    I actually tried this in sparring lol..

    I got the pull part alright, avoided most of the other guy's punches.

    But it was the counter part that was tricky to do.
    Mind you I sparred with a taller, lankier guy when I tried the pull counter lol :think


    I think it takes tremendous reflexes and lots of repetition in practice to actually develop muscle memory in order to be consistently effective with it. Especially being able to counter right after you pull.. while avoiding getting countered yourself in the process haha.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr is a very gifted athlete who took defensive boxing to another level.

    That and he worked his butt off to hone and refine his skill sets.

    Canelo did it against Cotto. This was the most memorable moment of the fight, so I think you'll be able to find it yourself.

    because its extremely hard to do. most fighters dont have that type of speed to pull it off
