Video: Technical Analysis of Pacquiao's boxing

[Spoon23]

Five to ten years from the day Pac retires therell be a resurgence of the Pacquiao style of boxing or variations of it as Pacquiao sets as a new benchmark for fighting.

You mean like how the great Michael Jordan changed the game of basketball.

Pac's game is so different from others, that only the new bread of boxers will pick it up.

Actually the MMA are using his straight left punch. Calling it the Pacqiuao punch. Kids and pros are picking up his game.

He truly is a new style of boxing to be taught.

Manny Pacquiao is underrated as a boxer. I am glad he got back to boxing. It may not be as exciting but the power will always be there.

Maybe this is the case. Watching the fight live, most didn't get that impression. We aren't in there so we can't know. I am sure the punches did hurt.

Just wish tim had stuck with the gameplan that was working rather than shift to the one punch, stand on the ropes and wave manny on ridiculousness he went with.

It all goes away once you get hit.

Tyson says it best.

'Everyone has a plan until you get hit'

Timmy did, but when those punches were stinging. Survival mode comes in effect.

He did this with a guy who abandoned his boxing and tried to land one singular shot over the last 6 rounds of the fight. Lets not take the instances where Pac may have thrown a 6 pucnh combo and act like that is what was done the whole fight.

There isn't a need to overexaggerate what manny did. He fought a good fight and won the same he did the 1st fight.

Why isn't that enough. why does a certain segment of his fans try and make it like he did something no one has ever seen just because they only watch manny and its something they have never seen?

so name me a "boxer" who was dominating his opponents and then threw a 5-6 punch combo in the process besides manny?? u make it seem like pac could only do that because of his choices of opponents yet we havent this from any other boxers.

Great, great video. I have been watching boxing since the early 90's. I'm no expert by any means. This video made me realize I know a lot less about this sport than I thought I did. Which in turn made me realize that a lot of the posters on this board and everywhere else may know even less than that. I'm a Pacquiao fan, but I definitely appreciate him a lot more now. Manny is the definition of the sweet science. This video pretty much shatters all the crap the Floyd fans have been spewing. Guess he's not just a one-dimensional brawler after all. Looks like his ring intelligence is a lot higher than what he was given credit for.

Spoon.....You made an excellent point here.



The Floyd fans would have you believe that Bradley was fighting ****** and just swinging for the fences. After looking at the video you can clearly see the mind of Pacquiao at work.

The Floyd and Bradley fans will have you believe that Bradley would have won if he didn't hurt his feet, ankles, etc. We now see what happens when you're worried about getting hit by Pac and what his ring movement is able to do.

I always thought that Pacquiao would edge out Floyd in a close fight based on being the busier fighter. Now.........Pacquiao stops him around the 9th or at the very least gets a UD 8 rounds to 4. Floyd is going to look like he is playing dodge ball in there against Pac and will end up either getting his ankles messed up like Tim Hardaway just did a crossover on him or pass out from all the stamina he used trying to avoid Pac.

HARD WORK!!!! Floyd....all that hard work did was allow you to take a few more rounds of punishment. Thanks for entertaining us. Finally.

Thanks bud. I'm just simply trying to contribute to the sweet science.

You've never seen anyone but manny throw a 5-6 punch combo? I suggest you watch more boxing.

In no way am I making it seem like anything. You just can't have an adult discussion about Manny without in some way making it seem like the other poster is taking a shot at him.

[Spoon23]

dont forget to watch it in mute also!

Hahaha good call! And yet V.Webb's football sig is in slow motion too. He must love slow motion. Touchdown!

Another excellent contribution by Spoon, helping educate and sharing that knowledge upon these tiny men.

Pacquiao is one of the few wonders of boxing. Try to find another fighter in boxing history with a similar style, you will not find him. That is how unique he is. With Mayweather, you can find plenty who are similar... Whitaker, James Toney (who I believe used the shoulder roll better during his prime), etc.

The way he moves, the way he puts combinations together, the angles he throws from and the speed he does it with... The second fight proves that it is Pacquiao's awkward speedy movement that keeps causing Bradley leg injuries. He tries to keep up with Pacquiao moving at the same time which causes him to land awkwardly. One second Pacquiao is in front of Bradley, the other he is by his side.

Pac is definitely a rarity.

[Spoon23]

Probably you are an alt but I'll answer your question anyway. Pac haters said Pac doesn't know **** about boxing, pretty limited and he is relying on his athletic abilities. This video proved them wrong.

For one thing this so called boxing fans who actually don't know much about the sport, don't even know that to get to the top or even in the top 10 p4p of the world you have to have boxing skills, after all this is called boxing.

all that energy from his monstrous calves.

Yup, those calves served him well through out his 19yrs of stellar career.
