It's not Dale Williams. It's Del Williams along with Henry Grooms who taught him the shoulder roll. Both trainers were from the Kalamazoo Boxing Academy where he trained. Del Williams is most notable for also training Leon Spinks. Henry Grooms co-founded KBA with Eddy Bridges. Also Del Williams didn't invent the shoulder roll, it's something that many fighters from Michigan used as part of their repertoire. The shoulder roll or "Philly Shell" was developed independently, in various urban centers, by gym rats or gym warriors. If you want to see someone who fights pretty similar to Floyd watch historic footage of the masterful George Benton.
Thanks for info. I'm truly fascinated by this technique.
@@johnericarlan8922 its crab style not philly shell, del william is not from philly he might have learned philly shell but he turned it into crab style, whuch is now more of a michiagan crab style.
@@davesgamingtv3069 True it's Michigan style. Philly shell is more of the George Foreman style of just having huge arms that you wrap around your belly and use your big hands to protect to the chin. Crab style is more of using your arms and elbows to deflect punches and leaving your hands open to throw counters while you use your shoulder tucked in to protect your chin.
Thank you, fascinating history lesson.
@@pittaaaabread Georgie Benton is the founder of the Philly Shell
mayweather Sr should market his knowlege and sell it on dvd . I would buy that knowledge. the stuff I seen him do on youtube . I tryed it and it works
Sean P. What?
Me keep crying???? You're the one sitting here using emoji in a youtube video and writing paragraphs of bullshit lol and im the one "crying" get a life you broke virgin
Would the price be $100,000 for all the knowledge, or $10,000,000?
Tune in @ 8:10 pm I'm interviewing Floyd Mayweather Sr. On my UA-cam channel K9BOXING🥊
Sean, spoken like a true idiot indeed, big mouth I know your type very well. The guy was merely making a suggestion, and although we know its impossible to instill the shoulder roll 100% via distant learning, there s no need to act like a fool about it.
Semper Fidelis
He learned it his son perfected it.
PRINCE CENTRAL facts!
Exactly. He’s delusional.
And his grandchildren and great grandchildren will forever be secured because of it.
@Damian Moises ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahaahhahahhaahhaha
@@saviosomayweather5163 he added excessive clinching and running 😂
@1:01 the dudes on the side just immediately started looking to learn a quick tip for free; lol
This not even my father n I felt hurt wen he said he not goin be here forever 😭
He’s like a professor in boxing, look what he taught Floyd jr.
Master teacher. No way around it 💯💪👏
So true
Floyd looks exactly like his father!
Yes! They both retained there 100% African traits, DNA....etc
That is not Floyd's real father. Floyd Jr's real name is floyd joy Sinclair... Jk but that's his real name though.
Well he sure looks like his non-father!
I’ll say Floyd looks like his dad and his uncle combined
@@nb0616 This is Floyds father.
Man he taught his son to be one hell of a fighter
I think what Floyd Sr is saying you have to learn how to slip and catch/block punches conventionally in a conventional stance and then learn how to roll a lot of fighters just want to roll but don't know the basics of even slipping a punch and it shows in their fights you might have to take some beatings in the gym and learn how to tweak the style
Heavy Hitters Boxing smartest comment ive read in a while. I dont know how to box, but what you just said applies to almost everything. Always start with and master tha basics! ALWAYS!
It makes the whole learning process a lot smoother and easier.
I believe the best fighters arent the ones that are amazingly fast or strong (obviously this helps), but the ones that can predict and out maneuvre their opponents accordingly landing accurate blows. Basically guys that are smart. And that always begins with mastering the basics of any fighting style.
Thank u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... Im a pro fighter/ trainer.... Even thou i fight conmpletely different style than him.... But principle remsins (LEARN THE BASICS 1ST) then get other things down packed...
That's not what he said. He was explaining the things he learned from the coach that taught him how to shoulder roll.
@@ForProfit-x100 ofcourse that was what the video was about. BUT he did explain that they were taught to catch parry and block punches and punch off of it (counter and BASIC defense) so they can roll eventually. They were not taught the shoulder roll right on the first day.
Julz Cdg those words never came out of his mouth.
Definitely one of the best trainers out there.
NOT one of the BEST trainers out there, he IS THE BEST trainer out there because his fighter won MULTIPLE championships in MULTIPLE divisions AND retired UNDEFEATED! NO ONE ELSE HAS THAT RESUME SO FLOYD SR AND ROGER MAYWEATHER ARE THE TWO BEST TRAINERS IN RECENT HISTORY.
