He’s already on the list Fam, I got you!
@@BoxingGems good looking out
💪🏾
This fight was such a high level chess match
Big facts!

Another crazy thing about this fight is that this was only Floyd's second fight at 154 if I'm not mistaken. Floyd was able to withstand what appears to me to be a strength disadvantage as well as more punishment than usual. Guy wasn't just brilliant, but had a chin and was tough too
Cotto did everything he possibly could as perfectly as he could. He fought the fight of his life… but Floyd is Floyd
That intro will never get old 🔥
💪🏾
Why this don't have more likes, is...tragic, but not beyond me...most people are too lazy to like Floyd, for one. There are many others, but I'll keep it there.
Really? Cos i skip over it
Yea to me this was one of Floyd's most underrated performances. Cotto's too..this was a great fight. Side note. Could you do a break down of toney vs barkley. I think that would be a good one. Appreciate you homie.
Thanks fam. I appreciate you for rockin with me! Suggestion noted!
All true!
i give Floyd top marks for this fight 100%. It's among his best wins without a doubt. Love Cotto and he came prepared for this one. Great high level technical boxing on display.
Floyd hit Cotto with that right hook so many times in that fight Cotto's whole left side of his head was purple
Floyd's head hunting made perfect sense in the middle of the ring. But if he'd have tagged cottos gut a bit more when he was working from the ropes cottos jabs would never had been a issue plus cotto would have drained out way sooner after about 9 or so early thru to the mid rds of firm 6's to the midsection. And cotto would've still had that high guard up in the center of that ring but it seemed like Floyd really wanted to prove to him that he wasn't anywhere near his level.
Easily my favorite floyd fight he was so dominant here
I watch this fight often. In the version I usually watch the commentary is very good. They mentioned the tricky jab set up to set up the right hand you used in this video. The one at 3:10. Some of this stuff you have to really know what you looking at. Especially at normal speed. Props.
Do you remember on what channel it's on? Also do they have more floyd fights on there with good commentary?
@@PutridPenguinPootsdazn
379 views for such an amazing breakdown/video?? Keep this up and you will make it big time man!! trust me
I appreciate that fam!
I could watch Floyd fight all day. Nice work.
🙏🏾
No lie, that 1-4-5 combination is going in my toolkit. A brilliant combo. Many coaches fear teaching the rear hook because they feel fighters can use it and be put out of position, but in both boxing and kickboxing it can be a beautiful set up for the lead hand hook or uppercut, lead leg kick for kickboxing. Great breakdown bro! 👊🏽
Thanks Jonnie!
2-3-2 is Floyd's best combo
In the locker room after the fight Floyd said that was his toughest fight but in the later years he retracted that statement 😂. I like how Cotto stuck with the long tube socks most of if not all of his career 🧦
I believe he still goes back and forth with who is the best or who is the toughest. Cotto put up a great fight. One of the most entertaining money Mayweather fights no doubt
@@BoxingGems i've heard him say throughout the years corley, augustus, cotto and the most recent... pacquiao. time to reflect tends to make anyone reconsider/reevaluate something. there was never a fight mayweather was really facing a real possibility of losing. (though some will say pre-fight injured floyd vs castillo 1 was a fight he should have lost... i disagree as the rounds don't add up for a castillo victory. just like the maidana fight; if floyd lost some rounds... he lost. that's not how scoring works though.)
Funfact. Although Cotto had more success than a lot of other opponents this was more Mayweather's doing than Cotto. This fight was right before he had to do a couple of months in jail and because of that he wanted to give the fans an exciting fight to remember. He was well aware of the criticism of him being a "boring fighter" and he still wanted to be considered a PPV draw upon his release. He purposely went into this fight with the mentality that he was going to bang with Cotto as opposed to being a primarily defensive fighter. It was genius and it worked. That's not to take anything a way from Cotto who was a hell of a fighter and he sure did capitalize on Floyds aggression. Much respect to both of them and their careers.
I loved this fight. top level boxing skills on display by both men. Floyd won clean, and Cotto made it more competitive than Floyd had seen in years (which made it funner to watch). Floyd pulled away the final 3 stanzas and showed more offensive activity in this fight than had become usual for him. Would have been interesting if Cotto could have found a way to bring back that vaunted body left hook, he had largely abandoned it at this point in his career. Realistically Floyd would have blocked it with the shell even if he had it on display. Nevertheless excellent fight, great win for Floyd.
Rewatching your vids. Great analysis. I learn something every time
Great fam! Glad to hear
Great break down as always
another gem chief, thank you
Much appreciated fam and thanks for always tuning in!
Love these!!!
You should do one of pernell Whitaker! Love your channel man I recommend it to everyone who claims to love the sweet science!
