block block boom then relax his opponent would relax and then floyd mayweather
probably the best defensive fighter of all time undefeated in 50-0 on this video
i'm going to go through some of his best tactical moves that he did in fights to win
fights and have success to be known as one of the greatest of all time
my name is tony jeffery's olympic bronze medalist boxer former undefeated professional seven times
national champion european champion and today on this video i'm joined by my business partner
boxing education expert glenn holmes so Floyd Mayweather is was amazing at defending but as well you
don't have success in boxing just by having great defense he was a master at counter punching and
one of the best ever and floyd's boxing style and his stance was pretty unique so floyd would have
one hand here his other hand by his belly button and this was his style here and he
relied a lot on his reactions he had great reactions and how he would defend the jab he
would parry it with his back hand and then if you defend the one two he'd use his shoulder to roll
again with his chin tucked down so he's there and then if someone thrown the one two hook he would
defend it similar there one two hook and he would block that hook with his rear hand then what he
was great at countering he was great at countering that lead hook so if it is a one two hook slowly
one two hook he's there he's got his weight on his front foot he would fire back with that
little hook to the body or even the hook to the head a little bit faster it would look like this
again so that was one of the methods that i used for countering as soon as that punch
landed boom it would fire back and as well he would love to counter with the uppercut
when someone was throwing that punch and if you've watched much of floyd mayweather and
studied them when he was on the ropes he would be back here waiting for that hook to come
to the body and he'd throw it uppercut and it would kind of look like this so
because if you notice when someone throws that hook to the body where they open the open
right there and you can come up and my coach used to always tell me about this defense and
he used to say it it's kind of like someone pressing the button if someone presses that
button on your arm your elbow wherever it is that's to tell you throw that hand so as
soon as that button gets pressed boom pop it up and the way that floyd did that was great you
got so much speed in that now when floyd was fighting a southpaw what he would love to do
he would be in with the southpaw and we'll be playing with the lead hand here he would block it
and then fire that straight right hand down the middle really fast and he would look for
speed with that rather than power see a lot of people will throw that rear hand
and then try and look for power when you look for power it makes it you punch a little bit
slower he wasn't that bothered about the power he would be here block block boom and throw it
out as fast as that well much faster than that and that's why we have success with it and one of the
famous defensive moves that he was known for was his pullback encounter again with that super
fast right hand and this was an orthodox or a southpaw when they throw that jab
he would pull back one and punch that back hand forward as fast as he could so he would look for
speed and not power so we're here he would wait that opponent to throw the jab and over extend and
fall short of it he would lean back and whip that right hand in real fast a little bit faster now
working on speed not power floyd said 90% of his fights were won because of his brain because of
his boxing iq where most fighters win it because they're big the strong the tough he said he's not
bothered about being a tough guy he wants to win it with his brains and getting these opponents
to do what he wants them to do then winning the fight comfortably another thing floyd was the
genius that was attacking his opponent when his opponent wasn't ready so he will be here
with his opponent ready ready ready he would then relax his opponent would relax and then papa papa
and then he'd attack and get his opponent when he wasn't expecting it and if you think about it
that is the best time to attack when they're not expecting it so you've got to make them
think that you're not going to attack and then attack and then you will have success guys if
