MAYWEATHER - VS - PACQUIAO THE TRUE CLASH OF THE TITANS

MAYWEATHER - VS - PACQUIAO
THE TRUE CLASH OF THE TITANS
What will be seen before us is a Boxing dream match come true that should,and may very well, live up to all of it's hype. We would have two superstar combatants at the very appex of boxings pecking order, risking it all, going toe to toe for the most highly coveted Crown of them all..." BEST POUND FOR POUND FIGHTER IN ALL OF BOXING". PACQUIAO and MAYWEATHER, in their own rights, have earned for themselves very established bragging credentials. they've had between them, some of the worlds most notable bouts,and have shown class all the while , inside and outside of the ring. If indeed a fight like PACQUIAO/MAYWEATHER could be had, it would bring into question the skills paramount in both fighters that could be a boon ,or bane to their til now, most pristine careers. Whilst it would be a given that both fighters would give and receive punches to the very best of their abilities,there are some aspects that should be well noted as to have this fight last longer than three rounds.
Firstly,all the world would agree that the 'PRETTY BOY' will have to fight(REAL HARD) to keep his devilishly good looks. This means that he will have to open up,and in the intrim of doing so , he must secure himself against being out hustled by PACQUIAO.
The "PACMAN" as PACQUIAO is so aptly called, will not let MAYWEATHER rest , even as he would vye feverishly not to be unsettled in of the awesome defenses of the PRETTY BOY'S movement and his own quest to land his superb straight left hand.

When analyzing a great fighter such as Mayweather,we very quickly come to the realization that,relieving a fighter of his planned strategies are a major part of the Mayweather game; And'please dont let the defence fool ya', fore once the PRETTY BOY has become in sync with the timing of the PAC MAN 'ALL HELL CAN BREAK LOOSE'.With viciously swift well placed and timed right hands, and tightly bonded left hooks, it now becomes an all night feeding frenzy with Mayweather methodically picking the PAC MAN apart with a classic 2-3 combination set. The downside to Mayweather's defence however, is when a fighter sticks and moves instead of relentlessly attacking, thereby pressing directly up the middle. This movement is in exact momentum as that of which Pacquiao implemented in his take down of De La Hoya. By pressing, stalking, sticking and moving, Pacquiao was able to maintain his range of attack, which frustrated Oscar and made him reluctant to fire out of the fear that Pacquiao would have countered him for reaching.
But wait!there is something that puts the PRETTY BOY in a league of his own.It is that of his training regimen. He is taught to have laser like pinpoint accuracy which causes him to change his rhythm and dictate the pace of a fight, so much so, that it renders opponents baffled. No where is this most prevelent than in the Corrales fight, where he lead with the left hook which caught Chico by surprise sending him to the canvas a resounding 5 times. Then there were the four straight right hands that Gotti ate; on second thought Gotti was eating rights hands all night,right up until the fight was stopped. Floyd jr is an accurate shooter who can lead with any number of punches, including, the jab that found it's way to the mid section of the "Super One" Jab Judah. The potential problem with Floyd in this fight could very well become him damaging his brittle hands, which have alway been a known problem. This could prove to be a major obstacle in facing a fighter like Pacman who's always has his guns blazing.
Pacquiao, on the other hand has never faced a fighter as gifted as Mayweather, yet he always seems to rise to the occasion. His speed and agility may pose a problem for the aging Mayweather.
One thing is for sure, Pacman will bring the leather, spearing very little in the way of 4 and 5 punch combinations in contrast with Floyd's style, accuracy and timing. Pacquiao could win in the early exchanges by forcing Floyd to pony up and chase him.This could tend to favor the busier fighter (Pacquiao). All things being as they are,this fight would be one of sizmic proportions. One that will, in no doubt, be hailed as one of the greatest fight in the history of mankind.....

Question about Brazilian Jujitsu and 52

Mr. Marks,
You are very well versed in your history of African Martial Arts throughout the African Diaspora. What are your thoughts on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Its popularity has exploded along with the rise of MMA. Many view it as a sound base for MMA. But few consider its history with regard to the influence that African Martial Arts has had in Brazil. Most are familiar with the Gracie's story for they are responsible for founding and developing BJJ. However, it is my opinion that BJJ was developed within a culture that was strongly influenced by African traditions. For instance, Brazil was among the first countries to abolish slavery due to a series of intense rebellions. The rebellions were carried out using African fighting styles (ie. "shackle-fighting, as some would call it).
What are your thoughts?
Vince


Greeting Vince,

It’s true that real arts are developed in environments that challenge the human spirit, and the will to survive. Although BJJ is a great sport and the foundation for MMA it’s predecessor Vale Tudo which means Booth fight. Like its Caribbean and Southern cousin Ruff N Tumble (Any thing goes) were fights that included Biting, Gouging, and Head butting.



Now a bit of history, the slaves of Bahia were known for this style of combat, as they were not allowed to own weapons. Since the escaped slaves waged war against the Plantation owner (wielding weapons), yet this did not prevent the need to protect one self. Before the term Capoeira became the popular fighting style, other art forms were being merged (or dieing off) like Batique, and forms of wrestling, the names of these arts have faded to a whisper, yet can be seen in the practice of the current art of Angola. Some of the other Styles of Capoeira were modified to form a structured system now made famous by Mastre Bimba Called Regional, Bimba was best known as a warrior who fought and beat a Japanese Wrestler in a Vale Tudo match.



Capoeira is as big as Soccer in Brazil even the Graices practice the art which gave them the edge in fighting with capoeiristas. It was the modifying of Vale Tudo rules that gave birth to the UFC although the contest boasted No holds barred the rules flavoured the grappler, and most Martial Art systems had forgotten about fighting from the ground. Striking from the ground is not like grappling which is controlling your opponent, locking him up, and making him say uncle or it breaks. The thing to remember here is that Catch Wrestling in the Southern US was just as brutal and predates BJJ. Wrestlers like early Prize Fighters would travel the world with Carnivals or side shows and challenge all comers to try and lick them for money. These tough man contests are your UFC before the blending of Combat sports which help to round out all fighters

giving them the tools to compete at a higher level. So if it were not for the slaves fighting of Vale Tudo, Bjj wouldn’t be the art it is today as they owe their sport to the violence of a slave port where the term any thing goes was the norm.

D.Marks Response
Peace Bro,
I think that it would be great to spar with Some filipino boxers, seeing that both styles uses slapping to prepare the blocks and counter. As for the difference in style, there really isn't any different just the names that each generation called the fight. However, there are some changes in focus due to environment Between Prison and the Streets. or in JH vs 52. Like the boxing in Prison faded out in the late 70's- so by the mid 80's fights were less common and shank attacks or edge attacks ruled the day in prison. at the same time the prison skills were gaining a new audience on the street. Thus 52 became the pretty boy style with L-Boogie , while a serious fights use the Bo-peep vision (tighter guard). the blend of both styles can be seen in the Butterfly movement that you guys call the bow-tie pattern. they are one in the same. which is why they look so much alike.
Other keys to remember is the Moors influence on Spain, and the connection of Spain to the Caribbean and America's where a lot of our arts live out side of Africa. Music and Culture are shared realities...
Last note on Boxing in the 1890's The US Navy settled in ports in the Philippines and Black Boxers Shared their knowledge of boxing, As Southern US Boxing has some influence from a stick fighting art called Kalinda that was in practice during the late 1800's from New Orleans.
