    Nice breakdown its a 50/50 fight Floyd is obviously better defensively, but Sergio has a good boxing IQ for being a semi slick hard hitting southpaw. It looked as if Barker would be a tough nut to crack and Sergio would win a hard fought unimpressive decision, but he managed to punch around Barkers tight guard and finished the fight on one punch vs a naturally bigger fighter. Victor is alot more come forward type doesn't have the slickness of Sergio and doesn't jab as much as Sergio does. Sure I think Floyd eventually would time Sergios jab with his lead right, but Sergios a combination puncher too with a beautiful jab to the body and deadly with both hands including the right hook, a punch Floyd had trouble vs Mosley and Judah. Anybodys fight.

    :thumbsup good point. This fight is definately 50/50

    You're right about all of that. I think Floyd's footwork combined with his high guard (similar to high Winky used to do it) will prevent him from getting caught too much around the guard and with combos.
    Sergio's best punch to look for is that right hook counter over Floyd's left hook (since Floyd throws it with his elbow down)

    "I think Miguel Cotto has been watching me for a very, very long time. Miguel Cotto had a chance to sit at the Top Rank [Gym] when we both were fighters at Top Rank, and he used to sit right there and watch me train every day, watch me box. Even some of his movement, I see it comes from me. I'm thankful that fighters can pick up stuff from me and use it and be successful. He's a solid guy. He's a good fighter," Mayweather told reporters in Los Angeles.

    Ive always thought that someones lack of power is just due to lack of technique and this video shows it. Thanks for sharing!.

    :thumbsup no problem. I think improved balance helps a lot too, but that kinda goes hand and hand with technique also
