Hatton - keys to possible victory.

2. He must employ a cross armed defence up close as i feel Floyd will pot shot with uppercuts inside.

Although this is so not going to happen, you are spot on.

Actually that's incorrect Larry Holmes once told me if you do cross arm defense on inside you are going to get alot of black eyes from uppercuts.

Actually son that's a well known fact that the cross armed defence is a good antidote for the uppercut on the inside !!!!!!!! doesn't always work but generally does. A few black lumps and bumps and a win , are better than having your head taken off by Floyd's counters , SEE MY POINT ??
When did Larry Holmes "ONCE" tell you this? when u were in kindergarden ?? lol

Here you go.

THE CROSS OVER DEFENSE IS NOT THE BEST SINCE YOU LEAVE YOUR UPPER HEAD OPEN AND EVENTUALLY YOU HAVE TO BE OPEN WHEN YOU DROP YOUR ARMS. YOU ARE OPEN FOR UPPERCUTS AND MORE BLACK EYES.

it may confuse them but after a while your opponnet will see you open up and shot some uppercuts and head shots. A good fighter will adapt to the fight. you don't fight fighters you fight styles.


Thats a quote from Larry Holmes himself.

YES BUT I THINK WITH RICKY'S SIDE TO SIDE HEAD MOVEMENT AND APPLYING THE CROSS ARMED DEFENCE AGAINEST MAYWEATHER will work on the inside.
as for the Larry Holmes QUOTE how on earth can that apply to every fight ? with 2 different fighters ? different divisions ? ............im talking only about THIS FIGHT Hatton Mayweather and my opinion on wot will work , anyway u may not have realised Larry Holmes GREAT fighter that he was , was a trash talker who said alot of BULLSHIT things