Already!

You bring a whole new spark to watching fights you are achieving your stated goals my friend.

Thanks for watching fam
Boxing masterclass...Dope!
💪🏾
You knew the assignment 💪🏽🔥
💪🏾
Great vid brotha✅
Thanks again fam! 💪🏾
One of the best chess match fights I’ve seen. A masterpiece 👌
Good breakdown
You doing a great service for those who appreciate the methodical and "x's and o's" if you well its an appreciation and love of the craft and shows through your videos
Definitely appreciate that fam 💪🏾
i watched the whole thing and ima drill things tommorow lol, the t/p dance is on the menu, thx again
My man’s! The triangle step vs the pendulum step was present all throughout that fight. Best to train either in your shadow boxing or in sparring.
Nice touch to get two legends like Buffer and Jr in the vid.
*Lennon Jr
Already here🔥🔥🔥
💪🏾
Great video
Thanks fam! 💪🏾
Another one . Good shit bro you got the brain for this shit
Thanks for showing your appreciation again fam! Much love!
Bro, I'm addicted to these videos like crack. I can't lie, I feel like pookie from new jack city as Im binge watching your shit
😂😂😂 much love fam
So cold
Well done Sir
Thanks fam!
Cotto gave him hell and, in my opinion, was Floyd’s toughest fight. (Floyd / castillo 1 is up there too), but man Floyd’s ring IQ is something else hands down. Terrence Crawford is another who can adapt like that on the fly throughout the fight in the midst of all the adrenaline and chaos. Ur breakdowns, homie, are outstanding and best best thing I like is there is no bias….firm but fair. Cheers big dawg from southern Cali 🍻👊
🔥🔥🔥🔥 do shakur Stevenson next
Already brokedown Shakur fam. th-cam.com/video/kKvTqAZzyvs/w-d-xo.html
@@BoxingGems I know that you also did Floyd 5 times I seen that u do him you could do a different fight
Suggestion noted fam.
a great high level fast paced technical match up I'd love to see a breakdown of is Loma vs Linares. I was so hyped for that fight, and it lived up to expectations for me. With Loma not being a major power puncher the climate was right for both men to really display their best skills and they both truly did, and Loma pulled it out the way great fighters do.
It makes the total package of the Mayweather gym seem like genius akin to Russian wrestling or Cuban boxing the difference is they are both institutions and the Mayweather gym is an institution of one the one and only TBE…. It was always a gift when Floyd fought if you understood what you were watching….
Facts
Masterpiece! The man threw a throwaway uppercut! Who does that
You should do James Tony next! That was my dude! Another great shell fighter, although he got destroyed by Roy 😞
Lights Out won’t be next but soon. Loma next
Conditioning crazy🤦🏾♂️
I can't my man said step in the name of love
😂😂😂
Genius
I was throughly impressed with Cotto, very cerebral fighter, even though he lost he still fought good against Floyd, Floyd is a great cerebral fighter, one of the best I’ve seen
U a beast
Much appreciated fam
The 🐐 💰 May
💪🏾
Bro did you ever make the pros vs cons of fighting with rhythm and fighting without rhythm video?
Nope, still on the list tho
People don't realize that if I recall, Floyd besides having a prison sentence hanging over his head after the fight, was not well going into this fight and lost weight after the weigh in. He had to really bear down and gut this one out as Cotto gave an excellent showing himself. Hit Floyd with a beautiful left hook that left Floyd with a swollen jaw post fight. You can clearly see it in the interviews.
Do the Guerrero fight.. grand finale
Canelo then Pacman and the series is done. I’ll do RG afterward Fam. I got you eventually
🥊🥊
💪🏾
This man surgical
Do shakur next
Already done. th-cam.com/video/kKvTqAZzyvs/w-d-xo.html
This, or J. Manuel Marquez, as his best work, as Money Mayweather,...Gatti, Corrales, or Philip N'Dou, as his best work ever...Emmanuel Burton as his most overlooked, but pivotal performance ever....what'd'yall think?...
I think ok head told Shane in the corner during their fight that what made Floyd special was his conditioning
I remember that Naazim Richardson.
Was you able to do something with the canelo fight link Brodi?
Haven’t even started yet fam but I have a plan to get it out with no problem.
@@BoxingGems RRRRRAGGGGGHHHHH! Over 10 minutes brodi!💯 Lol I just finished it. Might be your best work yet.
