Why does Manny/Roach allow training and sparring scenes? Advantage or Disadvantage?

This. But I was surprised to hear Roach say they will be going to the body to stop him - if that isn't a smokescreen.

Well if anything I think Manny needs to work on the body more than he does.
In the Margarito fight he should of stuck to the body and the fight would have been stopped had he kept going downstairs.

Body shots are very underrated.

Ya, Roach has a tendency to reveal information. In the Hatton fight he said they are gonna stand toe-to-toe and knock him out with Manny's left hand. That probably doesn't mean much, but he didn't lie about that

Don't forget the right hook.

They've been showing less and less over the years. For probably the exact same reason you're thinking about.

When they do show a little sparring in Pac's yt channel, they've shown the bits where it's Manny against Beltran or Rodela. They've kept the footage of rounds with Porter because against him is when they're really working on the game plan.

agreed, i've notice that the sparring videos being posted is short and nothing u can really base anything off of.

Cause everyone knows how HAtton fights.. Hatton is not all of a sudden turn into the best defensive fighter in the world because he heard Roach's comment. It's quite obvious.

Whoa finally someone who understands. I never seen that video before and it just validated some information on my topic. Rep for you

but they are definitely telling everyone so valuable information

^^^ LOL that video clip is classic!! hahaha.. its easier said than done huh ricky??

Pacquiao's sparring doesnt gain much advantage. He pretty much fights one way. Here it is and can you stop it? Its not like he has some secret weapon.

nice to know... I just don't understand why they show so much for everyone to see. Honestly, I would not give out any training sessions beside jump roping and hitting the bags.

why do you think they mentioned a small piece of their game plans? I believe they are giving out valuable information and i'm sure other trainers/boxers would not allow that.

Probably mind games.

Sure they can be telling the truth, but the main reason might be to get Mosley to over think his own game plan and Pacquiao's. Mind games are hit or miss, but every little bit helps. Just to get your opponent distracted for a second about what you're going to do in the ring is sometimes all it takes.
