Please Stop It! There is No Blue Print.

Explain to me how. Castillo can lose the first 5 rounds. Have a point deduction and 2 either way rounds and still win? Just bc Castillo did better on the championship rounds does not mean he should have won. each round worth the same, in case you forgot.

 

A fighter with a good jab can do it. Thing is, Floyd is very good at making you believe that what you are doing isn't working. Most fighters do not realize that they're putting May in a position he doesn't like, so they change their plan. To beat Floyd you need a simple plan that will make him take risks, you got to out-bore him!

If Hoya had been as willing than Floyd to make it a boring fight he could've won this.

 

Big guy with iron chin, stamina, with a big big one punch power is the blue printer. I just don't see anyone outboxing Floyd from 154 and down.

 

This is such a myth. Watch the fight again. Oscar stopped jabbing after the 8th round. Sure, he got countered on occasion, but certainly not enough to stop throwing it all together. Oscar may have been slowing down and stopped throwing it for fear of being countered, but up to that point, he was not being countered often off his jab.

 

yes he was, the jab was not working and he did not win those early rounds. He was not dominating or even looking good. Floyd was picking off the jabs, rolling them, and dodging them while countering.

 

His jab to the shoulder area was annoying May a lot.

Hoya's biggest mistake was to get impatient, to try to give the fans a good fight. That's a noble thing to do, but against Mayweather it is a mistake. Mayweather, like Bernard, focuses on winning fights, not pleasing crowds who don't appreciate skills anyway.

 

No he wasn't and the jab was Oscar's best weapon. Like I said, Oscar was getting countered on occasion, but no where near enough to justify putting it in the holster. I don't know what you're talking about either, after the 8th, that fight was dead even, 4 rds a piece. Oscar stopped using his jab after the 8th and Floyd took over the fight from there on.

 

Good post except for this. Fraudarito wouldn't win a single round against PBF. That limited plodder doesn't have the footwork, handspeed or boxing IQ in order to beat someone like PBF. Not to mention he's counter-puncher's wet dream and has to set his feet to throw. PBF-Margo would be a boxing clinic administered by PBF.:deal

 

:deal

 

My card had Oscar winning the 1 and the 3 and that is it. When I was watching the fight the jab from Oscar was ineffective just like in that Sturm fight. The guy was getting picked apart and by the time the 8th rolled along he was scared, sore, and tired.

 

For the life of me I can't understand why people refuse to see this.:-( I've said the same thing many times but they just don't get it. For the last time Oscar stopped throwing his jab because he was being counterd off it and bothered by PBF's movement.:deal

 

I agree. But there is something in the middle as well. By that I mean that a certain fighter can show which tactic works good against a fighter and in that way can show their weakness.
So a blueprint kind of exists.
Take for example DLH on trinidad. Dlh showed that if you move well and boxed tito, tito can't set up his punches good.
So it kind of exists wether you like it or not.
However I agree that a fighter develops and changes his tactics/strategy. But not all fighters do, take tito as an example.

 

Gatti is light years more skilled than that windmill Margo.
