Pacquiao Drops, Cuts Sparring Partner Hovhannesyan

so how come cotto & dela hoya didn't fight in southpaw w/c is their natural style? if what u say is true then many upcoming or probably current boxers will try to adapt fighting in southpaw so that they can exploit these "advantages" you're trying to say

I disagree. Im a righty who also fights as a Southpaw because thats my natural stance. I dont beleive that people pick what to do. 99% of people just go off what they feel comrotabl with but that still doesnt take away from the fact that being a Southpaw is a huge advantage because it just is. Southpaws fight a righty in over 90% of there fights but a righty hardly ever see's a Southpaw

being a southpaw is an advantage for a very obvious reason, most people are right handed so the few south paws out there train against orthadox boxers but most orthadox boxers dont train against southpaw, plus the southpaw when learning has more to think about, when i first webt training it was a nightmare when going through routines i had to reverse the whole thing, very confusing but makes you think that bit more, when a south paw hits and moves to the right of an orthadox boxer its very hard for that right hander to cope with but very natural for the lefty because thats what they do in the gym and its likely there the only one in the gym doing it.

Manny is not some indestructable god, ppl go on about him on here as though he is unbeatable, he has been beaten several times already, this fight is 50/50 its closer than ppl think, and Hatton is been so underestimated, he is more talented than ppl think.

That's a good start for Pacquiao.

Pacman by KO. too quick and skilled for Hatton

forget about hatton vs pac... just stick mayweather sr. in the ring with roach, there the ones dissin and undermining each others fighters. Could be an interesting fight aswell...

Good points there, but still why didnt take that advantage being a southpaw?
i mean for example: cotto..being a natural southpaw, he switches orthodox coz he can shorten the distance of his target with his power(left) hand...but knowing that he can have an advantage of being southpaw which makes his opponent uncomfortable, he stil fights righty...it is still the skills & talent of a boxer that makes him good or great, being a southpaw is an added bonus

[tjadl6386]

maybe they want to be more effective with the jab?

I keep changing my mind on this fight.

Any crappy article can get me to change my mind. Manny by KO, lol.

Key point: Manny has more ways to win the fight.

Whats really is intriguing is the "cut" not the KO............hmmmmmmmmmm.

I hope pacman does 10000 situps per day, Hatton will test that body.

Hatton's face in plastic.

I can't even remember the last time he was cut now.

His face swells like a balloon though. He got a black-eye from Malignaggi in the first round.
