Strategies that backfired big time!

[HattonTheHammer]

the daddy of all f*ck ups as gotta be hatton against manny

spent months telling us all about this new found style that included a solid jab, better defence etc, yet the whole time not one single person taught him how to counteract mannys main attribute which is that diving left hand which he counters with every time a fighter trys to lunge in.

ended up getting nailed with it on at least a dozen occasions and was laid flat out by the time the bell was rung for the 2nd!!

Jermain Taylor seemingly NEVER learning from past experiences vs Bernard Hopkins X2 (though he won both, in real life and IMO), Kelly Pavlik x 2 (though a case could be made about the rematch), and recently vs Carl Froch.....can someone either get JT to do roadwork, or stop partying, or just go back to utilizing that jab that used to be so good?!?!?! FFS he never should have lost to Froch OR the rematch to Pavlik.

Definitely. Matter of fact, he shouldn't have even lost the first time to Pavlik skillwise.

If JT stuck and moved the way he was brought up to do then he would still be unbeaten, but time and time again he loads up on the overhand right and he never lays anyone out with it....his career post Hopkins is MOST disappointing
