Pacman lacked a game plan or could not execute?

    Where was plan B? the result aside, which was shocking, but did you all see how one dimensional Manny was?? He was made to look terrible. His skill is his offensive output and unorthodox angles, but his footwork was horrible, as was his balance and timing. Big Credit to Marquez for neutralizing Pacman, but Pacman did not adjust, did not even show he could mix things up, try something else. he did the same thing over and over again. Even with Roach who is known for putting together great game plans, Manny did not seem to do anything that even suggested he could take control of the fight.

    He lunged so often, and even Khan whilst analysing the fight on primetime, was shocked. he even commented saying that Manny is going in, in straight lines, is not going for the body, just head hunting.

    Someone posted up a video a few days ago, showing Manny's lack of fundamentals, and how even Cotto made him look like an amateur at times. He's a ferocious offensive fighter, against guys who stand right in front of him, but any bit of movement, and he doesn't have an answer for it.

    But that was silly, cos we've seen him pack on some solid mass, unlike when he fought Floyd. He was carrying the weight much better. They just didn't expect him to be so technical and precise with everything he did. He stuffed Pacman's offense totally, to a point where Manny had to try and force it, and thats never a good sign.
