Who does Pacquiao move to his right against? Southpaws, always southpaws, never been orthodox, until this fight, where he just put himself in the awkward position of having to go straight through Ugas’ jab.
Pacquiao’s style vs orthodox has always been to circle inside of them to mix up a step outside of the right hand and counter or shoot a shot inside the right hand. You’re not in a good position for either if you’re circling to the outside. That’s how Rigondeaux fights, that’s how Mayweather eventually started to fight southpaws, that’s how Lomachenko fights, that’s how you fight the opposite stance.
