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

He looked pretty old against Maidana breh

Who outweighed him by 20lb, knew how to cut off the ring, was much stronger and bigger than Pac and knew how to use that weight against Floyd.

I don't believe it's a triange theory. I am using logic. Floyd is a smarter fighter than Marquez and he was able to figure Pac out. This is not just ring smarts, I didn't include the fact that Floyd is faster, longer, stronger, bigger, better defense, a better counter puncher, more accurate. I am NOT saying that Floyd beats him because Marquez did, I am saying that if Marquez who is not as ring smart as Floyd can figure him out, than so can Floyd.

Ok, "he adapted". I said easily because he was not getting hit by the same punch that hurt him previously.

floyd fights different from marquez though. just because they're both counter puncher it doesnt mean they fight the same or that what marquez did will work with floyd. its funny because when i first started debating with u, u seem like a legit dude and then now ur starting to sound just like every other floyd fans with the "oh will marquez did it", but u guys are the first to shoot a pac fan down for doing the same thing when it comes to manny.

I think when you compare technical fighters to offensive fighters, you're not really capturing the fight game. Technical fighters normally have an advantage due to positioning, controlling distances, and capitalizing on mistakes. Offensive fighters plan is to overwhelm you with volume.

If you look at Algeria vs Manny, you will see him capitalize on Manny's mistakes, and Manny forced him to defend by being offensive.

Do you think Floyd will stand in front of Manny the first two rounds to feel his power and get his speed down or will he get his respect early?

I think he is going to use the first few rounds to all of the above. I also think that the respect that he is going to get most is going to come from his work to the body.

Honestly, I like the idea of Pac just avoiding the traps and right hands.

With that said, Pac needs to be Pac who only Pac is the greatest at being Pac, lol

How does Freddie now understand how to avoid the traps and right hands after Manny has been eating them during his time training Manny. Is he saying for this fight, we're going to now be defensive responsible?

pac doesnt bully his opponents with his size. he does it with his speed and accumulated punches.

He just said he's working on it, not that they're changing Pac's style.

Yes, the body work is the key. Both have legitimate punches, both have speed. But Floyd murders the body. Jabs, straight rights, and left hooks off the right hand to the body. I haven't heard many people on this forum talk about the body work that Floyd does. Hell, I saw him do his lunging left hook to the body against Zab and Guerrero.

Amazing body punches.
