Why does Manny Pacman arm punch?

[AlexKid]

Dont get me wrong in a real fight he puts some serious body torque behind his punches but on a training video I saw it.

Like there are clips of his hand speed and it is extremely fast, but he dosnt put his hips into each punch, if he did it would have been alot slower (in succession one after the next)

I presume its some kind of training method, but I cant see how it would help!?

Why does he do it?

Also the speed bag, for some reason does seem to help, but its odd, you dont arm punch in boxing unless its a jab, and the way you hit the speed bag is nothing like the way you throw a punch not even a jab, so what exactly is it for?

Ask Cotto, Marg, Barrera, Morales, JMM, Hatton and Oscar what those arm punches felt like

[DeadLikeMe]

Because he is lazy and has no passion anymore.

In his training video he threw loads of arm punches really fast! I have no idea why.

I get what TS is saying. Like when Manny does those quick 1-2s on the mits. A lot of fighters do that. It just builds speed in the shoulders and arms. It's a way to fatigue your shoulder muscles out, and not rely on your legs to give you a base.

It's not a big deal, just something fighters do to condition their shoulders.
