    DeLaHoya; 5'10

    - longer reach and a great jab.

    Martinez; 5'10

    - mediocre jab.

    Deal. Question is, what's the split homie!

    I'm reserving judgment on a prediction until the Bradley fight, btw.

    In terms of Marquez, he was able to do it by being so close to Pacquiao and ducking so low. He was able to stretch feet and lower his base, and come up from under with uppercuts and straights through the guard. I think Manny has a harder time keeping his hands up against a smaller opponent, since his opponent is down low, and has to swing at their level. Other than that, Marquez said he tried to move the "other way" outside of Pac's left, but that he simply took the angle away and didn't let him.

    With Morales, Morales just got in his ass on the inside. He switched it up between boxing and exploding with offensive bursts, but those bursts were suffocating, especially since Pac's counter-punching game and defensive movement weren't nearly as polished.

    this how I have it. He's always thinking. Once the majority of fighters get stuck in the mode, that's what they stay in. Floyd was able to transition into inside fighting for the 11th Jose round then go right back to boxing for the 12th.

    :yep

    :hi: miss me? I've been in minnesota working for my uncle. I'm living with my cousin and he has no internet so I've mostly been posting very little from my phone.
    And on my phone, I'm logged in under ripper11, so you can tell when I'm on the computer now

    :lol: it's pathetic right. This ******* is 35 years old and has two blueray players, a ps3 and just bought two speakers for his new car, but doesn't want to buy a computer :patsch
    He's just a store manager though, but makes good money. His other brother is a supervisor of 4 stores and the other brother is co-owner of 4 stores with his dad while his dad co-owns the other 4 stores with his wife

    :yep it's straight. I can almost work whenever I want to. I wouldn't want to do this crap for the rest of my life or depend on it to make a living though
    screw you :twisted:

    No. He still fight them one way using intelligent pressure. He doesn't rotate to avoid the straight left hand. At the same time though, he seem to use the jab to disrupt their offense rhythm and get off first.

    Mosley and Ortiz? GTFO. The Cotto fight was definitely close and competitive.
