How will Floyd deal with Hattons' Constant Clinching/Wrestling?

this is indeed very useful. toney complained about the rabbit punches for the 2nd peter fight and it was pretty effective.

 

sad thing is he believes he's the main attraction

 

Really? Baldomir and Judah are big name attractions? I was unaware of this.

They aren't. Cotto is an acton fighter....he just fought Judah. If Judah was an attaction, fighting Cotto on Cinco De Mayo, they would have done more PPV than PBF Baldomir.

People pay to see PBF even if it's only to see him lose. Why is it that PBF-DLH did so much? Not soley DLH. DLH only accounts for a certain portion. DLH-Tito made less in an era when boxing was watched MORE than now.

 

Your avatar looks exactly like how it'll look Dec. 8th:bbb

 

Uhhh...he did 300K+ against Baldomir, and that was up against a free HW "title" fight on Showtime. The Judah fight did pretty well too, and we all know that Zab couldn't draw flies to an arena if he took a **** in the ring.

Mayweather's drawing power is pretty decent for this era. Now, whether or not people are actually tuning in to see him win is a another story.

 

Why would Floyd fight a bum at this point in his career? And when did Baldomir become a big name?

 

while i get annoyed with hatton's holding at times, i also get annoyed at floyds holding too.

yep i really consider floyd similar to hatton at times. hatton holds more as it's more part of his game whether hurt or not. but floyd holds just as expertly as hatton when he wants a break, reset his opponent or is tempoarily overwhelmed such as in the first castillio fight as an example.

if you cannot see that floyd holds like hatton at times then your simply bias. im a fan of BOTH fighters for their respective styles and admit hatton holds more. but i'd be blind to say floyd doesn't do the same.

this fight might turn out to be spectacular.... or boring. why? because it's possible that the two fighters will hold each other all night long.

hatton holds to stop floyd from getting off with pinpoint accurate shots up close, while floyd holds to stop combinations and to reset hatton.

hatton will go to lock floyds left arm in a lock, while floyd will put his forearm under hattons chin while holding the other arm. it might look like two reeeeally skilled versions of john ruiz in there for a part of the fight. where it will open up more is who is the more fresher down the stretch. and since both have great stamina it will be interesting indeed.

 

Hatton can actually fight when he's not molesting his opponent...against Tszyu he mauled alot, but with more punching than clinching...i hope Hatton doesn't turn into the next Ruiz...

 

It will be pretty easy. He will use his foot speed. Look at Roy Jones's fight with John Ruiz and you will see a classic example of a boxer eliminating the clinching from a huggers game plan. John Ruiz will blame it on Nady but in reality it was Jone's speed and footwork that did it.

 

That's basic dude . . .

Floyd only needs to be on his toes and counter punch Hatton when he is trying to come in . . . and he needs to connect. When Hatton gets too close . . . clinch and hug him too and continue to go forward and just let the ref separate them. Once they are separated . . . then start the snipping and counter punching again.

It could be an eye sore . . . but that's the only way to deal with clinchers. The Ref needs to be pushed too . . . to stop the clinching, by Floyd complaining all the time . . . . expect boooiing from the crowd. :yep

 

Hattons doesn't charge and grab though not for the most part anyway. He works his way in punching and then grabs after landing a shot or 2. Floyd has the hand and foot speed to counter hatton's attempts to land the shots and then move out of the way before the grab. I expect the jab and lead right hand to be floyd's weapons of preference that night and I also expect him to make a fuss in the locker room to the ref ahead of time about the holding.

 

:happy :happy :happy Watching Gayrunner get his ugly visage pummelled will do everyone in boxing a huge favour

 

by using his jab and boxing from the outside. n when it does happen, using his forearm and right hand
