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

[sigrab jr]

Williams slapped Margarito with uppercuts mid combination plenty of times, and Shane knocked him with a perfectly timed one at least once altho he had too much success landing over hand rights to switch it up, plus he set up the straight left that led to the KD with a massive uppercut that missed. In fact Manny's the one that tends to throw his power punches straight n down the middle, Mosley n Paul both looped alot of their punches n relied on hooks. Manny can't smother Margarito cuz of his size I doubt it would do him any good, he's gotta use his feet, get in n out quick n time Margarito every once in a while with a big shot coming in...presumably that would be the left uppercut he knocked Cotto down with or a left hook like the one he KO'd Hatton with

ps. I met a girl at the mall last week that was...and I never thought I could honestly say this in my life time...but a girl that was literally the hotter version of Kristin Kreuk...if thats even possible. I died and went to heaven

Damn I would have faint if I were you. I loved Kreuk's looks since I was like 11-12 I think that's when Smallville started lol maybe I was 13.


About Pacquiao not being able to smother Margarito and needing to use his feet for the fight, I don't think that will work. You can't run from Margarito. If you see those who had success against Tony[Santos, Williams, Mosley] they were all obviously bigger than him except Mosley who wasn't small either and they fought toe to toe[Santos of all people is known for boxing and using his feet, fought toe-to-toe with Tony and actually had success] that's because Margarito makes you fight. Now if you talk about running while setting up traps using defense, and holding combined, then we're talking. But just running and throwing power punches will only work for like 4-5 rounds before Margarito[who starts slow], warms up and starts cutting of the ring, taking your biggest punches to give you some of his, breaking you down, discouraging you etc.


But with all that said, I love Kristin Kreuk with a passion. And I actually think Pacquiao will win. I'm just curious to see how he wins.

Is he gonna be able to reach him with an uppercut?

Yes of course! he's going to jump a bit to land those upper cuts. hahaha

With the way MARG fights - no jumping required. He fights like a hunch back, not tall and straight. Basically, his height advantage is gone due to that.

[SceneSpectator!]

If extra pounds slowed him down by gaining more than 147, what the hell he's doing in JMW?! I guessed 147 is his limit so he should confine himself to WW, because he could not be competitive enough in JMW with his extra pound at 148, while most of his opponents on that weight class are scaled to the limit of 154 pre-fights, and they would be much heavier on fight night. Him, he could not even afford few additional pounds from 148!

Manny's not known for effective uppercuts.

Are we all in for a surprise?...

cotto tasted it in round 4 kinda mix hook upper.... and it is not a left hook

though..

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.

i saw that fight and that upper cut was a killer!!!

[Laborer]

mannys the one who needs to watchout for uppercuts imo

or else? Have you read Marg's comment that he's not gonna quit on his stool like Oscar did, he will die in the ring? well, if marg doesn't mind his chin, from uppercuts or hooks, he might just fulfill his own prophecy!

Then he will die in the ring as he promise!

[quick reply]

Where he get burried, USA or Mexico?

[v.cassiusali@ya]

marga-resto will be the one pressured because he will be hitting air all night...

i don't see his body punches hitting or even touching the elbow of the pacman...

when he will attempt to punch, pacman is already a meter away...after planting his own combos of solid left and right.
