the ropes are the best friend of an aging fighter
as you hopefully have figured out by now, the legs on a fighter are one of, if not the first thing to go.
manny's style will depend on them.
the last time i saw manny display great footwork was against margarito. we shall see if he's begun to display a more noticeable decline when he fights bradley, who is young(ish) and still fights that way.
working on some things in sparring against a come forward LW who is essentially a punching bag is one thing
if he's languishing on the ropes against bradley it will be telling. it could also lose him the fight.
