What Makes manny So Dominant In Exchanges & Trading

[REDEEMER]

Speed and timing i'd say. Can also hit back immediately while being hit as he parrys punches very well.

Manny was making fun of Keith in the buildup to the fight about how he throws his punches so wide and has no defense while he's punching.

yea man manny kept defending against Keith's wide close range right hook last night

It must have been telegraphed like a mofo to a high level atg

Speed, Power, Chin...Defense. Defense may come as a surprise but there's something I noticed Manny Pacquiao does when throwing punches that gets him out of harms way while being dangerous. Manny sometimes doesn't look at his opponent when throwing punches because he knows where their head is going to be. When he lunges in with his left hand, he'll drop his head avoiding whatever's coming back while connecting with his own punch. He doesn't have to see his opponent because he already knows where their head will be.

Good eye. He anticipates like almost no other.

This is how manny is trained

Written in his book that he fires at where he thinks the target will be not where it currently is

Anticipates the location of the mark with the strike

Theres the tangible aspect: the speed, he's unorthodox, the angles he creates, the power.

But more than that, it's the intangible: the determination, the commitment to land (and potentially take a shot in the process). The will to win. -- Growing up in abject poverty will give you these traits, they can't be taught.

This thread makes me realize how much of a genetic freak manny is. Possibly more athletically gifted than Floyd [clearly superior in the reflexes department]

Not Roy Jones or Tyson but close.

As Keef put it prior to the fight: "Manny has those little t-rex arms"

The shortest distance from point A to point B is a straight line.

Having went to school in pinas and see my relatives as they group up, poverty either builds you into an alpha or breaks you. If you think he is relentless in boxing you should see how he takes his other career, he was already a champ, went back got his GED then a college degree and is working on his masters atm.

I mean he was never a good public speaker but he looks much more comfortable now at the presser last night.

Call me crazy but he will be a future president in the Philippines. Mark my words, he has a lot of good yet to do and IMO will fight at least 2 more times before he hangs it up.

Its about leaving a last legacy for him now and he is showing it.

Spence vs Porter gonna be interesting because Manny will be fighting the winner.

Speed, volume and angles.

Yeh, in the post fight interview he was asked why he keeps fighting and his response was something along the lines of doing it for god and for the fans - these fights are pretty much just solidifying his legacy at this point. Like he needs to.

He's a great fighter, an ATG and we had the privilege watching him in his prime.
