Rewatched the Pac fight and.....

[RetroSpeed05]

It was very interesting seeing the reaction between someone like Pac to someone like Kov when there opponent fights dirty.

Pac looked 2 weight divisions smaller was consistently fouled much worse then Kov was in the Ward fight as this happened almost every round with rabbit punching, elbows, headlocks, leaning down on Manny trying to drain him. Yet he never complained to the ref.

Not condemning Wards low blow because i thought it was stopped premature. But to see a old Manny come back like a warrior and show his heart in round 9 was really great to see.

I noticed that too. I think that was part of the gameplan his team drew up when the fight was made. Horn was already an aggressive fighter. I think they wanted to emphasize that with Manny coming off of a long layoff along with him being older. They wanted Manny to feel his age. I'm sure they encouraged Horn to get a little dirty in there. The fouls weren't terrible. Some of them were worse than others. I think Teddy or Tim eluded to it when they said that Horn is coming at Pacquiao with everything.

As for Pac not complaining, he's just one of those fighters who understands that it is a fight. It's not always going to be clean. That's the nature of it.