@@devae98 slow down he has one fighter lmao
@@zlscales3898 Reading is fundamental...I CLEARLY said the same thing.
@@devae98 we are not making the same point.
@@zlscales3898 IDGAF! I said what I said. Who TF are you that I would care if we're making the same point ya weirdo! GTFOHWTBS
My goodness does he have better teeth than me. LOL!
They maybe fake but they were worth every damn penny
22000 dollar and you match m😁
old man with new teeth
Mine are so misaligned they look like staircase.
Look like piano keys
Floyd Sr used the shoulder effectively in close quarters mainly to the body.
Floyd Jr took it to whole nother level make it look easy mainly counter pot shots but i repeat Jr took it to a whole new level.
floyd jr was in training since a baby so it’s different than a kid 11 or something tryin learn it. mayweather sr is just as legendary as his son ! legendary father and son duo
Why do I like this man so much?
I knitted about three old dudes that remind me of him.
The difference between Sr and Jr is size. Sr is a natural 147 and fought his opponents straight up where as Floyd who is 135/140 naturally has to dodge more and outbox bigger sized fighters. Canelo, GGG and Oscar are bigger fighters. Today's boxers are more rehydrated athletes than fighters.
Angel King so the fighters of old fought more at their natural weight?
Melech Henderson yes
they had same day weigh ins back in the day
Angel King, you're just another punk who don't know shit about boxing hiding behind the computer typing shit. Sometimes, I wish there's a law to call people like you out unto ring and let's see if you can last 30 seconds against me. Get the heck outta here bozo!
All that knowledge he’s as got I hope Floyd makes a instructional based on his style after he finishes competing
George Benton original teacher of the Shell . This style can be taught. You have to have the right boxer.
the mayweather shell is not the same as the philly shell, only James Toney and Floyd Mayweather do the shoulder roll like that and they learned it in Detroit
I appreciate training Floyd Sr add to my work
Mom mom and uncle went to school with this guy. I'm from Grand Rapids
Dude next to Floyd Sr. got really into the conversation @ 1:10.. he was thinking I been sitting here this whole time, and finally the interviewer asks about the shoulder roll
Lol
Floyd snr and floyd jr are absolute doubles
Detroit Stand Up 💯
Amazing master class teacher 🥊
1:16 I almost blame my internet connection.
Thats right the shoulder roll came from DETROIT MICHIGAN not Philly
Hell no it didn’t.
Damn it would be such an honor to learn from this man him toney bernard are the last of the knowledgeable men in boxing the world is running out of champion building teachers
Bad man mayweather sr love this g respect
Real Talk with the Sr.
You could understand a word he said? It sounded like "Me like KFC.. you bring KFC? No? well let me talk in a slurred fashion abut shit i don't know fuck all about" that's Floyd SNR
Stephen Dunn idiot. kfc it’s for caucasians, black people eat popeyes.
One of the secrets to the shoulder roll is the stance has to be perfectly aligned so you can throw your straight right down the pipe. Which means you have to continuously adjust so your not exposing your backside which will have you turn right into a straight of the opponent.
Or give up the back side of the shoulder, which is the shoulder roll’s weakness. You hit someone in the back of the shoulder a couple times they’ll either give up on the roll or their arm won’t be working right. Either way, shoulder roll is nullified.
Good interview. I wish it would've gone more in depth with how he was exactly taught the shoulder roll. Like did he do drills first? Did he jump straight to sparring and was told to try out the shoulder roll until he got it? Did he practice rolling the shoulder to block the right hand by itself first? Did he learn how to block the jab, right hand and hook separately in the beginning? Or was it all done together?
PhillyPugilist Well you need to learn how to catch punches in a conventional stance as in the basics first then go on with his style of the shoulder roll!
If you turn on the subtitles you get a good laugh.
I did so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Boxing is a thinking mans game" Uncle Roger
The best defense really go from Detroit.
Basketball - Detroit Piston defense
Boxing- from coach of Mayweather Sr. from Detroit.
i want to learn that boxing style of mayweather sr. i wish
Truly it’s Ur unique style.
Damn mofcka got nice teeth
I thought I was the only one noticed that...lol I can't take my eyes off of them...
yeah they look like they're capped
They r fake teeth
10 stacks get you a row.
