LOL Can PAC turn orthodox (right handed stance) against Hoya?

**Undefeated** · 12-05-2008, 02:26 AM

Pac won't do that. The only time I see him in a orthodox stance is when throws his 1-2 and lunges with his left, but only to position himself back to southpaw.

I wouldn't advise it, he should stick to his guns. He's ambidextrous so he can do it but I wouldn't think it'd be a good idea.

Maybe PAC can try it if he's way ahead in the scorecards

. Just like what Erik Morales did in PAC-Morales 1. Still, it's not a good move.

I'm just curious since I found this image in a betting site depicting PAC in a right handed orthodox stance (must be a mistake ). Click link below to see the original image/picture:

Can PAC try to do it to confuse Hoya?
.

he'll be more open to oscar's left hook in an orthodox stance. bad idea.

Not really, a left hook works very well against a southpaw because they don't see it coming, Pacquiao would probably see the left hook better out of an orthodox stance but it's not a good idea because he's not used to fighting in that stance.

you think so?

i think the opposite.

i think with his right hand forward he'd be less susceptible to the left hook. i think oscar's hook would land more cleanly on pac in the orthodox stance.

probably doesn't matter anyway. pac will probably be squared up when oscar ktfo pac with it anyway.

I dont want to see that, PAC should stick to what he is accustomed to...

I do because the left hook can come up over Pacquiao's shoulder and he would never see it coming, he would be able to see the left hook a little better as an orthodox fighter IMO but maybe it would land better because Pacquiao isn't used to the stance.

You're right though, Pacquiao still squared up a lot when he coming forward which would leave him open to everything DLH has.
