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

[-Kev-]

If he's ate right hands like M&M's his whole career he's gonna eat a lot against one of the best right hands in the game.

Going to a neutral position might be the best thing to do for him defensively though. Downsides are it halts his own offense and it's also playing a dangerous game of getting him ****** into a thinking game which isn't his best territory. It'll be interesting to see what kind of follow up attack they have after that.

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.

how is it an educated opinion when u didnt explain HOW HE IS GONNA ADAPT TO IT??? so saying he will adapt because of his past fight is an educated opinion to u? LOL.

Since when does an opinion have to be explained? The "educated" part is in reference to what happened in the past. Nothing about an educated or informed opinion makes it so because it is explained. I am not in Floyds mind or camp and do not know how he will adapt(nor does outside his camp), I am just saying he will...just like every fight that he has needed to. If you don't like my sentiments, then ignore them.

why do u guys act like manny is gonna come out and be a whole new fighter and fight totally different as compare to how he usually fights? team pac is just working on small things, u guys act like roach is talking about switching manny's style completely for this fight.

there goes the "u're way too emotional involved in pac" line again LOL when im not the one on here posting shiiet like oh pac is gonna do this or that to floyd..

Yeah cuz your acting like someone stole your puppy because I said that Floyd would adapt. Show me a post where you are acting that way when someone says "Pac is gonna do this or that". I would love to see that one.

By the way, do you honestly think that Floyd WON'T adapt to the things that Pac is doing?

umm when u claim it was an "educated opinion" maybe??

and LOL at the educated part is in reference to what happened in past? if u're trying to be educated then u would know NOT everything ends up the same way.

High guard is not an advantage or disadvantage, and I agree that anything can happen with Pacman.

You're right. Just saying, he'd have to adjust his D . It's something he has hardly turned to... He did against other southpaws and he'll likely go to it against PAC.

We have to see how comfortable he is. It took him 5 or 6 rounds to adjust to Maidana's rough tactics and awkwardness...Floyd will definitely adjust. The question is, can Floyd afford the same 5 or 6 rounds to adjust to PAC?

im being emotional over this when all i asked was why do u make it seem like floyd will adapt to anything and everything pac does?

and i cant give u a straight answer on if floyd will and can adapt to what pac brings. this is why im interested in seeing how this fight will play out. i will tell u floyd will have his moments but so will manny.

its not gonna be a walk in the park like a lot of u floyd fans is trying to make this fight out to be. and if im wrong and floyd does cruise to a clear victory then floyd is the better fighter and i was wrong. i just hope u will show the same in return when manny shock the world.

Nothing about Educated opinion indicates that it has to be explained. It means I am using past to make an "educated opinion". It doesn't mean i'm trying to "educate" anyone.

We all know what Floyd does in fights. Why are we even debating this? He uses the first few rounds to figure out what his opponent does and then he adapts to it. This is one of the reasons why he is considered to have such a high boxing IQ. So, you would like us to think that he is going to throw his boxing IQ out the window for this one fight? Makes sense!

LOL!! but isnt that the exact same shiiet that the floyd fans trashed the pac fans for doing?? bringing up past experience and using it as facts as to whats gonna happen? i see the pac and floyd fans arent that different.

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