[jimmy1991]

Roger thinking to himself during that padwork, "This mofo bout to get KTFO" :lol:
:lol:

[Rise Above]

He doesnt look very sharp, could be an early night for him come fight night.

[greengloves]

he doesnt look very sharp at all,the handspeed isnt great and he has absolutly no pop in his jab,in honesty i havent seen him fight before,lets just hope he doesnt fight like he trains.

[Auracle21]

he fights pretty well but he looks very lethargic and out of shape here

[Zhaakal]

judgeing from this he will get KTFO-d

[rikanlink]

[BigBone]

wait .... roger mayweather is training him ??? also what weight are they fighting at ??Of course Roger, he's the trainer of Stevie since Floyd Sr. can't train the two fighters fighting each other! :thumbsup

Contract weight is 150.



Steve doesn't have to look very sharp 2 months before the fight...

[Marnoff]

Does not look terrific, but this is only one short clip.

Looks like he is letting Roger slap his gloves just like Mayweather does. Move your glove one inch and let Roger bring it in the rest of the way.

I am happy that Forbes is getting a payday. Oscar should dedicate the rest of his career to giving deserving unknowns paydays...and he should forget all about PBF!

[o_money]

looks like he's practicing how to eat a left hook:D

[fitzgeraldz]

Man Forbes looks slow and a lil round... Roger doesn't look into it and he doesn't seem to be coming at Forbes as he does his nephew.

Can anybody tell me the benifit of this sort of padwork where the fighter throws arm punches two inches with no form and the trainer slaps his gloves? Is it just a flow or reaction drill? Do they do "real" padwork later with punches that they may actually throw in the fight? I've seen PBF do it and so at least it's not detrimental, but other than flow or timing or whatever I can't really see the point.

[fitzgeraldz]

Its to worrk on muscle memory and fast twitch reactions ... if you can see, maybe not with that video - but with Floyd its must faster and different punches. He throws like 5 pattern punches then throws a sweeping left hook - or he throws a pattern and then doubles up to the body. Its all how the fighter reacts.

It also helps when you're tired ... its so many punches being thrown and blocked ... hundreds of punches per round w/ the pads ... that when it comes to a live fight you'll be able to adjust. (depending on the boxer)

I disagree with you saying those are arm punches ... those are real, short, crisp, accurrate punches.

I don't know what made you think they were arm punches ... they're not doing that for power, its more for speed, accurracy, and defense.

[fitzgeraldz]

Ricky Hatton though it was ridiculous as well ... look what happened to him.

Looks like PBF training in slow motion....:lol:
