"Mayweather VS Pacquiao: A Technical Summary"

great video bro!!

Morlaes breaks it down just like i see it. that left hand is way to low all the damn time and Floyd's straight rights are gonna batter that face. Pac best be ready

 

Great breakdown, really appreciate it man. I already watched it twice. Also I like footage from Morales/Barrera/Marquez:cheers

 

lol at Naz

Yeah Naz if you are willing to run you can turn any southpaw but you can't ****ing throw.

 

Beautiful stuff. That is probably a better breakdown than what you'll see from 90% of professional "experts".

 

Curious. If it is as easy as turning Pacquiao to make him lose the foot position advantage, as Shane Mosley, Morales, and Marquez all say and did...

then why did Morales get knocked out 2 times trying to imply the strategy, why did the Mosley get knocked down and lose to a very dominantly decision trying to use that strategy, and why did Marquez lose almost all fights (INCLUDING the third, which I think he won pretty clearly as compubox supports) and was about to be KO'ed in the fourth fight until he caught Pac using that strategy?

Obviously, it's not as simple as that. Because, honestly, the gameplan hasn't seemed to have been very effective.

And also, Pacquiao didn't lose to Morales because of foot position. It was because Pacquiao didn't know how to negate his jab...he figured it out, and knocked Morales out the next two fights.


So, I'm confused? It's just I see what you're saying, and I understand. It logistically makes sense, but... in reality, it hasn't won his opponent's many fights, if any. Only two were Morales and Marquez the fourth fight, which Marquez was losing bad and Morales was a whole other story, back when Pac was one dimensional and had a lot of problems going into that fight.

 

Excellent unbiased breakdown. Foot work will be key in this fight I can't stress that enough. I feel that PBF will win that battle he knows how to use proper foot placement and can make more adjustments. His educated footwork is better than Pac's.

 

If we are going to say Morales, Mosley were old and discredit those wins, then I guess we can say the same for the others as well. It looked as if Morales employed that strategy easy, but as Pacquiao will tell you, a day before the fight, he was struggling to make weight. Therefore, he wasn't allowed to drink or eat anything. Then, he had to take a surprise blood test and blood was drawn from him the day before the fight, when he already hadn't eaten or drank anything. And for those who knows biology, that's horrible for your body.

He said the day of the fight, he felt horrible, and when he punched Morales, he didn't have any power. He also fatigued very early (5th round), a sign of dehydration and weakness.

Also, differ of opinion, but I thought Marquez won the third fight. Pacquiao was busier, out-landed him, and scored at either a higher or better connect percentage for the 3rd fight. And if we want, we can make excuses for that fight too because he was in horrible financial situation, and his wife was fighting with him and asked for divorce the night of the fight, was refusing to go to the arena with him, be with him, share the room with him, etc. It was bad. Still, I think he won the close decision.


But those are if we just want to use the excuses. If not, then we see those who tried to use the strategy repeatedly lost.

What about the 4th fight? Why was Marquez losing so badly? To the point his corner was going to call off the fight in the 7th round? Had Pacquiao adjusted? What was it? I just don't think it's as simple as that.

And for Mayweather, a fighter with subliminal experience fighting southpaws when compared to Pacquiao fighting orthodox fighter's his entire life...I still think Pac has that advantage when it comes to foot positioning. Also, I 100% agree that foot positioning is important, but I still think Manny has the advantage. He has so much more experience in that area, and it hasn't shown to be a detrimental gameplan against him. Effective, yes. Detrimental, no. He's always found a way to win.

 

Reply to my PM then you Diva

 

:good:good

 

It's more than just educated footwork, it's movement. Will Mayweather be able to move out the way?

When Bernard Hopkins is 80 years old, he'll have the most educated footwork in boxing, but that still won't help him against a young man.

 

thats not the biggest key point. its pac throwing the same double jab jab just to throw that left hand combination that Mayweather will time by round 4. and with pac not throwing many body shots at all, how will he adjust?? thats the key
