Pacquiao and the Jab

Don't compare hatton to cotto please.
That makes me sick to my stomach.

 

:good

 

Cotto knocked down Alfonso Gomez with a jab as well. Granted, Gomez' only accomplishment was beating an old and shot Gatti; the post of Clottey on the floor made me think about that.

 

Cotto had floored 3 opponents with his jab.

 

To me it looks more like just him beating him to the punch.

 

Stop hit in Jeet Kune Do, which is intercepting an opponent's attack with an attack of your own instead of a simple block, usually works only if you're faster than your opponent, which is usually the case with Pacquiao.

 

The way of the intercepting fist.

 

I would love to see if Manny can neutralize Floyd's jab.

 

Interesting video.

I think the primary difference here is that Mayweather, unlike Cotto, does not have to initiate his offense with the jab. Because he is equally likely to throw the lead right (to the head or body) or left hook.

The diversification of Mayweather's offense, and the speed at which he can throw them, makes each punch that much more effective, because, unlike the clip above, you can't sit there waiting to 'time' his jab.

You might eat something heavy.

Cotto has the best WW jab.

 

No, as much as I don't like pacquiao he was timing Cotto. Compare what emmanuel does in the 1st with the 2nd. He had Cotto's rhythm down by the 2nd and opened a can up.

 

U really cant compare Mayweather's jab to Cotto's jab... Although Cotto's jab packs power.. it doesn't come out fast. It looks like Pac saw him "tuning" it up.. Not taking nothing from Pac.. Good on him... However, that **** wont fly with May. Also, Cotto just stood their flat footed. that tactic only works with fighters you're faster than. That was simply a case of a faster fighter giving a slow fighter a 'head start" and tagging him... I dont know if anyone else noticed but Pac's balance looked kind of iffy and he left himself WIDE THE **** OPEN. He looked like fresh meat for someone like May.. Damn, this fight needs to happen..
