One weakness I spotted last night in Pacquiao

[Steak]

although his performance was great, his buzzsaw strategy and quick combos are always great to watch...he totally nullified any offense that Clottey had planned going into the fight. Clottey wasnt the best fighter ever(never was, and I never understood why certain people thought that much of him), but he was good, and it was Pacquiao and his strategy that severely limited his offense...its not like he 'didnt come to fight' or 'had an off night'.

anyways, I digress. The thing I noticed was Pacquiao is a sucker for the left uppercut. Maybe you think Im nitpicking on a great performance, but imo Pacquiao is very open for it. any time Clottey got close to him, he could land that left uppercut flush. few and far inbetween, granted, but he could make Pacquiaos head snap back with it even when Pacquiao had his guard up. Pacquiao's right eye is actually quite marked up from the recent interviews Ive seen him in, and I have no doubt a lot of that damage was caused by those left uppercuts.

no ones perfect of course, but if Pacquiao runs into someone who can exploit that kind of close range left uppercut.
anyways, enjoyed the fight last night. some people say it was monotonous, but honestly...I could be entertaining just watching Pacquiao hit a heavybag. hes jsut an offensive machine, and thats somethign to behold.

thoughts?

I think he wanted him to throw it, he'd come up close hoping Clottey would throw so he could counter. I don't really see a problem with Manny's defence, he was definitely letting Clottey come close and hit him at times.

Mayweather would toy with Pacquiaos melon head.

I thought Pac baited Clottey this way so Clottey would be open. He risked getting hit to make the fight interesting and more entertaining.

Too bad your queen cant man up and fight Pac straight up without his own silly testing requirement.
Tell Flyod to get some balls and fight Pac, no more nonsense testing crap. If Flyod is that good whats the hold up?
Flyod is scared of Pac. end of story.

dream on!!!

hes only susceptible to it when he stands in front of his opponent with this hands up, goading him to punch. otherwise, no, i wouldnt call it a weakness.

it did look like Pacquiao was trying to sucker Clottey into throwing, I noticed that too.

I dont know though, even when youre trying to do that you dont go out of your way to eat flush consecutive left uppercuts. not in the middle of a fight.

Pacquiao's defense is just fine, but I think theres a little bit of a gap in his guard for left uppercuts to get through. defense was never his strongest point anyway though, so it doesnt entirely matter.

[S.G.]

Usually when Pacquiao tried to fight Clottey on the inside he came off worse.

Are you stoopid? If Pac isnt hiding anything then he should just do it and make the fight happen.

But Pac knows he cant win without his PEDs.
