder. It doesn't even have to be a stiff jab, just keep it in his face so he's thinking about it.

Floyd's main flaw is that he's always in the same position defensively, and when he bends down he completely immobilizes himself and has no ability to counterpunch or mount any offense. DLH could have beat Mayweather had he just let his hands go more and went to the body more often. Castillo Mayweather 1 was a good example of how to beat him.

Again, keep him honest with a good jab, get him bend, go the body, and work your way upstairs. As long as your doing that, he can't do much. If you stand in front of him and do nothing or headhunt, your gonna loose.

If your a southpaw, straight left hands and body shots are key.

 

the main flaw of the philly shell defense is that it completely sacrifices offense for defense. It only leaves one outlet for counterpunching, which is the right hand. When you bend over, you can't do anything. Mayweather gets away with it because he's so quick. If you stuff the jab in his face and go to the body and back upstairs, , he can't do ****. You just gotta be able to take a few potshots every now and then.

 

when he bends over or he's in his shell, he has no legs, he's immobilized. The only head movement he has is bending over at his waist. You just gotta understand a philly shell defense. In the middle of the ring, he's most effective, but if you back him up with a jab, cut off the ring, and do everything I just said, he can't do much.

Castillo had a great gameplan but he didn't execute perfectly. When he did, Mayweather couldn't do anything.

When DLH decided to actually use his jab, Mayweather got his head knocked back or he got into a defensive shell.

Jeff young, judah was the right strat for a southpaw, but you can't over-rely on just the straight left hand, you need to go the body.

As long as you understand a philly shell defense, you can beat floyd. 99% of his opponents did not know how to deal with it, and none of them had the right gameplan except Castillo, who didn't quite execute to perfection.

 

i didnt say it was easy.

"everyone had a gameplan" well they were all the wrong gameplan, that's the point. The guy who had the right gameplan (Castillo) almost beat him (and did beat him according to many people).

 

ya im not saying that at all. obviously the exchanges will be quick. The point is to keep a jab in his face so he's honest, go to the body, and work your way upstairs. Castillo used that strat and it worked well. When DLH used his jab Mayweather really couldn't do anything at all.

 

mayweather countered his jab maybe a couple of times at best. DLH was having overwhelming success with the jab, you need to watch the fight again. That was what cost him the fight when he stopped using it.

And if you want to avoid an overhand right counter over the jab, just keep your chin tucked in and your head low, and you'll neutralize that.

 

marquez problem is that he's at a total disadvantage physically. He'd have to fight a perfect fight to win , even then it just doesn't seem very likely, unless the layoff affects mayweather.
