Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Had Killer Instinct, But a Little Slower

[QballLobo]

I agree, it seemed like pac was hesitant to commit to alot of his shots unless he knew Bradley wasn't in a position to counter him. The old Pac trusted his footwork and speed to see the counters coming and could get in and out.
This version of Pac is a lot more calculated and aware of not getting into exchanges he can't handle. He really didn't have to worry about that against a flat footed Rios but Bradley's speed was a factor. I guess that's what age and getting planked will do to a guy...

Because Bradley is not a slow fighter.

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

yea he was fast but not as fast but that was expected. hes doing good for his age but against certain styles he will wont look so great

Pac didn't look tired at all. Bradley looked gassed by the 7th round. Pac did look a tad slower but he was smart, precise and controlled the entire second half of that bout.

So much for Fortune's work.....

Pacquiao did look slower than in the Rios fight. Something was off about him.

When 2 fast guys fight each other. They tend to make each other look slow.

First half of the fight, I agree. He looked noticeably slower then he did in 2012-2013. But the second half, he was opening up and throwing more big combinations with pretty damn good hand speed then he has in awhile.

The biggest different is his footwork isn't used as much as before. He only goes side to side with different angles occasionally now.

But I've noticed that since he fought Mosley. So is he really much different from 2011....I don't think so or see it. I do see a difference from his 2009 self though.

I was bout to bash Fortune's work cuz Manny did look an all time slow BUUUT he did not gas out like Bradley did. That least he was able to hold on till the 12th unlike the firs fight.
Lets face it Pac fans, Pacquiao hasnt been p4p#1 Pacquiao since 2010 against Margarito...FREAKEN 4 years ago already!! That time has been and hes a different fighter now

[IST-ra-GLEr2]

PAC was a lot slower, a lot more hesitant, visibly more fragile in the chin, his stamina isn't as good, but still a damn good fighter.

UH...HE IS 35 the guy is getting OLDER what do you expect?

But yes the Power and Speed seems to be fading a bit but still good enough to beat MOST at 147
