BERNABE CONCEPTION= Manny Pacquiao w/o Special Blended “Power Shakes”??

Like I told Ryno, the reason why Bernabe wasnt able to copy Pacquiao fighting style too a tee is because he couldnt speed Juan Ma up.
Like I just wrote,
I would label Pacquiao style off fighting to a bubble bee.
"A bee is never as busy as it seems; it's just that it can't buzz any slower."
What that means in relation to Pacquiao IMO, is that alot of Pacquiao's offense similiar to a bee's is looking for a way in and a way out and a way back in
The beauty of what he does is that Fighters get so caught up with him just moving around that they dont realise that he is not moving as fast as it seems, he is actually making the other fighter speed up their tempo so the one punch that Pacquiao would be the most vunerable too Pacquiao which is a "STIFF TIMED JAB" will be none existent because the fight has fell into the trap of trying move at the tempo of the bee. (JMM,Cotto, Morales) Therefore, eliminating their most effective weapon which is meeting pacquiao speed with a "WAITING JAB"
Juan Ma deserves alot of credit for staying calm, relax, and boxing great.
because he too could have fell victim to speed up pace that favor's pacquiao style of fighting.Last edited by Horus; 07-13-2010, 12:40 PM.Comment

Pacman bounces more, is on his toes more. ALso bounces side to side and in and out whilst punching. It may seem like a small diference, but it is actually much larger than you think when in combat.
he also is more active. Bernabe does a lot of side to side head movement from a peek a boo ala pacman but pac keeps his hands moving more, putting a straight left or jab out to head or body whilst doing so to keep his opponent guessing.
Sure.. a small change, but drastic when in combat.
Being much faster then your opponent is huge too which pacman usually is both in hand and foot. This is actually something huge.
pacman after attacking doesn't sit there too much longer before stepping bouncing out, Concepcion stays in the pocket a bit too long.
Also, the punches aren't the same. Pacman isn't a wide puncher.. infact.. he's a 1-2-1-2-1-2 kind of guy. Picture Martinez/Pavlik round 9 to 12... Martinez pulled out teh 1-2-1-2 combo over and over... that's pretty much pac virtually all fight plus the occasional hook around (around=body) or overhand up type (occasional upper, too).
The stances and fundamentals look very simular but there's a lot of thigns going on with pacman that although don't look that huge on paper, are incredible in the ring
For Bernarge to be successful he is going to have to Soeed up his tempo, so he can speed up his opponents tempo.Comment
