Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Won't Force The Knockout, Won't Be Reckless

[feroth]

"knockouts should come naturally they can't be forced, but Freddie likes knockouts and I like to make him happy"...Manny's biggest issue might just come from his biggest asset and that's the same guy that built him up from an average filipino slugger to one of the best P4P fighters in the last 20 years. Freddie's a great trainer but I've never heard a top level trainer constantly tell the media and their fighters that "we have to get a knockout, if we don't get a knockout it will be bad, it's been too long since we had a knockout and we have to go for the knockout, knock this guy out for me"....yes knockouts are great and sure you train your fighter to be an offensive monster but there's no need to be reckless to get KO's or to be great offensively and exciting. Some people say Manny's greatest asset is his aggressiveness and he lost that in the Rios fight but what I saw was a Manny that had improved as far as ring IQ and patience are concerned even tho he had declined slightly in terms of power and stamina...the stamina and power went down a bit only because of age and the wars he's been in but besides that I saw a much more unbeatable Manny, the same Manny that fought Oscar with care and skill because he assumed he would be fighting a bigger man and a more dangerous puncher...that's how Manny should always fight, and this bull**** reckless KO hungry advice is what gets Manny caught and in trouble. I really hope to see the same Manny i saw vs Rios plus better conditioning and confidence in his chin as opposed to the aggressive careless brawler that Roach and Bradley are hungry to see in the ring

Sound like Pac getting a bit worried now about his chin.

Wouldn't you??? Lol

Most fighters would of got dropped by the first shot and definitely KO'ed by the second! Some people on here think fighters are super heroes

That's EXACTLY what I wanted to hear from Pac. If he would've been on some, "Bradley's power doesn't worry me, I will go in right away, and go for the KO", I would've said, Bradley by decision.

Bonehead comments that Pac is worried about his chin? Really???? You think Bradley hits harder than Rios? Manny embarrassed Rios. Same happens to Bradley this time around clown.

Stop making bonehead comparisons, you know , i know, everyone knows rios aint as good as bradley....stop being a clown.

And exactly which quote of his makes you believe this??

Its not a quote, its common sense,anytime a man gets knocked out cold like that, it will be in the back of his mind, and he will be weary of that....it will never go away, the impossible has already happened to pacquaio!

Pac has to box to beat Bradley, if he can outbox him he will get a KO chance in the latter rounds. Not saying it will be easy though.

I think bradley will try to hold alot try to keep pac from hitting him in close and try to run box as much as possible once he gets his head dazzed and confused i think pacs going to afventually stop bradley with his punching power 8th round lol If not knock bradley out early in 2 rounds lol wouldnt that be sweet ha ha. Never know"
