Marquez sparring for pacquiao 3

[DrewWoodside]

shoot, i dunno, i hope this sparring vid was shot at the conclusion of a long day of training.

he doesn't look anywhere near as sharp as he is used to, and all that extra muscle APPEARS to be having a negative effect on his normally crisp combination punching. on top of that, his balance looks off - he isn't pivoting, nor is he using his legs to set up his counter-punching angles, both of which are characteristics that make marquez the fighter he is.

i could be wrong, and by no means am i an expert, but his current build looks a bit too bulky for his frame and fighting style. the strength coach should've attempted to balance his physique out more by adding some of that mass to his legs instead of concentrating it all on the upper body. he looks as stocky as miguel cotto for goodness sake!

Looks like JMM is trying to match Pacquiao's strength. Not sure that's a good idea. I agree with everything you're saying, it looks a bit bulky on his frame. He should be playing to his own strengths, not Pacquiao's. Suspect strategy IMO.

The guy in the white singlet and his nice dolce&gabbana slipper like shoes..looks like he came straight from the shopping mall.
