I am a huge Pac hater, we all know that. But Pacquiao looked like he was taking it easy. He did not look like the aggressive Pacquiao that shows up on fight night. To me, he was just taking the other guy lightly on purpose.
As for sparring just being sparring and nothing else. I disagree with that. It depends on when the sparring happened in training camp and how close to the fight are they. For example, everyone brushed off the rumors and photos of Ricky Hatton getting bruised up in sparring very close to the Pacquiao fight. He was getting hit hard and had his eye bruised and everyone said "it's just sparring" but look what happened to him on fight night.
But like I said about this video, sure Manny's weakness is the right hand and that guy seemed to be pretty quick too, but Manny was just taking it easy.
