Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao's Form Excels After Sparring Break

[aboutfkntime]

Not really IMO. The bags and that other stuff you can skip out on if you're sparring at the very least. I could see missing a day or two, but a whole week of no sparring is weird.

And I don't believe it's comparable to those other sports because ball players are on the move for what 8 or 9 months? A boxing camp is 2-3 months and then a long break after so every missed day of training is under the magnifying glass.

This ^^ especially the bold

[aboutfkntime]

Basketball players warm up and play for 45 minutes. Training for boxing is 100x's more grueling, it's not even comparable. Sparring is unnecessary for experienced fighters it takes a lot out of them, but more importantly they know what to do in the ring already. Missing 20 rounds of sparring isn't going to hurt anything at all.

Its about staying sharp, and making little adjustments for the style.

Training is one thing, but sparring is the only way to stay sharp.

Sparring is important for everybody, without exception.

It is also how your team get the first indicators that you may be falling off.

Was it really a full week away from sparring?

I'm starting to believe the rumors of him looking bad, or maybe they are treating an injury.

Self-imposed sanctions will not allow the texasboi15 to comment until after May 2 2015.

The fight..is 19 days away.

1,000 WORTHLESS FILIPINOS around Pacman if skipping a week is about his leg cramps. If any1 here has had an injury they know "Drs" dont' necessarily help you heal, they either 1 send to physical therapy or 2 prescribe medication. Medication which usually ****S YOU UP MORE than heals. And as we heard he's getting some medication for his legs

IF Pacquiao had gotten a PHYSICAL THERAPIST they would've taught him how to STRETCH as I've seen him doing bouncing stretches and if ANYONE here has experience healing they also know stretching and bouncing actually can cause the muscle fibers to SPASM rather than stretch. To stretch you have to HOLD and stretch for like a minute. So hopefully he got that all take care of, otherwise his WHOLE entourage is WORTHLESS as they don't even know this info about proper PHYSICAL THERAPY

Let the trainer do his job...He knows Pacman well, so we kinda expect that Pacman will gonna come out in excellent form, come fight night!

Pinoys (OFWs) are all over the world, and they'll gonna support, pray and watch Pacman's greatest fight!

Sounds like it ^^

People, quite rightly, talk about the mad shht that comes out of the Pacquiao camp at times..... but they would be crazy to admit an injury, if true.

If injured, we have no idea what type of injury Pac may have suffered.

It could be a problem with his hands, something completely new.

He may have the flu.

Who knows.

Regardless, I think they are wise to keep it quiet.

Freddie Roach is the type to tell on you in court.

The guy seriously needs to stfu, and keep to himself. News flash, Roach. You're not the one going in the ring. Stop telling everyone, everything.

What the helps going on here, I feel like both guys are going to look like **** for some reason.

I wouldn't be surprised both guys are in their late 30's
