I don't get it either. I have Pac make small adjustments such as switch up the angle of punches and the use of certain punches but I haven't really ever sen him have to adapt his approach to a fight based on overcoming some strategical advantage the opponent possesses. The simple foot placement thing:Roach comes up with great game plans usually,but once the game plan doesnt work there is no plan b.last night manny was confused and frustrated and roach didnt even have any advice to offer...now im not 1 to act like manny didnt have his moments hell he swole marquez up,but he didnt hurt him,knock him down and he got outboxed again and never adjusted at all.why cant he adjust?
I even posted this very thing yesterday around noon or so. The thing that stood out the most to me during the last 24/7 was the fact that Kellerman was standing the 2 guys up after watching highlights from the 2nd fight and he was literally telling Pac how to overcome JMM's ability to land the right hand by switching up his foot placement. I also said that this very fact lead me to believe that there were some very nervous people around HBO who desperately wanted Pac to win and there were doubts about the quality of Pac's performance. As if they were trying to essentially give him a cheat sheet for the test.
Even so, Pac still got tagged by the right and kept circling the wrong way....I don't get it...I also said that when push comes to shove, people will always revert back to what feels comfortable and natural to them, not what you drill them to do at the gym.Comment

Because he has no defense.
He's a 300hp Supra without brakes or a reverse gear.
So of course he won't adjust. It's his style. Just like Margarito; who also can't adjust.Comment

Exactly, the strategy with Linares against DeMarco was just plain crap at the end... Linares was clearly winning, there was no need to exchange punches with Tony ... he just had to use his jab and move around the ring ... but well, we all saw what happened ...Comment
