there's ring generalship, aggression, punches that damage..key word damage...thats pro boxing ..if you're not throwing punches that damage/slow/stop your opponent significantly like floyd was doing in that fight then you better be able to control the majority of the fight for each round which is what he was able to do in the latter half of the fight when he woke up..thats why he won the fight
Breh, Maidana won the rounds he won off aggression and the fact that he did have a couple of punches that were scoring punches. Scoring punches is all that matters. I dunno what ur talking about or where you learned that hitting on the elbows and shoulders are counted as scoring punches or count towards scoring, but whoever told u that was dead wrong. Why in the fukk do you think Floyd is undefeated? The only fights that were close for Floyd where people were hitting his elbows and shoulders, were fights where the opponent also
landed and was extremely aggressive (De la hoya, Cotto, Castillo). De la hoya landed and controlled a lot of the fight until he gassed.
Punch stats from the Maidana fight show that Maidana landed 25 fukking percent of his punches. The first round he threw 100 punches and only landed 26. Now if he only landed 26, and the majority of the round was on the ropes, those elbow, shoulder and arm punches didn't count. You're going to tell me rounds like that a judge is going to give the round to a guy that doesn't land cleanly on the face/head or torso? fukk outta here
His point is if you pound the arm and shoulder you'll lower Floyd's defense...
Yes that tactic won't be scoring points but later on in the fight it could pay off...
Breh I already addressed that. Did you not read my original reply to his post about the lowering defense strategy?
wasn't shyt easy about that win nikka.
