Pacquiao YET AGAIN training as an ORTHODOX

[boxasmash]

Someone commented last month how Manny had been training as an orthodox and maybe he'd use it against Clottey who seems to like fighting Southpaws.

Here he is again training out of the orthodox stance.

Maybe Clottey likes fightin southpaws but his left hand is much better than his right.
Pacquiao should fight southpaw

pac has already mastered the southpaw stance so it makes me not wonder why hes trying to learn orthodox

He mastered one style so he is trying to learn another one huh? Yeah right! Freddie Roach knows they have bitten off more than they can chew. He is getting plan A,B,C and D ready for Clottey. The thing is...Southpaws don't bother Clottey and neither does conventional fighters so it's not going to matter which way he fights Clottey is going to bust Pacquiao up. Freddie Roach is sending out all these smoke screens about knocking Clottey out and going to Clottey body and so on and so on but he watched the tapes and he knows he has his work cut out. I will continue to say this until the fight arrives. Team Pacquiao picked the wrong man this time.

hi hater sure hater. lol clottey is good, but no chance, sorry.

i wouldnt be surprise if he does fight ortho, it'd be a big improvement. shows how much he wants and can learn.

what the one punch that pac is open to in a southpaw stance

the straight right obviously. that is one of floyds best and most used weapons in his arsenal. now if you switch to orthodox when you fight floyd though he can still land the punch but it could still limit the number of times he leaves himself open to it... i am no boxing expert or trainer but i always hear the straight right is an orthodox's best weapon against a southpaw so if you can take that away from your opponent(or atleast limit it in any amount) then you have not only improved your defense but also taken away a partof your opponents offense. in a fight i see won on points it can be crucial to who comes out to be the winner

to me this is just manny and roach getting some time in for the future floyd fight.

I agree with what you are saying

[Siggy]

i love how manny keeps adding more dimensions to his style, but this maybe taking it a bit too far. maybe theyre looking for ways to give clottey different looks to nullify his straight right, which manny has been vulnerable to in the past.

interesting development. imagine if manny masters the lead left hook to the body or head. dunno if he'd wanna stay in that stance cuz i dont think his back hand would be strong enough to counter with.

i agree but i dont think that roach and manny are taking it a bit too far. if anything, i think its a bit late cause hes learning to fight in a new stance and hes in the final moments of his career while other boxers like cotto and donaire has learned to fight southpaw or orthodox early in their career
