Pac looked like SH*T in sparring (HBO 24/7 footage)

Whatever you say in his sparring session, the truth is nobody got that bonus promised by Roach, who could knckdown Pacman!

I think you got fooled just like roach wanted i think they wanted to show pacq getting hit by a pressure style in the footage so margarito tries that shyt in the fight and knock him d fk out just like Hatton because if they jst wanted to make their fighter look good in the footage they could just tell the spar partner ok take a breather let him work u to scare margarito.

He's not past his prime yet, they just took the absolute worst sparring video from the first few days of camp and juxtaposed that with Marg looking GREAT to sell the fight. Khan said recently that Pac is in the best shape he's seen him in since they've known eachother and he's more explosive than ever. He looked like a machine in his latest vids. They pulled the same trick with the Cotto fight. Miguel was focused and hungry, started training camp 32 days before Pac did while Manny seemed lethargic and not focused... then fight night came. From the looks of it he is.. Not saying he is shot. He's way far far from it. But look at his form, being mauled & out class in a sparring w/ a beginner is a sign of it. Don't worry. Pac beats margarito nonetheless.

a past his prime Manny still beats Margarito..!

It's not the first time Pacquiao looked bad in sparring. Plus, it seems like he only focuses on one thing at a time in there. On fight night when he puts all his training together, you'll see the same old Pacquiao beating down his opponent. Pacquiao TKO 10.

iceman, i like your post-fight coverage on ESPN after pac-cotto. are you going to do post-fight again on ESPN for this fight? you're a lot better than teddy atlas IMO. Hey, my man, thanks a lot...I'm actually trying to get that segment on my youtube page...and yes, I'll be doing the pre and post fight on ESPN News for the Pacman-Margarito fight...

I see what your saying but Pac himself said he was focusing on "timing".

:lol1: HBO, Top Rank, and Roach have you and a ton of casual fans right where they want you. "OMG, Pacquiao looked horrible in sparring and Antonio looked great... maybe he has a chance". I wonder how many PPV buys that just got them.

Nah, that means NOTHING...Ive seen guys get beat down worse in the gym a week before a fight where they looked spectacular...you're seeing him spar after running that morning, watching his weight, etc etc...you'll see him fight on a few days rest, rehydrated, etc... iceman, i like your post-fight coverage on ESPN after pac-cotto. are you going to do post-fight again on ESPN for this fight? you're a lot better than teddy atlas IMO.

Who else saw that footage, Pac was getting stopped in his tracks, pinned against the ropes, getting his ass k*cked. Freddie is also getting frustrated the Manny is only throwing one punch at a time, no combinations. Man, he is ripe for the picking.

How can they sell the fight if they portray one guy as a demi-god? Its gotta build you up and entice you to buy. Now you think Margarito has a shot and you'll buy the fight thinking the chance of an upset will occur.

any idea who he was sparring with??? michael medina and glen tapia.

any idea who he was sparring with??? Glenn Tapia and Carlos Medina......some 6 foot tall dudes Guessing at the second guy's first name but the last names should be correct

Sparring is not fighting.You can't compare how someone is sparring to how they perform in the ring on fight night.

When did you ever see Pac looked good sparring in his first 24/7 LOL.

Who else saw that footage, Pac was getting stopped in his tracks, pinned against the ropes, getting his ass k*cked. Man, he is ripe for the picking. LOL, that was from like 2 weeks ago. Next week's footage will show him dominating dudes. They are just building up suspense towards the fight. Anyone's always got a chance in any fight but I'm sure he will look 100% better in next week's episode.
