(VIDEO) Mayweather vs Broner

Broner was clearly winning, but Escobedo was still boxing OK.

He was aiming specifically for the shoulder. He wasn't trying his chin. He was using the jab to the shoulder to set the right hand up over the top. Broner saw this and went to the high guard, and Escobedo was shooting it right through the center.

Broner didn't adapt though. He went back to the outside shoulder roll guard, and Escobedo went right back to jabbing the shoulder to set the right hand up. Escobedo was landing pretty much at will because his work rate was so low. Whenever he threw the jab, he landed.

 

I really want to see if Broner can fight on the back foot. IMO that will be the deciding factor with how goo he really is going to be.

 

This is interesting. Puts things into perspective, he hasn't adapted the shoulder roll defense very long, but he has become pretty good with it within a few years. He will only improve with it of course.

 

I'm gonna say this after researching the first three rounds, now firstly Escobedo didn't land anything at will, he missed more jabs than he landed, most were picked off by Broners gloves, secondly the jab is the easiest punch to land in boxing especially when you're only throwing jabs, last Escobedo didn't look terrible early he stood firm somewhat but he was punished in all three rounds, you're gonna get hit, but Broner limits taking punches more than his opponent and wins, at the end of the day that's all that matters...

 

Escbedo's jab was landing throughout the rounds, I don't like counting punches, as it's open to interpretation, but his jab was landing clearly.
