Manny adjusts to his opponent's offense

[Paclan]

This is why you don't see anybody opening up on manny like they normally do.

After each exchange, he starts timing you and seeing openings you didn't know you had. But he can only time you if you attack, and because they get punished every time they attack, his opponents become reluctant.

How come he couldn't adjust to Marquez repeatedly countering him with right hands?

you mean back when he was a jab jab left hand leap fighter?

He has not fought an opponent with any kind of offense.

cotto and hatton?

and margarito has zero defense- give the guy some credit for what he's accomplished.

That's all he did against 40 year old, blister footed, torn ACL Mosley and could not knock him out.

Pacquiao fights the same as he always did. His opposition has just been so bad that he looks better. That's what happens when you don't take competitive fights - you look better than you are.

I am not a hater of Pacquiao at all, I thought he was good before even when he did lose and would be in competitive fights, but recently he has not fought anybody competitive.

He's the same fighter now that he was then. Lol Margarito hit him a lot.

No, back when Freddie Roach said he was an improved fighter with a devastating right hand and he would destroy Marquez in this second fight.

Get real man. He has not been able to adjust to Marquez in 24 rounds. We will see what happens in November though.

jmm is a counterpuncher...not really an offensive fighter...and jmm's claim on winning over pac has no factual basis...actually, he should have lost twice if not for an error on the judge scoring....jmm's hyping over pac just gave jmm that aura that he is better than the others who had face pac.....but the pac jmm faced b4 is already a much better one now
