Mayweather Only Defends Combos He Seen

Explain

 

Well ok, Juan manuel marquez it's one of the most skilled combination punchers we have in this era. Look at what happend in that matchup

 

lol

 

Guys don't throw combos on PBF and even if they do they don't land.:deal When was the last time you saw PBF get hit with a 3 shot combo?

 

Holloway didn't say that the full combinations would land -- he was saying that you have to throw unusual combinations to land a good shot on Mayweather. Textbook stuff like the 1-2 to the head (or a 1-2 with a left hook after that) probably won't work. He said that Cotto was able to land his jab by mixing it up a little, throwing a jab, right, and then another jab when Mayweather expected the hook. Basically he's saying that if you change things up with the combinations, you can start landing a shot here and there, because Mayweather is hard-wired to roll and block conventional shots and combinations.

With all that said, I disagree with him about Canelo winning. I just don't think he has the stamina or the workrate to pull off the strategy that Holloway is talking about. The video is interesting though, and I do like his ideas about what troubles Mayweather.

 

Ok so all Canelo has to do is:
1) Out-maneuver Floyd into a position where he can unload a combo
2) Avoid Floyd's counter-punches
3) Re-train his mind and body to throw unorthodox combos, and not the combos he's drilled into his mind for the past 20 years
4) And then just do that over and over


Yeah, not gonna happen :yep

 

You can see it in Floyds movements when he boxes right hand up for that left hook, chin tucked under that shoulder so he can block or roll away from the right hand, and he picks off your jab with his right....

When a fighter starts to throw shots at Floyd he rolls with the classic 1,2,3 which limits how often he gets hit. Halloway is correct you have to set up the shot with Floyd using throw away shots to set up the shot you intend to score.....

 

I haven't watched the video i will do so now.

 

Mayweather was just too big for him. Marquez managed to get through with a few bombs that Mayweather shook of, he couldn't do that to the new Marquez.

 

Canelo already throws unorthodox combos.
