The 3 Mayweather Padwork Styles

Mayweather-style padwork is about practicing a set number of counter-punch combinations, and then calling them out in the midst of basic punches, defence and footwork.

Below is a list of the main combinations grouped according to Floyd Mayweather Sr, Roger Mayweather, and Jeff Mayweather. Each legendary coach has their own style but they also share a similar structure. Note that the techniques in bold are cues for the rest of the sequence.

Be sure to practice the combinations in your own time, either during shadowboxing or even bagwork, and your skills may improve dramatically:

  • Roll, Cross, Lead Hook, Cross

The great thing about Mayweather-style padwork is that it mixes routines with randomness. Once you have learned the routines, the next stage will be to add your own improvised punches, blocks, head movement and footwork, or test your ability to perform them on command with a coach.