Imagine wilder with this defense and that power
MONEY MAXHEGWANA lmao he cant even box imagine tho
He’s to far gone this style has to be learned from young
Have you not seen fury his like the heavyweight version of floyd
This man got teeth like chip skylark. 😂 if you don't know that name google it, then come back and give me my like 😂
Quirro Green W
Fuck that. Google "Jim Carrey The Mask" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Quirro Green white dudes
Quirro Green he would chip your tooth
Lol
One day the maywathers as trainers will get there due respect but that style the teach is the best
Like they boxing is an art
SHOULDER ROLL.#SUPREME 👑
The first time I saw the shoulder roll was when Randy Turpin fought and beat Sugar Ray Robinson the first time back in the fifties!!! Turpin was from Europe I believe. This was back in the early fifties, so the shoulder roll had origins from way back then.
5 and half minute ,still i did not notice when he told us !
Sr. 💞
Sr. is OG
Floyd senior still has it. He would destroy mconor.
Seat down.
This nigga teeth is literally perfect lmfaooo wtf
I think they fake
So are floyd Jr.'s lol
paid for obviously not his natural teeth
Simple.....No cigarettes, no macdonalds and no chocolates, we Africans have white teeth, because we do not do those things.
dem teeth come wit a receipt
dudes a fuckin legend
Best way to box if u master it
He is right on thatmayweather style. He gave Floyd some knowledge.ihooe his son kearns it
Greatness.
so gangsta
Floyd Joy sr. Is the final boss
Sensei Mayweather.
Wish he was my dad; I can't afford the lessons.
Study on UA-cam and practice it on your own
Senior got bars lol 😂
Love ya senior but I gotta watch your interviews at 1.25x speed
Lmao
Beautiful
THEY SHOULD GET FLOYD SNR TO HELP ROCKY TRAIN CREED IN CREED3
Sugar Ray Robinson did the shoulder role back in the day
That's right it's the Detroit she'll not philly
LOL FLoyd sr said he's the only 1 that can teach it, that's funny, Johnny Huthcinson, Joe Rose, Archie Moore, Bill Miller were teaching and doing this way before Floyd sr.
Bun B he certainly has had the most consistent results with it...he is not saying he is the first to teach it...he told you who he learned it from...he is saying he is the only one who is still teaching it. The results show he can lay that claim...
He perfected it tho! Its a difference bruh
All the others perfected it sir, Joe Rose taught it to George Benton who was a MAESTRO at it, Hutchinson was also Archie Moore's mentor, Miller helped train Moore, and Bill Miller trained James Toney who MASTERED it.
Bun B if he learn form someone who was who was 70. or 80 at the time would it not be consistent that Archie Moore and all the other guys who were older than Floyd Sr and already legends would have already known it. That is a no brainer and you really have negated your own point........... Where it did not come from was Argentina.
Chris Vanoire You cannot explain something to someone that is hearing the same thing you are and can't comprehend what they are hearing. It is called not wanting to or cannot process information!! Or just plain hating!
Class 👌🏾
What Sr. Is talkin about reminds of 52 blocks (Old School Prison Style ).
He learned off Nicolino Lochee that Argentine boxer from the 60's and 70's those Philly guys were probably watching films of that guy
Luis Luna How you going to tell a man who he learned from? You know Floyd's life story and who was his trainer better than he himself does?
#idiot
Look at that guys style is close to the Mayweathers and he boxed years before they did
Luis Luna Bull Shit, the Guy he learned from was 70 or 80 so how in the hell could he have learn from some damn Argentina. When no Argentina or Mexican know how to do it now. Got to be a damn Mexican with a lie like that!!
The shoulder roll did not prevent him going punch drunk. Did Dale invent the shoulder roll or George Benton ?
Mayweather senior is still the truth lol
Look up George Benton re shoulder roll.
old man with great boxing skills..still has the freshest pair of nashers
Big Floyd a mastermind with boxing but like he said he wont be here for ever
Jack Blackburn was the greatest trainer!
Sr a serious dude
THE IMPACT ALI HAD OVER THESE OLDER GUYS IS CRAZY ALL THE RYMING CAME FROM ALI
Joy!
Honestly this shit works
ua-cam.com/video/Adpzb5Cz95w/v-deo.html in this video floyed shows the shoulder roll and catch and shoot same exact way sr speaks about...
