In what might be one of boxing’s most dominant performances, we take a look at a less commonly acknowledged aspect of Floyd Mayweather’s near flawless Philly Shell.
.
Floyd is near perfect at medium and long range yet near unknown on the inside. Simply put, he doesn’t fight there. For a defensively inclined fighter, perhaps its too chaotic, you have to fight too perfect to not take damage, but what’s more interesting here is how he avoids it. In this short, we cover just one of many ways he does this: his elbows.
.
Marquez is well known for his well timed right hand, a punch that has sent some of the best to the mat, but not Floyd. @floydmayweather effortlessly shoulder rolls Marquez’s most lethal weapon and flares his elbow upward winning a handful of benefits:
.
1. Creating distance. Floyd, seemingly looking to avoid the ropes in this bout, stands his ground, rolling the overhand right of a mauling Marquez. To reset the distance, Floyd flares his elbow, pulling up to reset Marquez back to mid range. This has another effect:
.
2. Destabilizing. In moments were Floyd is entrenched in with Marquez, creating space with his elbow simulteanously destabilizes Marquez, pushing him backward out of the pocket.
.
3. Obstructing. Floyd’s flared up elbow completely obstructs Marquez’s famous right hand. Its seen time and time again throughout the fight, but perhaps no clearer than the first clip in this short.
.
Even if Floyd was always supposed to win against a great, smaller fighter, he didn’t just physically dominate Marquez, he completely outboxed and nullified him. The silver lining in many mismatches, be it skill, weight, or otherwise is the chance to see a fighter’s complete and unadulterated skill set. In this aspect, Floyd did not disappoint.

#OnThisDay 2001:
WBC & Lineal Super Featherweight Champ Floyd Mayweather puts 24-0 record on the line in Las Vegas vs. undefeated 33-0 hard hitting knockout artist Diego Corrales. “Pretty Boy” turns in a virtuoso, career-best display & stops “Chico” in the tenth. That check left hook was a thing of beauty all night; sharp and masterful. (Part 2)
