Mayweather-Marquez: Round-by-Round
Comments
As much as I despise him, you can’t deny his skills.
Mayweather’s boxing skills = A+
Mayweather’s human being skills = F-
Now we have to listen to his mouth. Ugh.
You despise him because he’s telling you the truth. Now listen, you hear that, thats 400 years of Brothas having the last laugh in this country. No amount of fabricated National/cultural pride, song singing, training, piss drinking, nor thinly veiled racism will ever help you. Your fighting God on Earth son. The Royal Bloodline from Heaven dominates all Homanids. Dont you know that yet essay? LOL
Lito – you’re an idiot.
400 years of “brothas” having the last laugh in this country? What the hell does that mean?
And the last I checked this country has only been around for 233 years.
If there’s a racist here, it’s you.
Yes, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. indeed proved that he’s back and that he’s near the top of boxing’s food chain once again. He outclassed a very game Marquez and thoroughly showed that he was at a different level by dismantling the Mexican fighter, getting more than half of his punches in, and showing impeccable defense.
But I believe that it’s too early to say that he’s once again back to his top P4P throne because Marquez was an awful fighter that night. Though Mayweather was insanely “good”, Marquez’s terrible showing made him appear insanely “great”.
Juan Manuel Marquez was biting off more than he could chew in terms of Mayweather’s towering skill, speed, size, and defense. Marquez, apart from being slower, older, and weaker, lacked the following, which further led to his downfall:
1. Head movement – His face was always a sitting duck for Mayweather’s hands.
2. Good footwork/movement – He didn’t show different angles to Mayweather. Heck, he didn’t move much at all and coupled with no head movement, made him a non-moving target for a very fast and accurate Mayweather.
3. Mix-up of combinations – At any one time, he either chose to go to the head or to the body. He didn’t mix combinations and his attack was thus very predictable for the defense of Mayweather.
All of these, I believe, would be taken care of by Manny Pacquiao and his great trainer and tactician, Freddie Roach. Pacquiao is like a bobblehead with his head movement, extremely elusive as he showed with his fight against Oscar dela Hoya, and mixes up his combinations very well, especially with his unparalleled hand speed.
Pacquiao-Mayweather will be one of, if not the greatest fight in all of boxing and will once and for all prove who the #1 P4P boxer of this generation is!
