Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: When Margarito Pressures, My Uppercuts Attack

[Russian Crushin]

Uppercuts are good

Its obvious that just straight punches to the face and hooks dont do any damage to marg

Maybe uppercuts will do it

[tibbar]

Manny's not known for effective uppercuts.

Are we all in for a surprise?...

there was this fight of manny against an asian where he unleashes an uppercut/semi hook that lifted his opponent inches from the ground when looking at it youll expect the guy will fall on a particular side but instead fell on the other side. it was amazing and youll wonder how did it happened. but when you watch the slo mo replay of pacman's fight with dela hoya our initial observation was confirmed, there is a uniqueness in pacmans punching technique either it was taught to him or natural with him being a southpaw and awkward. not only one opponent tells that pacmans punch is not that strong(?) per se when it hits, but it stings, it pops/explodes. thats because of the speed and that technique im talking about.

mannys the one who needs to watchout for uppercuts imo

Yup.

But I don't see Marg going inside the pocket for an inside fight, coz IMO anyone who does that didn't come close to Pacquiao and ends up getting a barrage of punches from different angles.

If Margarito can pin Manny on the ropes he def has that chance of landing those uppercuts to the head and body.

I remember that, twas against Thawatchai, Yeah that was an uppercut I believe and the poor thai was KO'ed cold and was lifted up the mat at both feet with that power shot.

Manny did use his uppercuts back in his early blow by blow days but like what I said, it was against opponents the same as his height. And the uppercut's not really his BnB.

i have to strongly disagree...tony isnt gonna try to box manny..that would be ******ed..hes gonna try to maul manny,,stalk him,pressure him..ive been screaming this for 2 weeks now tony wants to get inside and work mannys body,slow him down,shop him down then maul and beat him down..thats the plan...watch 24/7 closley,dude is going to the body like a b1tch...this fight could resemble the judah fight we saw this weekend..with manny head hunting and margo working the body

I know what you're saying larry, Marg's gonna be there all night mauling Manny.

My take is, if Margarito can come close for those uppercuts to the body without getting tagged with 4-5 punch combos he doesn't even know where it's coming from...

That's just about it.

Should be a very good fight and let's see if our predictions pan out for the fighters.

WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is ready for the charge of Antonio Margarito at Cowboys Stadium in Texas. He expects the tough Mexican boxer to do two things on Saturday night - apply a lot of pressure and target the body often. Pacquiao says he is ready for both. The fight could start at a very fast pace. Pacquiao's early strategy will depend on Margarito's early attack.

pac thinks hes going to have all this time to do all these things, first off since when does pac throw uppercuts? secondly no matter how many situps he does he will always be susceptible to body shots.pac better be ready to eat a lot of punches because margs isnt clottey or gaylahoya that sit there its going to be a non stop barrage, that coupled with the fact that manny dont even tie up, should be provide a war.mannys talking too much and he never talks like this.mannys is very fast but that doesnt garuntee his victory.

No disrespect, but if you're a part of Team Pacquiao who knows him long enough then I'd believe you.

But if you're just basing it on his most recent fights and videos from 24/7 on his training then you're just talking outta your azz.

Like I said, Manny throws uppercuts, at the early part of his career, now he's fighting taller fighters he doesn't use it but instead his left hooks suffices.

pac doesnt need to tie up cuz hes a counter puncher. when he slips margaritos jab or ducks under margaritos hook hes gonna throw a hook / uppercut. Margarito chin WILL be broken this fight

man,man,man..mannys not really a counter puncher,he can counterpunch but that isnt his m.o...i see tony training to tie up manny after he unleashes his combos..i see the game plan clear as day...manny wants to turn tony and use his hooks...tony wants to maul manny go to the body and tie manny up to stop him from getting off
