Comments Thread For: Roach, Pacquiao Have No Issues With Bayless As Ref

[bojangles1987]

Bayless shouldn't matter unless Mayweather tries to fight like Wlad and actively seeks clinches instead of just tying up when Pac is near.

[STREET CLEANER]

Some way shape or form the Pac fans are going to find a fault in this even when Pac and Roach say the don't have a problem

You're saying PAC doesn't clinch because he's not inside often.

But when he is in very close quarters, he doesn't punch, he clinches one arm and waits for the ref

It's so seldom, perhaps I never noticed. ..it's just rare. In those cases, maybe he's just catching a breather.

I still think ..vs. Rios was the only time he preferred clinching anytime he was very close. Against other opponents, it's not noticeable because more often than not, Pac was dominating.

Once Floyd jr taste Manny's Power,He'll run all night.Once he got cornered,his elbow is the next weapon!

Floyd is light years ahead of PAC in terms of inside fighting

Sparring and in fights PAC doesn't fight inside

[Dr Rumack]

Pac won't initiate clinches. But that's not the issue. The issue is what will Bayless do if Floyd clinches Manny every time Manny gets him in range. Floyd is good enough to do that.

Will Bayless warn and penalise Floyd, or will he do nothing? My guess is the latter.

I just hope it doesn't matter either way in the end.

As long as either fighter doesn't hold, I'm fine with Floyd bringing it to Pac... It's Pac's job to keep distance and not smother his punches.

All of these nonsense about Pac not being able to fight on the back foot will be squashed, when he De La Hoya's Floyd on May 2nd!

If he does, then it'll be very obvious since he didn't let Maidana clinch during the rematch, and it's still fresh on everyone's memory. He'll expose himself.
