Manny Pacquiao vs Packey MacFarland

[/QUOTE]
Pressed the quote button by mistake.
Stylewise, Packey reminds me a little of Jim Driscoll, whom I rate higher than Kilbane or Dundee.

 

LMAO .. that is as solid as a review as it gets and supports everything I described him as. Its a 20 round fight , you understand that right?

" For whereas McFarland's style was the perfect economy of effort and of time " ...

 

An economic flicker/tapper who didn’t fight like he was in a rush. Textbook definition of a spoiler.

Like I said to your earlier post:

"Being incredibly fast of foot, dominating the distance, getting in and out scoring points, fighting on the inside when he needed to."

You’re implying a fast footed fighter who is good at controlling distance can’t be a boring spoiler? Interesting.

 

from the footage you provided.
Dominating the distance, being the aggressor with the Higher work rate, incredibly fast of foot, in and out scoring points, slipping and countering, landing lead uppercuts, fighting well on the inside leaning on him and tying him up so he cant get off, resetting and fighting tall... wtf ,, you call that a " boring spoiler " .. I cant believe this actually.. the aggressor with the higher work rate is the spoiler. You can do better than that

Ya its a 20 round fight , you are not bouncing on your toes in round 18 . You dont get it

 

Welsh was, quite literally, not doing a single thing outside of defending himself. This is apparent not only by the footage we have, but also by the reports of the fight we have. The fact that Packey had a higher work rate is pretty meaningless. Welsh fought Packey’s fight.

 

OK you believe what you want , and if being the aggressor with the higher work rate while scoring points and taking it to him is meaningless and the spoiler in the fight, then so be it. Nice chat

 

He’s not exactly rushing Welsh in an extraordinary manner, if anything the reports and footage suggest he did the bare minimum to batter Welsh and tried to take the decision. Just like a spoiler would.

 

Its funny how you are trying to equate being the aggressor with the higher work and scoring points is a spoiler not putting in a lot of effort.. Because with footage and the article you are 0 for 2. Understanding that a fight is 20 rounds so you need to be economical with energy spent is rudimentary yet extremely difficult to do Id imagine, If you dont get that then you dont.

 

Nonsense, like the rest of your posts. I haven’t backpedaled on anything, McFarland by the article’s own admission was not putting in as much effort as he could have, and the footage backs that up. This output isn’t exactly impressive when compared the output of other performances over a 20 round duration like Ritchie-Rivers, Wolgast-Nelson or Gans-Nelson for example. McFarland was doing the bare minimum he needed to do to win, as the article suggests.

You can continue to cope and act like an economic tapper (by the article own ****ing admission) who had more output than a fighter who amounted literally no offense of his own is somehow proof of him not being a spoiler, or you can also act like a fast footed fighter who is good at controlling distance can’t be a boring spoiler. That’s your choice, but it wouldn’t make you any less wrong.
But suuuure you’re 2-0 lol

 

and what does this tell you from the footage you provided. He had no offense because Packey was taking it to him. you dont get that because you said that Welsh fought his fight, but he didnt have a choice now did he. Still waiting for all these historians calling McFarland a spoiler.

He is dominating the footage. So you provided the footage to prove Packey is not putting in much effort is that it? You went from hey everyone look at this footage , Packey doesn't look that great in , nothing special. LOL , he looks great in it
you are groveling so hard dude.

 

I already provided a fight report suggesting he’s a spoiler, and your own description of his style also suggests he very well could be. I’m still waiting on proof that he wasn’t a spoiler, which you haven’t once provided because you can’t. The footage and reports suggest it, and you know I’m right.

He is dominating the footage. So you provided the footage to prove Packey is not putting in much effort is that it? You went from hey everyone look at this footage , Packey doesn't look that great in , nothing special. LOL , he looks great in it

He’s dominating someone who isn’t throwing back and he’s not even putting up that much volume when doing so, even when compared to other fighters in 20+ round bouts! He is, quite literally, putting up the bare minimum of offense and he is doing it against a very defensive Welsh who knows he doesn’t have the intellect to amount any meaningful offense against McFarland. Are you implying that a spoiler can’t have a performance like this? McFarland quite literally fought a typical dominant spoiler’s fight where his opponent couldn’t mount offense and had to be reduced to a defensive shell, and the mentioned spoiler will do the bare minimum needed to win which is what we see Packey doing from the footage! Outside of a few spurts here and there, he’s mainly just flicking and awaiting a clinch.

Also, I’m the one groveling? Is this a joke? You’re the one who’s having a literal hissy fit just because I’m calling Packey McFarland a spoiler and boring fighter which the footage we have of him suggests.

This is sad, sadder than your usual schizophrenic ramblings. I’ll say now what I’ve told you in the past; take your ****ing meds, for once. They do wonders.

 

I wouldn’t even say Packey displayed as much skill in his fight with Welsh, as an aging Jim Driscoll did against Spike Robson. He just looks kinda basic, and I consider calling him an economic minimalist to be complimentary.

 

No one said spoiler . ONLY YOU .. own it . keep groveling and picking apart the footage.. LOL . he is throwing PLENTY of punches and getting off first , outclassing him. looking for a tie up ? is that it? LMAO . You mean getting off first on the inside then leaning on him and tying him up so he doesn't get countered? right. you dont even know what you are looking at ,.. Still waiting for all these historians calling him a spoiler

 

Wow, he got off first a select amount of times with a few punches on the inside, against someone who didn’t even try mounting an offense against him! This definitely takes away from the obvious minimalism he displayed all throughout the fight!

Keep seething, I’ve already provided sources that prove my point, which you still haven’t refuted. I’ll be awaiting yours.

 

Maybe he is just outclassing him ?? did you think of that?
You are the one who provided the footage which refutes your own point. lol
I dont remember others describing McFarland as a spoiler and clearly downplaying his ability as you are. To post that footage and then start picking apart all the things he is doing wrong is laughable actually.
I have researched him a fair amount and didnt come across Packey being as successful as he was because he was just a spoiler. . Again your words which no you haven't sourced shite on it. . the lack of effort at times, conserving energy for a 20 rounder, taking it easy sometimes, however you want to call it .. That is a different than being a " spoiler " imo
I think you are on an island by yourself on this one.
