Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Will Only Spar 90-100 Rounds For Mayweather

[Evol]

I understand working more on strategy but you need to apply that technique in ring and only way to do that is by sparring even if you cut back on how long sparring rounds are

they dont need to push pac and have him war it out in sparring. what they need to do is slow down the sparring and work more on what to do, etc. im not saying to not spar at all. im saying they need to tone it down on it.

so 90-100 rounds is not enough to work on those things? LOL.

he not fighting an Algeria type fighter he need to have his strategy and technique perfect snd implanted in his brain so that he has the perfect fight roach says he needs to beat floyd

[ADP02]

why is it odd?? what benefit will pac get sparring 200 rounds?? i like what roach is saying. they will work more on strategy and technique. this is what they need to do to beat floyd. pac doesnt need any more sparring wars.

For one, I hope that there are no injuries and that is the real reason for this. Secondly, if its not broke, why fix it? Meaning, have they used this approach in the past? If they have not, why would you risk by changing that aspect of his camp? This is the biggest fight of his life.

I get what Roach is saying. Sparring can take something out of you so its best not to overdo it ...... but that is the closest thing to mimicking what will happen come May 2nd. For one, Manny does not train year round, so this is the time to do it ..... and like I said before, if that was his approach before(more sparring), maybe that is what helps him prepare well to go the full 12 rounds at a high work rate.

I hope Manny comes in healthy and is ready for 12 hard rounds. I feel that Floyd usually takes over the 2nd part of his fights in part because his opponent usually come in not as good or I should say, ring ready shape.

I smell the old fart reloaded around here.

Rocky didn't even spar 1 round when he fought and beat the undefeated Drago

Heard Drago's manager was Haymon. He paid all those available sparring partner not to spar with Rocky.

Your truly one of the top flo-mos in the nation. congratulations guy. not only do you show hate for pac, but you criticize his team for every little thing. (Arum, roach, bubboy, and anyone pro pac)Nothing you say has any value, cause your so transparent. Grow up kid. Btw, are you the pac fan or are you the brother who rides with floyd(member that whole thing you made up)?

im a pac fan and u have to admit he cannot fight on the inside or defent an upper cut or a right hand... why does anytime anyone points this out hes a flo-mo or a pac hater????? nobody said pac wasnt great these are just facts, he makes up for this in other ways bro its okay

Yes I admit pac has no inside game. Never has. He makes plenty of mistakes in the ring but only marquez was able to figure him out, after 4 fights. My point is he down talks anybody associated with pac for no good reason. Maybe u didn't catch our convo, but if pac had all these so called flaws, and makes all these mistakes he's always talking about, then how has he made it through this far, alrdy being considered at ATG, and his career isn't even done yet. Thats why I call him a *****. I love both fighters, I hate both over the top fanboys.

Smart move by roach, keeps PAC frsher no need to spar that many rounds and get worn down before a fight, plus smart not to us slow sparring. Plus he is coming from a fight. No long layoff. The cramping problem is probably from ill fitting shoes. Maybe he lacks potassium

Mayweather started sparring early, probably has more than 200 rounds recorded at 5 minutes a round, with ten different spar mates. That's obsessive, I don't know how he can spar that much and not overtrain, unless he uses something, at his age he defies logic, even b Hopkins doesn't spar that much at his age.

Freddies concerned Manny will become disinterested facing slick boxers emulating Floyd in training.....

Having a long amatuer career can shorten your pro career, as can too much sparring i would imagine. Didnt Terry Norris spar too much and it shortened his career or something.?
