Mayweathers Elbow

[terrorsid]

I'm Feeling Like This Fight Depends On The Ref. And I Say This Because Mayweather Uses That Elbow All The Time In His First Castillo Fight He Lost A Point For It, But Then During The Hatton Fight He Didn't Get Penalized And He Used It The Whole Fight Damn Near.

[Master]

You are always obsessed with Mayweather's elbows.

Are you talking about his elbows or when he pushes off with his forearm?

As much as mosley hugs this is one fight floyd is going to need that elbow. We all know he uses it, and he rarely gets called for it. Instead of fighters complaining they need to find a way around it. Just like bradleys head, b hops whole style, clotteys dome, etc....all these guys use whatever they can get away with, and that's in any sport. The loosers cry about and still take a loss on thier record, and the winners are aware of it and win anyway. If the ref called mosleys hugging and floyds illegal tactics we wouldn't have a fight we'd be paying to watch a ref.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I hope he brings it up with the ref before the fight.

[ono]

It could be worse.

Oh right, they should look to avoid that foul then and train for it? rather than protest?

Should they get sparring partners to stick elbows in their face? Should they ever need to?

The answer is no.

The answer is no.

Or how about training for getting hit while down, like Dirrel-AA

First of all Mayweather either uses the forearm or the elbow to block the right hand from coming overtop in close, he hardly uses the actually elbow as a weapon hardly at all, and he hardly hit Hatton with it.

He likes to use his foreman to make space on the inside so he can throw punches, and I agree it should be penalized, but how he uses his elbow to block shots isn't illegal at all and should be allowed.

This is right. It's the forearm that is the problem.

[ono]

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Yeah its a big problem

[Taeth]

That is the forearm, and I guarantee he didn't throw at Hatton as much as positioned it there. You will see mayweather's forearm in a lot of guys' faces like this when they have him on the ropes, but he doesn't use it as a weapon, he uses it to block the right hand coming over top.

The ropes ain't anywhere near them in that pic. Whacking people with your forearm to avoid right hands is still not on. Look at the pic "Got your left hand tucked under here, perfect, elbow over the top there as you have no hands to block it with"
