Pacquiao has a sneaky short right hook that really works because they're preoccupied getting away from the straight left.

If you watch Pacquiao coming up he would actually step to you, a large part of his game wasn't based off of bouncing around, watch his really old fights and you'll see what I'm talking about. When you have much better physicals tools than Katsidis/ Juan Diaz and you can't even have their success in trapping Marquez, that says a lot about your inability to cut off the ring. Just think about that for a moment......
Maybe these things will develop as he slows down even more, maybe it'll force him to develop them.

If he put less emphasis on looking for the straight left hand, he may actually cut the ring off better and widen his arsenal of punches up close. If you don't see that I don't know what to tell you then.

Originally posted by Evol View Posthe cuts the ring off though so i dont know what ur talking about. sure maybe some rounds he doesnt cut the ring off right away but that doesnt mean he doesnt know how too. i just find it funny because cutting off the ring is one of the most brought up terms on here. its like thats the most important thing on here or something.

Originally posted by pnksntdead View PostI agree with the cutting off the ring part. We'll see how they work on it if he gets the bradley rematch next. As for trading inside, I'm not sure if I wanna do that against marquez. Marquez is one of the best combination punchers out there as witnessed by katsidis and diaz. Manny has great hand speed and should do good but I'd rather see him box him from outside with good lateral movement.
