This time he showed that he's a FANTASTIC BODY PUNCHER. And he's actually got a pretty good defense. The thing I noticed is that he makes himself open on purpose. He just loves to fight. When he was following his gameplan though, Clottey couldn't find a target. He was turning him, moving his head, slipping/parrying. Beautiful stuff. Manny's body work was ****ing insane. I've never seen anybody throw combinations like that.
Twas a thing of beauty. Clottey didnt know what to do apart from stop himself getting KTFO by opening up to attempt to win a round.
Pacquiao shows the same thing every fight. He follows the gameplan to the letter. Another paycheck well earned.
Pacquiao baited Clottey open up and make him run into a punch, but cred to Clottey he stayed in his shell whata heart and chin..
With Clottey's defensive style, MP had to go the body more so than his previous fights. MP never ceases to amaze fans and rightly so.
I'm telling you man, his combination punching is unreal. I've never seen anything like that. The dude is a monster. And he keeps getting better.
Pac was mesmerizing. Incredible performance, even though he made Clottey look awful Clottey didn't help himself. But Pac... he's something else. This generations Ali. Just a show to watch him.
Pac's always been a fantastic body puncher the only the thing he showed is his workrate is even better than I thought!
Pacquiao's always been a good bodypuncher. Earlier in his career he's stopped guys to the body, albeit lesser opponents. His body punches were key in his win in the 2nd Morales fight. Cotto seemed to be effected whenever Pacquiao went to the body. That right jab followed by the straight left to the body...Cotto momentarily doubled over. Cotto was also hurt in the 9th with a right hook to the body.
Yup. The only thing I was surprised at was his ability to throw 100 punches a round even at welterweight. Everything else was business as usual.
I agree, Pac's bodypunching is not new, but Clottey's guard made him showcase it much more than usual. What impressed me was Clottey's ability to take those devastating body shots and not go down.
