late in his career Whitaker was not fast enough to slip multiple punches and counter like early in his career later it was one or the other He would absolutly punish manny after about round 3 the first three would be close then the fun would start for sweet pea its just the way he fought the better the opponent the longer it took him to get going and figure the guy out but once he did he cruised I give manny 3 rounds tops
