I've been watching some of PBF's older fights on youtube and I have to say I think that he has the best left elbow in the history of boxing.
what like u mean his defence , like the shell style rolling the shoulder and leaning away from the punches?
its a pretty slick style near impossible to master!! and he does rock at it... and i think there are downsides to it tho.... one- when your too close and you wants to separate them you tend to have the reaction of kinda puting your elbow out and pushing them away... a few people keep telling me he throws elbows so i have to explain to them....
and also at the higher wieghts hes got caught by some of the fighters with more awkward styles...
but it is a really great thing when your good like floyd is.. it appears that his chin is unprotected and when they shoot you roll the shoulder and lean away etc and come back with a right hand counter
its really great to watch floyd - phillip ndou when ndou is flurrying with all he has while floyd is against the ropes making him mist every single shot and the crowd is going wild thinking floyd is getting over powered or something... but not one of about 20 punches landed...
peace
;D The refs don't usually call it, its a good tactic if they don't call it, gives him room to get off with punches.Quote:

I love watching fighters use the shoulder roll, Toney, PBF, Hopkins uses it a little. But I think Killersheep was talking about how PBF uses his left elbow to push off a little on the inside to get punching room, I don't know maybe I'm totally wrong ???
i'd call it illegal use of the elbow.
yeah i've see him use that left elbow and forarm alot of time.
The ref called it in the Corrales fight, so then Mayweather used his fist for the left hook instead, didn't help Corrales that much
yeah i remember alot of cats on here were claiming pbf WAS gonna get murdered by gatti ahahhaha.
ner its not illegal use... he can be warned about it... cso he doesnt snap it out it jus pushes it out fairly slowly and makes room to shoot from angles!!Quote:

That was more of love for Gatti and hate for Mayweather then smart betting because they were praying that Gatti would land that ONE HARD SHOT to beat Mayweather.Quote:
