By M. Khan: Here we go. Floyd Mayweather is not only a skilled fighter but also a fighter that thinks. It’s like he is sitting on a umpire chair at a Tennis Match. He sees everything.
Note: The key to being a good boxer is to put yourself in that situation, where you can also see what your coach “is supposed to be seeing.”
Its also called “fighting in a higher class.”
With that being said, lets do what so many has done before and did not succeed.
Study the fighting style of Mayweather. NOTE!, I said fighting style and not boxing style.
There is two styles that Mayweather brings into the ring.
1. The boxer: he boxes when he is standing in front of you, trying to counter punch. His counter can be a start of a combination
2. The Fighter: e fights, when he on the ropes (where he ends up a lot of times) with his left shoulder defense of his chin, giving him ample time to hit you with his right, when you miss, leave yourself open or get frustrated
Mistakes made by most of his past challengers. Most of Mayweather’s challengers thinks that putting pressure on Mayweather and getting him on the ropes, will eventually give them a chance to connect with something that can effectively change the fight.
Many past opponents will not accept the truth, but it is so they really believed that they could do better than the last guy and get that punch in that would make the difference…
PREPARATION AND TRAINING FOR MAYWEATHER. This is not theory, It’s facts.
1. First as a challenger accept that exerting pressure on Floyd and getting that one punch in theory is not going to work
2. If you are a southpaw, you must might ORTHODOX when you are in close. Train to develop a strong right punch. “South Paw that can do this, will get an EASY win”
3. If you are ORTHODOX, you must train 15 rounds, only fighting with your left hand. You must learn to punch from every directions with your left hand like Gerry Cooney. Study Cooney’s art of fighting with the left hand. Left hook to the body and head will be the key to victory
4. Train Hard
Keys to victory. WAKE UP, ROACH!
We will fight Floyd, the way he wants us to fight him and beat him at it!
Floyd wants to keep his left shoulder at the center of your at all times, so that he can use the shoulder to protect his chin and not giving you a target.
This tactic is good from Floyd. When you are fighting in the middle of the ring on the ropes, YOU CAN GET HIM, you will!
1. Do not fight in the middle of the ring.
2. Move to the right at all times right hand high protecting yourself from a left hook…he will try it.
3. You intentions is always to use the right hand as a fake. You do not want to hit him with your right. That’s not really the punch you are trying to land. Like most of his past opponents, WHEN you do hit him with the right, hit high on the head. BUT most of all HARD right HOOKS to his shoulder to get him off balance.
4. Your fighting game is to get him to the ropes and never level up with him, meaning face to face. You must always make sure that his left shoulder is almost in the middle of your chest. EVEN when he is on the ropes. Never stand in front of him…fight him from his side.
5. That where you bring in the so called Gerry Cooney’s attack. All left hook. Try to win the fight only with let hooks to the body and head.
DIG low, maintaining…your position at the side of him. When he tries to turn to be face to face with you…right hook his should, so he falls back into place.
6. In the later rounds, say the 6th round, he will fold from the LEFT attack or forced to open for your RIGHT.
You cannot get confused and think that a Mike McCullum left hook is what I am talking about. I am talking about a Gerry Cooney’s Style of throwing the left hand from very many directions.That he could beat you all night with one hand.
The person that has that type of attack will beat Mayweather.
Manny Pacman is the only one that can fight Mayweather in the middle of the ring. He has the footwork to position himself and get Mayweather with straight left hands, even though he CAN be countered. He will hit Mayweather hard. This will be the difference.
PREDICTIONS:
Bradley vs. PacMan
Big fight calls for good conditioning. It also calls for your A Game. Bradley is strong and will be on fire. But you cannot brawl with a guy like PacMan, who can knock you out with both hands. Not saying that Bradley cannot hit hard. I think some underestimate his power and he can brawl, but he never brawled with someone like PACMAN. You got to really want it.
I have seen guys like Paulie Malignaggi knock people out that they were not supposed to. ONE PUNCH KNOCKOUTS, not that Malinaggi did, but others have done.
Bradley is not fighting a Lamont Peterson or a Devon Alexander. You are fighting a guy that can hit you with three power shots in one combination.
PacMan in the 4th ROUND by stoppage!
