Pacquiao's Boxing Skills

[loui_ludwig]

Pac does not have the skills of MAB, JMM, EM, or PBF. Roach trained Pac to box more against MAB since he believed that MAB might not brawl like he used to agains EM, Hamed, or JMM. Pac beat MAB in their rematch by boxing. He used his jabs more, throwing hooks to the body, and as MAB said, his defense was good. What is your opinion of Pac's boxing last night? Obviously it needs more work. Like the defense when he is backing up. He did pretty ok against EM in their 3rd fight, but not so good last night against EM.

You meant boxing skills. Yes he is not a slick boxer compared to those 4 because he is a pure slugger puncher and his best defense is his offense. Freddie could try him to be a well-rounded fighter but he could not change the way Manny really is. Manny will always look awkward because he throws punches in bunch in whirlwind fashion and often times loses his blance as he lunges forward. It also due to the fact that Freddie has made some adjustments into his fighting style that contributed to this. Trying to incorporate new things into a fighter's aresenal whwn he is not comfortable or confident in it will throw him out of his rhythm and that's what happened to Manny last night.

But as the saying goes - all is well that ends well, Manny showed some of the finer adjustments that he and Freddie had been working on - using his right jabs, right hooks and more had and bod movements and won the fight with a wide margin. He was not able to finish MB the way many people thought he would but it was mainly because MAB didn't want to engage himself in a war and both of them showed great respect to each other.

But there is no denying that Manny has evolved into a more mature fighter now that he showed he could box as well and this will serve him more as goes into the last part of his career.

It is obvious, pacman is the better fighter against those 4, pacman defeated them all, via TKO with the exception of marquez of course with a contraversy, but still, pacman is the best among them. bwa hahah