I saw you explain the triangle step, I appreciate you doing that man you really take our requests into mind when making these. What can I say you had bits of everything in here from technical explanation (T-step) to mentioning "level changes" to elite level frame v control (your Chavez video) clashes, and more. I appreciate the hard work you do to educate us on the sweet science of Boxing as an art. *And* you used round 5, idk if it was cuz I asked or you already had it planned but all praise goes to your decision man. Speaking of RD 5: That's my favorite round of Boxing. I consider it the greatest round of Boxing. I know many or maybe even most will say its Hagler/Hearns rd1. In my eyes thats the runner up- but nothing can top the sheer expertise and skill demonstrated from both Floyd and Cotto in rd5. Hagler/Hearns was more fireworks than subtleties. I'm not knocking it either there's room for everything in Boxing, that's what makes this sport so great.
I tried to make it obvious that I take your feedback and apply it to the vid. Truthfully I’m only explaining a portion of what’s going on because their is so much happening in a frame. So if you want something specific within the vid, I’ll do that. To explain everything that’s going on would be three times as many freezes and words. You mentioned you wanted multiple rounds so I extended. You mentioned you want skill vs skill so I pointed some out. You mentioned you thought Cotto did well (and I concur) and put some of that in the video. I also want everybody to understand that boxing ain’t a game and you’re going to get punched in the face no matter what. Making these vids is my therapy. Showing my subs what’s really happening and expanding boxing knowledge is my pleasure! Glad you liked it fam
@@BoxingGems I'm glad you genuinely take us into consideration when making these man. Real talk. I know Boxing ain't a game, if I keep watching your videos I'm a mess around and go get my ass kicked trying do this shit at a gym lol. That speaks to just how in depth you go with this stuff. You giving people false confidence out here!
😂😂😂 Id encourage the gym fam. They shouldn’t just let you go in and spar. Everybody has to realize I’m showing world Championship fighters here and it takes a lifetime of training to do a lot of this stuff (especially with Floyd).
Miguel cotto will always be my favorite boxer. War Cotto was nothing to mess with. He lost by mayweather, right hand landing clean all night.
I was just wondering how u know so much about boxing. I've watched 100's of break down videos and I've never heard anyone notice so many lil things.
Used to train when I was younger but I was interested in the “how” and “why” of it all. Had trainers and fighters sit down show me film study. Thanks
@@BoxingGems well u should have stayed a boxer cus u know more about the fundamental than most of the boxers do. I think you also would make an amazing coach. You should look into doing that I think u would be great. But I don’t know you that well I’m just going off all your knowledge in your videos. But thanks for all your hard work I’m really enjoying your videos. Have an amazing day can’t wait to watch the rest of them 😊
Much love! 💪🏾
look like he really just out thinks erbody
Exactly. But to outthink a boxer and change game plans mid fight means you have to have discipline and a vast skillset. Floyd said he wasn’t big on watching film and it shows. The best skilled ever but I know you want to disagree 😂 My dude. We are definitely going to explore your guy soon!
....u right I wanna disagree.....but lately I been watching all that Floyd really does in the ring..... Floyd actually has a number of if not shutouts... flat out master pieces....I mean.... for facts....ima pernell fan....but I also like to think of myself as a boxing fan....so I can’t confidently say anybody is better than Floyd
.......R.I.P. PERNELL WHITAKER tho🤷🏾♂️✊🏾
I hear you fam. Both those guys are ridiculous
damn they fought at a catch weight 152 & Floyd still weighed in at 149 lol
They fought at the full 154 pounds
It was a 152 catch weight.
@@BoxingGems Mayweather vs Canelo was a catchweight
@@BoxingGems Mayweather weighed in at 151, Cotto weighed in at 154... Mayweather was 147 on fight night, Cotto was 168
Correct. How the comments come, I thought he was in the Canelo breakdown.
I love these breakdowns but that instrumental be making me sleepy
I’m trying to hypnotize you fam! Then you wake up with instant boxing knowledge! 😂
you definitely know your boxing though
@@BoxingGems 😭😭 it was workin lol it be the vocal runs it’s too smooth! But not to worry I’ve been binge watching and writing notes for me to practice so I definitely appreciate your work💪🏿
💪🏾
Floyd footwork kept off setting cotto offense, Floyd is the most skillful ever man him and James toney
How you like Chris Colbert? He know ring generalship don’t he?
He’s good. I’ll add him to the list for my prospect vids
Don't you speak against L step in a lot of vids ?
In range L steps, yes.
But if I was in a fight for my life Floyd would be the last man I would want for help. He never wanted to really fight anybody. Just running around a jab. If he would have ever stood toe to toe with a fighter like Chavez or Duran. He wouldn’t have lasted 6 rounds.
What fight were you looking at, he stands toe to toe plenty of times in his fights he’s just too good for anybody that’s all, he just doesn’t do it enough for you because you want him to lose so bad 😂😂😂
Floyd, Prime Roy Jones and Prime Ray Robinson are the 3 fighters I'd bet the house on
Great break down as always
