Manny inside fighting

[JOM'S]

When Pacquiao made it to the mainstream (post Ledwaba) for some reason he didn't had inside fighting anymore, and it totally diminished when he hooked up with Freddie Roach.

But way back when Pac was fighting local, especially in the early local boxing stint "blow by blow" Pac had simple but effective fighting inside the pocket. Unfortunately no videos are available, only the KO by Torrecampo lurks on youtube .

Looks like he didn't need it anyways, coz he's already used to fight slipping in and out and got better with it.

PAC MO before was, he was willing to take one to give one ...

here are some bits and clips of young Pacquiao, wild and totally reckless

That is true, but I don't think either style causes in side fighting.

With Hatton it did, but he is a one punch and a hugger, rather than an inside fighter.

Floyd is mainly a boxer but he makes adjustments. He beat hatton on the inside which is where everyone said Hatton woukd get to Floyd. Im not saying that this is his def gameplan but if it is a weakness for Manny look for Floyd to exploit it.

I don't think this is a coincidence. If you look at roach's other fighter Amir, he can't fight on the inside either.

Yeah good eye, kinda strange, but if it works for them then I guess that's all good.

IMHO Roach is a good Coach and the main reason why he stirred PAC & KHAN not to fight inside is because of their speed, if you have it, use it ...

Only knock I have on Roach is his fighters tend to not have good head movement..they usually make up for it with good footwork and angles but are subject to fail against a good jab.

it is a mistake for Floyd to fight PAC inside, it just dangerous, reckless and will probbaly result in Floyd being KOED, IMHO if their is a PAC weakness to exploit is his vulnerability to jabs, Manny eats jabs like POPCORN and Maywather's jab is one of the best in the business...

Agree bossing.

Pac don't need to go inside the pocket anyways. I just could imagine if he had that facet of the game, he could be more potent.

I have seen more Hatton fights than most, and he is not an inside fighter at all. He is a hugger or became one.

Hatton had no chance.

When I say inside fighting I dont mean two fighters standing close to eachother and throwing punches..i mean a real clinche fight.

When fighters are leaning on eachother, have arms tangled. The type of fight where two guys are constantly pushing against eachother and bumping off with there shoulders and elbows and fighting for better position. Usually this type of fighting is only allowed with certain referees.
