Maidana figured it out. When Floyd shows you the open face, you have to throw a 1-2 and duck under on the 2. That's how he hurt Mayweather.
With Manny it'll probably be coming in low with a lead left and doubling up on it.
That is honestly the most underrated thing about floyd, he literally has every single punch in his arsonal.Last edited by deliveryman; 03-20-2015, 06:06 AM.

Mayweather's favorite punch?
The rabbit punch for the ladies.
The b1tch slap for the kids
The lead elbow for the boxers.

Originally posted by deliveryman View PostGotta bring more than that IMO. I could see Manny having success with that for a round or two, but honestly how long do you think it will take for floyd to adjust? No doubt he would start throwing a right uppercut if manny did that, a lot like he did against Miguel Cotto.

And wasn't the flowmo argument about Pac's opponents that Roach/Arum cherry pick shot, past prime fighters for Manny to destroy? Why is it different now with a 38 year old Floyd who looked pedestrian in his last few fights?

Trainer Freddie Roach has effectively locked down the Wild Card Boxing Club when he and Manny Pacquiao are going
through strategy on the mitts or during sparring sessions as they prepare for the May 2nd bout versus Floyd Mayweather.
For this fight they have a very detailed game plan versus the sophisticated style they will be facing.
But Roach did divulge this to krikya360.com * "I know what his favorite punch is and I will like it when he uses it
against Manny Pacquiao because Manny... I think the southpaw stance will help him, I think he'll take advantage of it but
it's gotta be precise, it's gotta be timing. It's gotta be almost perfect. I mean, you have no room for error with this fight."
You assume that Roach is talking about Mayweather's straight right*hand. Or perhaps his 'check*hook'. Regardless, this
comes after five years of studying 'Money' on film.
"I'm studying from (Oscar) De La Hoya to now," said the trainer. "I've been doing the more recent stuff lately and I've
seen some things, some mistakes, some habits that he has developed recently. He's not the same as when he fought
Oscar that time. But the similarities are there."
As for the biggest change in Mayweather, Roach answered * "I think he's slowed down quite a bit. I think he has to take
breaks. He can't move fluidly for 12*rounds like he used to. His legs are a problem."
