Comments Thread For: Diego Pacheco Overcomes Tough Moments To Knock Marcelo Coceres Out in Ninth

Looks a good prospect with good potential but still needs a way to go. Having Benavidez as a sparring partner will really help him develop. He needs to fix that defense though. People crap on about Benavidez lacking defense but he almost never gets hit clean like that with his high guard which is far more reliable. Head movement always fails eventually.

Training with David will only improve Pacheco that's a big plus.

Come on bro Berlanga clearly won. He dominated the first five rounds til he blew his biceps and still managed to win 2 or 3 of the last 5.

That uppercut was sick from Pacheco tho, I LOVE how he find openings in tight spaces especially for such a long/tall guy. If dude gets tighter defense he'll probably take over 168 once Canelo and Benavidez leave. If not he getting KO'D by a left hook soon

I didn't watch the fight, so do you think he can beat Morell jr? Because benavidez and canelo are not the only ones in that division. Actually mcbili and shishkin look very good fighters too.

Some tough spots there for Diego but he ended up beating Coceres better than both Saunders and Berlanga.

I predicted that Coceres would expose some holes in Pacheco's game - Pacheco has an opportunity to improve and really should. He's a good kid.

I thought Pacheco did well. He showed a decent chin and composure when Coceres was beginning to have success. I think he could've stopped Coceres sooner had he increased his output rather than boxing on the back-foot.

Pacheco = boxer-puncher, Benavidez = pressure fighter. David's high guard suits his fighting style, and his size & output normally drowns the opponent. David would've probably gotten Coceres outta there sooner.

No he's not quite ready for the top 5ish fighters, my statement was more of a projection kids only 22 years old so I expect improvement especially on defense. If he doesn't fix those defensive holes he'll get brutally KO'D sooner or later by a Mcbilli etc

Pacheco showed a lot of discipline in sticking to the game plan even when it wasn't working. I would have liked to have seen him figure out that he needed a different approach earlier but he definitely passed the " Dog test". Some defense against the left hook, more bodywork, and not dipping to the right every time would be nice. Overall though , he's pretty good and it was a good performance. He beats the heck out of Berlanga on any day that ends with a Y.

It os always room for improvement a d he has foundation and time on his side.
