Comments Thread For: Roach Has Pacquiao Focused To Avoid Right Hand, Traps

[GRUSTLER]

Roach couldn't help Manny through 4 fights with the same oponent in regards to the right hand. Manny is going to be Manny and punched in the face all night with right hands.

That is one problem I see with Mayweather, he observes his opponent to get a better feel of patterns/timing before putting the gas on. When you have someone who's movements and timing is not only very quick, but very unorthodox that observation time is very dangerous. Of course Floyd is the best at what he does, at the same time, so is Pac.

True statement...good post

Didn't say that dude..... if you look at those fights in particular, the rights he caught with his face, he can not take from Mayweather, those were two examples, but he gets hit a ton with straight rights. Its the main shots he gets rocked by. Pac gets lazy with his jabs constantly....he tends to roll it when he doubles up, or drops it low with no intentions, trying to get off his straight left...he comes in head first.





Imo, Pacs biggest weakness is that punch. Yes, he overcomes it with his offense, but that will be a much harder task when its Mayweather, especially when its Mayweathers best and hardest punch.

Although the video is biased and can make anyone look bad, just look at when he gets hit, lazy jab 95% of the time.

That punch is is greatest weakness, however, his strait left is his greatest strength. Have you not noticed that he is far more careless with that strait right when he doesn't respect his opponents power? Floyd's lead-strait is definitely better than Pac's opponents but keep in mind, he doesn't sit on it, its a point punch, a disruptor but not a knockout punch.

For every fight Pac has been that the strait right lands on him...please tell me, what was more effective, the strait rights, or his strait lefts? I can't think of a time where someone's lead-right landed more often and with more authority than pac's lead-left. I'm sure he'll eat plenty of Floyd's right, however, how many of Pac's left with Floyd taste?

I don't know how you can change for one fight at 36, as in get better elusively or defensively. Their only chance is that Mayweather changes, comes in slower, lost reflexes, shot legs. As far as a fighter getting better in his mid 30s, that's not impossible but it is rare. You already have to have great fundamentals of boxing.

if i am a floyd fan, this clearly is an excuse

[Rath]

The mistake Roach is saying he's working on, will not be fixed. Not at this point.

it should be a good news for floyd fans don't you think?

[Rath]

He's not going to be watching the feints. He'll be watching Manny's feet.

the way marquez watched Pac feet.

[Rath]

If this were true, there is no way Team Manny would release it to the media. I get that they are playing to their fanbase which keeps the buzz for this fight at a high level.

Besides, Floyd and his Team can't be so ****** that they would base their plan on anything Team Manny puts out in the press.

just like floyd sr says about the significance of Pac's leg cramp and floyd's reaction not focus on leg cramps

Marquez 4, that straight right was more effective..... Also, I don't think Floyd eats to many of his lefts. Floyds defense is ridiculous(if he does get hit and he feels he can't deal with it, he will control distance and outpoint Manny)...also I never said Mayweather will knock Pac out, but I do think he will make him wobble several times.

Hope the phillipies has a good sewage system. Would hate for the country to flood from tears

why would anybody need a sewage system for a flood of tears? maybe drainage system is what you mean?

that is far worst than "then and than"

Sewage is a water-carried waste, in solution or suspension, that is intended to be removed from a community

[Rath]

Exactly !!! Pac problem is not just the right hand, Pac is fundamentally challenged defensively.

When you have a fighter that has as many tools as floyd does, this going to be trouble. Floyd knows how to skin a cat more then one way.

actually, there are four. clinch, elbow, run and dance.
