Against Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero Saturday evening, it absolutely was Floyd Mayweather who most often exuded the characteristics of a spectre. Whenever the lanky, robust Guerrero thought he had something going on offense...POOF! It was gone. In his inaugural 2013 effort, Mayweather yet again revealed he's the very best work and protection in the sport of boxing today. Sure, his crime was as usual brilliant. Our friends at Compubox told us he related on an incredible 60 percent of his power images. And yes, Mayweather'sAastoundinglyAfast fingers were on full display. So, also, were his long right-hand leads followed closely by artfully responsible dodges. It certainly was antique stuff from the pound-for-pound master, but anyone who follows the fight game closely will inform you Mayweather'sAtremendouslyApuzzlingAstylea'the the one that confuses opponents who find nothing but air while the success lands virtually at will withAlaser-likeAprecisiona'starts with the gifted technician's patented safety and deft footwork. How good is his security? Guerrero stumbled a 19 percent of his blows overall and that was two percent a lot better than fighters' did on averageAagainstAMayweather for his career. It's wonderful stuff. Mayweather was right in front of Guerrero for many of the 36-minute experience Saturday night. To the surprise of many, the welterweight arrived on the scene of his cornerAseeminglyAstationary. But Mayweather only seemed to be a target to Guerrero. He wanted it like that. It offered courage to Guerrero when he must have had concern, and it set Mayweather in excellent position to land blows when and where he desired to land them. Mayweather'sAincredibleAfootwork relies upon something really: stability. His feet are wide enough to allow him to strike with real power but never too wide for him to becomeAimmobile. Even when he's standing right facing you, he's nearly impossible hitting square. Guerrero had some success landing in the early times, but he probably hardly won even one. He landed several great table pictures on Mayweather in the first two times and seemed to be on his solution to aAcompetitive experience. But Mayweather's footwork andAdefenseAwere what they always are: perfect. He remained in front of Guerrero as much as he needed. Guerrero would swing and swing and swing; Mayweather would duck, dodge and parry. Guerrero would come forward, Mayweather would escape or proceed to the side or hit him twice before it was known by him. Mayweather's blows were sharp and clear. He had shift adequate for Guerrero's punches to whiz by harmlessly while strafing the brave opposition with real force. Perhaps the mostAsuccinctAway to say it is just this: Mayweather wherever he wanted to be was, whenever he wanted to be there. When he wished to maintain front of Guerrero, there he was. When he desired to be around him, or to the side or over the ring from him, there he was again. There he was in perfect position to complete it, when he wanted to attack Guerrero with the right hand or perhaps a left hook. It was but for a moment, for when Guerrero may answer what was happening on the chess board, Mayweather's feet had already placed him in place for another two moves. It absolutely was an ideal exemplory instance of how good the enigmatic winner really is. Mayweather doesn't only have expertise. He is more than that. He's a brilliant tactician who uses impeccable timing and scholarly technical knowledge. Skill could possibly get you much, ask Roy Jones, Jr., but Mayweather's self-professed work and determination are tangible commodities. He's worked immensely hard to become great at almost all facets of the science, and it's you can forget evident than in what he does along with his research and protection. It carried the day for the 36-year-old superstar who remains unbeaten in 44 professional prizefights. Once again,AMayweather revealed why he is considered by many strike commentators the elite fighter in the sport. He's the most effective defender in the game, and he understands ita'now Guerrero does, too.
