Garcia and Margaritos plan go to the body.will it work?.

bess belie dat, baby

It doesn't help that Tony throws bodyshots like Jermain Taylor throws right hands.
Pull it back, hold it, then let the punch go.
Doing that against someone as offensive and fast as Pac isn't going to work.
Do you remember what happened the last time Pac fought someone who threw punches like that.(Hatton)
Tony reaching back to throw his bodyshots is just inviting a combo of punches.

It could be a good idea but i don't think Manny is going to let him be effective to the body, he is going to hit Margarito alot.

That is very true.

Yeah, basically. Momentarily I began to think maybe Margarito could pull it off, but he's just going to take too many clean shots. His pressure won't be effective because when he approaches, Pac will get his combos off and dart away in angles. I can't wait to see the punch totals when it's all said and done.

And you have to remember Pac is not a counterpuncher.He unleash when he sees an opening and he does it with such speed and quantity enough to lose his opponents composure and to more openings.

watching that sparring video it looks like pac will rip his face apart and Margs body attack straight up wont even work

Agreed. And they are also saying that Pac does not carry his punching power to the jr.middleweight ....they must be delusional. Since Margarito himself do not carry his jaw and power to that class as well.And Pac is going to stick close to welterweight in the scale 149 perhaps not to lose any speed.

But I have'nt seen any strengthening exercise in any video for this fight.Does anyone have them?.

[Amazinger]

People need to realize that Margs is going to be punching Pac's body with 8oz gloves and not the pillows you use for sparring.

And Pac will be cracking his jaw with another 8oz gloves too..

as long as antonio margarito can handle the shots thrown at him by pacquiao he should build some steam and try to pound away as much as he can on manny's shoulders,thighs,and midsection i think its a more of a common sense notion that he will be looking for opening's to the smaller pacquiao's body.

now this might work^^^^^^^^^

Something I picked up, G. And I don't I don't know if it will help or not but it appears they are concentrating on distance as well. They think it's their advantage and they are right. I suspect they are concentrating on long lefts to the ribs from the outside where Margarito doesn't have to bend too low, and only going to the body when they get very close. Anything else would be dumb IMO.

That's what I think too.or it's a ruse so that Team Pac will be weary of that body shot.I agree Margarito have to use that long reach advantage and punch away to collect points.As I don't think he has the power to TKO Pac.

After watching 24/7 and they said that they will go to the body when they fight this weekend.Do you think it will work?.

it's not a horrible plan. you gotta slow pac down. but pac and roach are working on countering marg's body shots, so marg gotta keep his right hand glued to his face when he's hooking to pac's body with the left.

And do you think Margarito can handle the southpaw in Pacquiao?.

doubt it, but anything can happen.

It's boxing not MUAY THAI!!
If he can handle the punches then he can just stand in the corner and let Pac hit him and that will tire and frustrate Pac enough for Pac to quit like Duran did. .

marg should really use his reach and height to his advantage. he needs to jab alot and throw the straight right hand. he should only go to the body when pac is on the ropes. and also he should be prepared to throw the left hook or left uppercut when pac jumps in to catch pac when he ducks under and moves to marg's left to turn marg. if marg fights tall, pac's right hook won't be able to counter his left hook/uppercut.
