    You know what I'm talking about? Floyd does it all the time: he'll lead with his straight right hand, and then swoop his head "under and back to the other side"?

    It just feels so right practicing it. . . Cause your body weight is focused to the left (if you're orthodox), and then it feels "balanced" to sweep your weight back to the right. . .

    It takes practice, but this is a very good move to master! It could also serve good use in a street fight. . . Lead with the right hand, keeping your head "down and to the left", and then pull it across and under your body after launching the straight right. . .


    Note: Hopkins also did it against Pascal quite a few times. . . Really wiped his nose with it!

    Also, you can practice it with the lead left hook. . . Swoop your head and body "under, and across" back to the left after firing that left hook, causing your body weight to be focused on the right.

    If you maintain balance, it's not at all a bad habit. The move works for him.

    I know the one from the Ortiz fight. My friend was saying its kind of a shoulder roll. He was rolling against Mosley too. Is he right?

    That youtube vid called Mayweather top ten tricks shows what I mean.

    Good little trick to use against dummies like Tree. Cotto will probably have it figured out early on though.

    I don't box, but is not the same as Manny's 'right hook, roll under' that he throws from the southpaw stance?

    Roy Jones did the same move off a lead right hand (only better)

    ask Leon and Hook! this is one of my favorite moves to use :deal

    edit: also have you ever tried to go the other way. I don't even bother, because it's too much for me
