Canelo was the last fighter that i thought had a chance to make a good fight with floyd
He froze under the lights and couldnt catch floyd.
After canelo all the fights were a joke. No one thought pac was gonna win.
Tbh before canelo i cant remember thinking ādamn floyd might lose thisā. No one though de la hoya was gonna winā¦hatton maybe i dont remember the buildup to that oneā¦ortiz and guerrero were jokes, you could see the speed difference just in the highlight vids loll
No one thought maidana would win but he came the āclosestā since the first Castillo fight.
Hell I remember watching that shit at the bar, hypest fight Iāve been to, maidana was straight mugging Floyd and it took him a minute to figure it out/madaina got gassed.
I want to start up boxing mainly for cardio in 2016, any beginner tips?
the most I have been doing was shadow boxing in a sauna and hitting a bag in the gym, but I need a professional routine
Well Floyd admitted that Canelo punched too hard. He said in the middle of round three or four he blocked a body shot and his elbow dislocated. I think Floyd respected the kidās power. But that kid is you (was younger then) and has never faced someone like Floyd. I mean most people end up looking silly when fighting him.
Maidana showed what could happen if you bully Floyd during their first match, and it was hype as hell. But for some reason a lot of folks still feel they can beat him at his own game.
Floyd ran during his fight with Maidana. If his style was done in other matches, he would of lost. Cotto was doing ok during the early part, he had more combinations but Canelo just dished more damage his shots. Cotto ended up running allot during the later parts but he tried to retaliate to no avail therefore the score went to Canelo. It shows that you canāt just run and remain pending with out throwing something that is damaging because there is just no other way for the judges to point you. Sadly, Mayweather fans are that dumb and just ride along with somebody who is āundefeatedā just so they can feel less like losers that they donāt get how boxing operates. Defensive fighting requires effective retaliation, an example of that is Ali, SRL, and Holly Holm.
It was pretty good fight.
Canelo definitely had the edge but not a huge advantage. Cottoās footwork was nice but you could literally hear the difference in power when Canelo and Cotto exchanged blows. Cotto definitely wobbled a few times, notably in round 8. Cotto really worked hard to protect his chin, I didnāt see him extend it once the entire fight.
What really impressed me most of all was how superb Caneloās defense was, especially for a flat-footed fighter. His weaving was on point and at the times Cotto had to almost overextend to compensate.
Caneloās uppercut game was serious too. He had a lot of good setups. I thought 112-118 scorewas pushing it a little too much in Caneloās favor but regardless he definitely won that match.
If Canelo keeps this up and defeats GGG, his fight against Mayweather could be the only blemish on his record.
Anyone else laughed when the cameras kept cutting away to Cottoās wifeās rack? They did it like 6 times and she started to adjust herself realizing what was going on.
I agree with every but the only O thing. This kid realistically has 8-9 years fighting at a high level (even after his lost he didnāt really take a beaten. No one has really put it on him so longevity at this point doesnāt seem like an issue). Odds are he will lose between now and then, just going by numbers and how boxing usually works.
You make a good point, it all depends on what the next generation of talent can bring. I guess I subconsciously feel thereās been a steady decline in overall talent.
We also donāt know how far Canelo will prolong his career, but his style of fighting isnāt conducive to burnout.
I think the Charlo Brothers, Andrade, Quillen, GGG and Alverez should do their version of the super six we had a while back. It would have problems of course with the Charlo brothers prolly never fighting each other and the weight classes but I am sure they all can make 160.
There is a bunch of talent right there though and that is some shit I would pay for.
I didnāt put Jacobs because that knockout still fresh in my mind, plus with his health problems I donāt want to see anything bad happen to him lol. Quillen should run through him in a few weeks anyway. I donāt care to see Lara or trout anymore.
Canelo with that uppercut tho.
Guess he really did learn from Mayweatherā¦ROFL!
If you are doing it for cardio, then Iād just find a caridio boxing class and join that. If you want to get into actual sparring then you are going to need to get in shape for that. You will also need a great deal of one on one time with a coach to get you ready for sparring. For me the hardest part was training to get hit in the stomach. Also if you spar much you are probably going to get your nose broken. But boxing will let you know your limits and how tough you really are. Everyone is a tough guy until they get punched in the face, lol.
Like an MKII Shao Kahn doing an uppercut on you
@āShadow Aceā - I would recommend finding a decent gym by you. when I started, I had to do a 5-7 rounds of jump rope as a warm up, then 5 rounds of shadow boxing, then 15 rounds of Heavy bag. Also our coach only did 30 second intervals instead of a minute. But I would recommend getting a nice jump rope and start with that until you find a gym and a coach.
Good luck man.
Also I think what casual boxing fans want is something like Gatti/Ward trilogy. That was a battle for sure, but also look at how they looked after the fight. I can see both ends of why people donāt like Floydās boxing, but in reality dude is that good. Its easy for people to say he is running, but no one has been able to beat his boxing style. I appreciate Floyd as a boxer in the sense that its interesting to watch how text book he is with boxing. I mean any coach would love to have him as their fighter. Coaches want fighters who can hit without being hit. I think people get frustrated at how they see him in the media, so they equate that to being a shitty boxer.
Anyways Iām done. This will always be a classic match.
Ofc canelo learned from floyd only an idiot wouldnt learn from a loss.
Like ortiz
Theres no reason canelo should have to move up when hes the bigger draw the A side he makes more ppv revenue he has less losses etc.
God i hate boxing politics sometimes. This fighrs not gonna get made lol
lmfao after that last GGG fight and the buysā¦canelo has the power.
@āShadow Aceā
Gotch bible
Road work
Dedicated gym
But for you and your vain needs, do cardio boxing or kickboxing for the workout without the grit or the pain
