Macklin did the same thing shane mosley did to pacquiao

[Reloaded]

I actually thought the same thing, because prior to him gassing in the 10th, he was on his way to victory and really timing/countering the **** outta Sergio.

Fatigue set in, he stop moving his head as much and paid for it.

Had nothing to do with the pace and clean shots he was eating did it , do you know what breaking down a fighter means .

If you called what happened last night (breaking down a fighter) then you don't know **** about boxing. How the hell is throwing one punch while getting countered (and also losing the fight) considered breaking down an opponent?

What's wrong with this argument is that while Macklin does tends to tire out in the late rounds, that's only because he usually fights 3 minutes a round while being an aggressive volume puncher. There's no reason why he should have tired due to to stamina issues this time because he fought an extremely cautious fight and barely threw any punches. The reason why he slowed down near the end was because Martinez was beating him up.

Sergio stepped up a few levels after that 'knockdown', that's why he won.

He kicked it up a few gears, started to punish Macklin and those clean punches began taking effect. He didn't gas, he actually paced himself very well. Martinez just moved to that next level, a level that Macklin and most other fighters don't have.

He lost due to having mental lapses in the 10th, thus getting hurt.....which ultimately created a snow ball effect that lead to him getting KTFO.

Those mental lapses were due to fatigue. I mean it happens, and Sergio was the better man.

All I'm saying is that if Macklin would have continued the pace he was on, he would have beaten Martinez. His activity dropped big time going into the 10th and 11th round, and when he stopped moving his head, he got obliterated by Sergio.

[QUOTE=Paclan;11904573]He played complete defense and fought and countered off martinez's aggression- thats why they look bad.

The difference between last night and may 5 though is that shane mosley found out he couldnt counter manny and when he did, he couldnt slow him down.

just like floyd cant slow him down



Nah man, totally different approaches. Macklin was trying to make Sergio lead to try get him on the counterpunching end, Mosley came out to survive and of course his payday.

And getting beat up makes you fatigued and have mental lapses! I'm not sure what's the point of making up a hypothetical scenario where Macklin didn't get fatigued. It's similar to saying if Macklin wasn't hurt by those punches, he would won the fight.

Your and idiot it was nothing like a shot Mosley , Macklan was young strong , was punching hard and everything was loaded , Sergio broke him down and KOed him , Pac couldnt catch or cut off an old shot scared fighter who showed once again Pac is lost in crampworld when you can box with skill , Pac likes Cwed drained slow fighters or old shot ones , and now that the CW crap has caught up to him he fights JWWs but calls himself a WW but CWs inside the WW division , lol piss of with your Pac bullsheeet !

Macklin has no where the skill set of Mosely. He also was stopped once before and has a tendacy to gas out.

However, the TS is silly, and I am a PAC fan. Not even sure if some of these PAC fans are trolls or not
