Canelo a smart dude... he had to make the fight look close like it could go either way or else you know damn well Floydie wouldn't have wanted no parts of ginger.. funny is I think Pac tried that same shyt with Bradley and it backfired. .. but the difference was that for some reason in the canelo/trout fight they were able to see the judges scores for every round... why you think canelo fell back them last few rounds being much less active??
You right he was gassed
praying for a Floyd loss again, breh? This one won't be it

(referring to the IBF naming Sergey Kovalev as his mandatory)
brehs....yall just dont understand the genius of Bernard Hopkins. this guy is the Lex Luthor of boxing. Hopkins vs Kovalev will NOT happen....but this some good P.R. hype bout to take place between Hop, Cleverly, Stevenson, Froch and Kov.
I'm trying to understand this concept of forcing counters instead of waiting for you opponent to do something and then firing back.
I've read the good counter punches bait you to throw a punch they want to counter and which makes it easier to counter.
I know they use feints and give fake openings but to me it would seem that could get in a situation where they are waiting all night for a particular punch to counter.
Or they go from one punch to the next punch like " Ok I just counter the striaght now let me to setup a counter of the hook, then a jab"
It seems that process is a little mechanical idk.
How does it work?

If they so close in size then why couldn't Canelo fight Floyd at 147 then
Surely you aren't saying Floyd is a 154 pound fighter cuz errybody N they moms know he aint
basically a good and effective counterpuncher has to have good reflexes, accuracy, and above average hand spped....if the process seems mechanic to you its because if youre training you do get put through counterpunching drills..do them shyts over and over until its muscle memory
here's a site that explains it well - Counter-Punching
