The Knockdowns Mean "Nothing" says Roach

[WhoreUs]

how can pac be knocking down porter but not knocking down castillo

maybe roach has porter and pacquiao go at it good while castillo is there to spar with when they're just working on gameplan and tactics?

Co-Sign.

Porter is there to help adjust to size and power.

Castillo is there to help practice game plan against Cotto's style.

They both probably help towards game plan and tactics to some extent, but Castillo is too old to be getting KD in sparring sessions. Roach probably realizes that so they take it easy on him. Porter can take it though, he's still young.

How come he didnt knock out Castillo

It wouldnt be the end of the world for pac if he was down in sparring as long as he produces it against Cotto. But being decked in your sparring sessions is usually a bad omen and sign.
Tyson was reportedly decked in sparring at least once if im right.

You got it the other way around, Pac knocked Porter down twice in sparring...

Well, they still have around, what, 100 rounds of sparring to do before the fight? So a lot can happen. Anyone know if Manny will be sparring with anyone else when they get back to The Wild Card Gym? Maybe Alex Ariza? I mean, he floored Koncz 4-5 times in the air. I'm sure that means "something."

To answer my own question: Manny Pacquiao will be sparring with Rashad Halloway when Team Pacquiao returns to The Wild Card Gym later this month. The sparring sessions will be in the concluding days of Halloway's training camp for his upcoming fight against Frankie "El Gato" Figueroa on Nov. 04.

3:08 to 3:23 Rashad mentions sparring with Pacquiao for his upcoming fight.

Isn't it ironic that Figueroa was hired to emulate Pacquiao for Cotto's camp, and now Pacquiao will most likely be emulating Figueroa for Holloway's camp?
