what's going on guys Shane here today
we're going to talk about how to be a
Mayweather cell fighter and what I mean
by that is someone who utilizes the poke
counter a lot and leans back when you
throw an attack so we're going to go
over different strategies and techniques
to beat someone who uses this style okay
before we cover ways to beat someone
uses the poke counter
let's first break it down and try to
understand it talk about Floyd
Mayweather strategy has a very wide base
why because he doesn't need mobile for
work he doesn't chase people around he
likes when his opponents come to him
throw a shot he can evade and count okay
he stands in the Philly shell stance so
the lead arm is down other hand up
protecting the head and then he sticks
his chin out baits his opponent to throw
a punch don't punch right in my chin
right and when they do and they feel
like they got an open shot they throw it
they commit
he pulls he leans back and he doesn't go
straight back if you watch footage he
also goes off to the side but what he
does is he extends his lead arm for two
reasons one because it's a counter
weight counterbalance the weight of my
arm is going to assist me in my movement
back into my punch but also if I keep my
hand up when I lean back there's a
possibility let's say they throw a left
hook that they'll hit my glove and just
like on a heavy bag it's going to assist
into the next punch okay so if I throw a
lead hook to the heavy bag and I miss
off-balance especially if it's a
powerful punch if I hit the heavy bag
you're going to puts like hitting
someone's arm I'm right position to
follow up with more punches okay so you
want them to miss completely when when
you do the POE cannon that's one of the
reasons why you drop your arm and Conor
McGregor does this as well right he
doesn't from a southpaw stance so what
he does is he traps the lead hand he
occupies it you just slaps it he just
touches it touches it and then this
makes his opponent want to throw that
power rear hand when they do they're all
balanced he leans back knee comes back
in with his left straight so it take
away from this is someone pulls on you
they're most likely going to throw a
rear hand straight after doesn't matter
if they're worth of docs are southpaw
okay
cool so let's talk about ways to beat
people like this we're talking about MMA
or a street fight they're sticking their
chin out at me I'm not going to go to
the chin go into the body and go into
the legs I'm going for a takedown right
someone's 6 or 10 ounces hit me
I'm gonna hit them anywhere but leg
kicks alright body kick to the body she
goes for that double leg takedown right
if they're doing this on you and they're
leaning back you're halfway there all I
could do is scoop their legs up from
underneath right so shoot in for that
double leg right hmm
take them down okay for talking about
boxing only just throwing punches then
what I want you to do is utilize your
faints but also go to the body right
they're sticking their chin out thinking
that you're going to go with with a
punch a hook across to the chin go to
the body instead simple super easy right
and you know that they're probably going
to be countering if they're Orthodox
with that right hand
so what I'll say is go with the right
hand to the body but take your head out
of the center line what is that this is
the center line where you're aiming for
my head right now if I go here or I go
here that's out of the center line right
just moving the target away so if I'm
going with a punch to the body I'm going
to get my head out to the left so I see
them sticking the chin out then I'm
going to go and then from there I can I
can come back to where I was or I can
create an angle so I can go across to
the body and step out this way awesome
another thing that I want you to do is
utilize your faints okay get them to
react get them to pull and then you're
one step ahead of them right
you're manipulate your manipulating that
don't play their game okay so if they're
sticking the chin out you've already
noticed that they like the pull they
like the Leanback take the jab
super simple when you think oh you're
though you just look that up just pop it
a little bit the more advanced your
opponent the less you want your feint
today okay so it's just here when they
lean back and they're probably going to
come you know we call it riding the wave
and wait I mean back and you come
crashing right so what we're going to do
is let them crash right into our fists
so if they're going to come back with
that right hand then I'm going to fake
the jab I'm going to take my head out of
the center line I'm going to commit to a
right hand to the face so it looks like
this oh I think I'm facing you it's just
fake take my head out of the center line
as I throw this right straight not going
to stop there why stop with two punches
especially if I landed it right so I can
go fake off lift their head off on the
uppercut this is more time finishing
with a leg kick here right
if it's boxing I'm go with any punches
right so I go fake cross and go upper I
could have hook to the body instead I
can set it right to the body I can come
up or here lift their head up for the
lead hook whatever it may be just
remember you need to commit you need to
step in because if they're leaning back
you need to cover that distance but try
to time it to the point where they lean
back and as they come in for the counter
boom that's when you catch them that's
when there needs milk alright guys