"that's exactly what it was" lmao
Ray Leonard beat the brakes off this man gahd damn
jimenez1221 ray Leonard had fast hands and the best footwork. Floyd gave Leonard a tougher time than other fighters cause it was harder for Leonard to land clean punches. plus Floyd didn't rely on footwork as much as Floyd Jr does. if u watch Floyd Jr his footwork gets him out of range by not staying in the pocket as long. I believe if Floyd sr, would use better footwork he that would make him a greater fighter even though I think Floyd sr was a great fighter
jimenez1221 I dont think getting beat by sugar ray leonard is a bad thing.
old school af
Sr. should rap, Jr. put up the money back him up! Might be something there.
Elephant in the room , but no mention of George Benton shoulder roll ?
Floyd at 50 literally
4:48 preachhh
I wanna train under him. Anyone know the prices?
Vonsic free of charge
I wish lol
@@TommyTomTompkins Yeah right
Can we just learn to watch and enjoy videos instead of looking at teeth. Y'all some petty mofos
People still call it Philly shell, yet he was taught by a detroit style coach! Forget the name and focus on the mechanics.
Because it came from Philadelphia legend George Benton and some Philadelphia fighters, and Philadelphia has the most boxing champions than any other cities. Besides Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson, Detroit boxing champions were great in late 1970and 1980 and on. Let's say Michigan fighters.
@@michaelcampbell5849 I'm just saying people from gonna call it Philly, but the Detroit people will wanna call it Detroit. The point is, the name takes second place to the importance of focusing on the mechanics of the technique.
His coach got that from George Benton
I've seen white a few guys in MMA get knocked the fuck out trying to should roll. The moment they stood to roll, a kick came their way, made them buckles and a superman punch knocked them out into next week.
Dude in red t shirt looks so interested 😂
What'd he say?
That's exactly what it was!!!😭😭
Bro went to central high school he had to fight
His style...? I thought he said Dale something from Michigan taught it to him. As for perfecting it, it wasn't perfect enough for him to beat Sugar Ray Leonard. It's Floyd Mayweather Jr., if anyone, that perfected it. Also, everyone has their differences, so what works for Floyd may not work for another boxer. I think it's silly when boxers like Andre Berto come out of nowhere thinking "I'm going to use the shoulder roll tonight". Of course we all saw that it didn't work for him, nor was he doing it correctly. Another example was Broner. It's the same with Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. Although a lot of it is common sense, like the fastest way to get from point A to point B, is with a straight line. However, we see some students of Jeet Kune Do failing in MMA fights. That may partially be a consequence of former Bruce Lee students that are teaching the style, but weren't officially approved to take over like Lee did with Filipino martial artist Daniel Inosanto.
Charley Burley perfected it long before the Mayweathers
Floyd Sr. said his style because his style is his style. He has every right say that. Why is it that everything that comes out of his mouth has to scrutinized and over analyzed? Just because he said "perfect" doesnt mean that he means that literally. Leonard thought he perfected his style, and he did, but it didnt always work out for him did it? I wish guys would stop laying in wait to jump all over a member of the mayweather family says. It shows the jealously and contempt many have for their success in boxing.
blaq ninja
The style that Manny Pacquiao uses belongs to Freddie Roach, even if Freddie couldn't do it perfectly himself. Would you say that Eddie Futch has no claim to the styles of Ken Norton and Joe Frazier just because he himself was never a great boxer? Floyd Sr. has a much more impressive record than most great trainers--criticizing his in-ring accomplishments and acting like they have any reflection on the style he teaches is nonsensical.
Connor Ruebusch None of those guys invented those styles.
Roach learned his style from his amateur coaches.
Floyd Sr. didn't make up any style. Go watch a George Benton or Charley Burley fight plez
George Benton and Charley Burley didn't fight like Mayweather. Look past the superficial similarities and you'll see that.
Roach learned his style from Eddie Futch, who trained him and taught him to be a trainer, and from studying fighters that he admired.
In any case, no one said anything about "invented." Nothing in boxing is truly invented, because it's all been done before. That doesn't mean styles can't be attributed to the people who developed them.
Change the speed from 1.00 to 1.25 on setting. thank me later
Floyd Sr actually talks normal.
There are still deep boxing secret Floyd Sr. hasn’t let out the vault
When EF Hutton talks...
George Benton created the style
Philly
To the guy with the chip skylark not funny joke. Here's a 60 something aged man just like every box,stepped in that ring and fought.Mayweather Sr put his health and life out their everytime he boxed and now i'm listening to him he's sharp minded explaining the shoulder and counter punching. On the other hand Quirro Green you've probably never had a fight in your life including grade school.And if you're thinking about being a comedian you're trash at that also,if you can't listen at these ex and today's pro boxer's without trying to be funny you should do something that interest you.
