how chino can pull off an upset

[J_Undisputed]

It will take a very capable fighter to pull of the floyd win. Im not sure chino can train for it in one short camp, but Everyone has flaws though and bad habits that can be exploited. The thing about floyd is he's better defensive fighter than most and a better offensive fighter than most. The secret to beating floyd is to catch him in transition between offense and defense. It's a small window but its there to be exploited.

If you sit back and try to counter him, you're going to be too slow and he wont be there for the return. So he'll take up real estate in the center of the ring and start picking at you with pot shots and then the crowd gets into it. If you go on the offensive and back him up, hes going to try to pick you off on the way in and then retreat into his shell along the ropes. This is where most fighters get greedy and stay too long. Floyd will then change back to offense and put that forearm into you and push you out just enough to sneak in that punch with the in other hand and then unload on you or he'll clinch and then the ref separates you which is a nice easy transition back to offense in the middle of the ring where he has room to work.

You need a fighter that has some head movement and decent footwork (easier now that his legs got older)to corral floyd and push him back. The key is not to get greedy. Just move your way in. Jab.. double jab and use your straight punches. That will get his feet together and his upper body in that cross block position. Nows the time to work your hooks. This gets the crowd and the judges on your side. Now comes the unconventional part that noone gets... Step out before he finds you and zero's in on you and changes back over into offense in his mind because he thinks its safe. He'll follow you out looking to even to get back some of those points he's given away. Body still in defense, mind now on offense. That's when you have to exchange and step into him with your straight punches. You're confusing him and dictating the pace of the fight. Its not a conscious choice to him so he can't change it. He'll either before forced to stay in the shell and let you rack up points or come out and expose himself in transitions.

It's an the boxing equivalent of the off speed pitch. Your body's trying to react to thoughts at the same time. Everyone's vulnerable in transition. few people have seen it with floyd because he controls when and where it happens by dictating the pace of the fight. All it takes is a momentary lapse in concentration. You can either wait for it to happen and try to take advantage of it or find a way to trigger it.

He needs to take his hunting rifle to the ring, fully loaded, because there is nothing he can do legally for a better chance..

I bet Floyd is licking his chops at the thought of fighting this punching bag. This is the kind of fight where Floyd will be able to display everything in his arsenal and he's going to be all offense..
