Comments Thread For: Roach Doesn’t Think Pacquiao Will Have Cramp Problems

[twosweethooks]

This was an expected comment. I don't think anything will be surprising or new in the fight build up, let alone the fight itself.

Hopefully Pac won't hold up the fight again or else people will say he lost (if he even loses) because he made the judges wait or something.

Mang ! You love to pick on Pac

Tell me

what is JR's newest excuse for NOT signing to fight Pac ?????

The Cause of Pacquiao's Cramps

Probably Pacquiao's cramps come from the out-of-proportion body weight moving in quick changing directions versus his legs capacity. The rate of movement (quick moves) that Pacquiao normally does in fights are too fast for his present weight, as the speed is multiplied by the weight, thus the cramps. These cramps never showed before when he was still a bantamweight or lighter because his legs had no problem carrying such weight in quick changing moves. Today, however, his legs are not that solid anymore.

"Trying quicker" might have bad repercussions in the 4th quarter of the fight where in all likelihood this fight will come to a decision.

Now if IIRC, a lot of media hype was focused on Manny for the third fight, just like now. Anyone know what Marquez is up to?

"Attacking with fast combination"? Lol i hope that is not the only strategy,

because, how can you "attack with a fast combination" if Marquez is hidden from the left hand? how can you do a combination with only ONE hand? Lol. Manny needs to establish a position where Marquez is not hidden from the left hand, BOTH hands!

Lead foot outside So you can Pivot, That way You turn Marquez COUNTER-clockwise, don't let him turn you clockwise, do Side to side, Lateral movements, It will confuse the shit out of him. Dont let jmm step on your foot! Dont do too much in and out, he likes that shit, he slip/bob/pivot/hides to your right or just steps back/slide and he's out of range.


"Attacking with fast combination" helped in fights 1 and 2 because of Manny's speed and athleticism and was still fast, young and prime. He slowed down a bit.

Edit: many of those "fast combinations" missed by the way, because of Marquez's strategy, because Manny was in awkward punching angle. But the work rate saved Manny imo.

Its gonna be a tough fight for pacquiao a knockout is way far fetched as far as the fight with bradley...basketball game had nothing to do with anything pacquiao won the fight easily.

Obviously Freddie Roach knows that the Celtic game was probably the reason for the loss. It's funny how they made the polar comparison to Floyd when they said that he's just one fighter and he's not bigger than the sport by demanding extra testing. Then this guy goes and puts the whole boxing world on pause while he watches the Celtic game. The judges made him pay for wasting everyone's time. Everyone who bought tickets to the live event, the closed circuits, and PPV's had to wait until King Manny's done watching his game and stretching out his calves. Are you kidding me??? That's very disrespectful and he must think the boxing world revolves around him.
