Chaos in Manny's corner
Did anyone else notice the ridiculous screaming persons in Manny's corner between rounds? Freddie Roach was not able to even give instructions, he was just giving water and wiping his fighter down with a towel. He should have been telling Manny to keep moving to his right and stay out of that range of that right hand that dropped him in the 3rd. That was really bad to not have the best trainer in the business have the floor to coach his fighter. That camp was in disarray during the fight. I know Manny is experienced but he lost his focus and let his defense drop and got drilled. The corner let him down. By comparison, Marquez' corner was managed by one person, Nacho Beristain. He was calmly giving direction to his fighter. Even the Greatest, Muhammad Ali, relied on the brains and guile of Angelo Dundee. A calm and clear-headed corner is a critical ingredient to victory in the ring. The Pacquaio camp blew it.
Then Manny got blown out.
