Having dominated his last two opponents (Diaz & Dela Hoya) in higher weight classes, Manny has shown vast improvements in boxing skills which we had never seen before. Watching him w/ accurate right jabs, right straights and double left straights, uppercuts on counters, body shots, his lateral movements, head and body movements, i can now say w/out fear of contradiction that a highly technical and complete boxer Manny has come of age. This is a product of months of serious training w/ his able coach Freddie Roach. He's improving in every fight. I think we will see more of Manny showcasing his newfound skills in his next 3 fights. I want to see Pac retire more boxers like Hatton, Marquez, and unretire/retire Floyd. 2009 will be a great year for us in boxing.
