Now is the time. Pac gave his sloppiest performance in years . If anything it should give confidence to Mayweather , so hopefully the fight happens now. Personally I think Pac just seemed off all night, even before the fight . He seemed tight, punches were loose and not accurate. You could tell his was trying to loosen up at times, but something wasnt right. He either overtrained or just mentally was out of it tonight. I don't believe he is declining because he looked like the same Manny Pacquiao in spurts. On the flipside, he proved he has serious punching power at welterweight. I was shocked that he was able to drop and hurt Mosley like that. Mosley said after the fight that it was the first legit knockdown in years (since Vernon Forrest). Speaking of Mosley .. he 's completely done. He's need to hang em up. He's a great guy and had a great career, but he needs to be honest with himself.
I agree. Was flat footed, and was not darting in and out. They said it was a cramp, and it appears to be true. Wow, without the foot work, he appears to be a totally different fighter. Obvious, I know, but to see it in action, is just surprising, to me.
Shane made Pac look very bad tonight, despite Pac clearly winning. But there is one disturbing thing about all of this. Pac said after the fight that in the 5th "his legs started to cramp and feel tight, and he felt tired". Pac did have a looks of serious concern in the corner, and after the fight. He mentioned it several times? BS excuses? Maybe. But, it sure looked like Pac's legs were not strong after the 5th rd.....
^ I think the leg cramping is legit . Freddy Roach confirmed it , sd pac was complaining about it in the corner. Personally I think Manny wasnt there mentally all night. I could see it in his face, something wasn't right. I think he might have overtrained, and had an off night, it happens. When he let it go and was the old manny pacquiao, Shane looked like he didnt know what the **** was going on. MAnny really looks brilliant when hes at his best.
Pac didnt look bad, Mosley just dodnt come to fight. if Mosley would've tried at all he would"ve got lit up.
yep it was cramp i was watching Top Rank telecast i don't know if Showtime shows Manny telling Ariza to rub his leg.
honestly the best thing that happened for this fight was that BS KD ruling in the 10th, at least Pac really turned up the heat after that and was his most effective.
Yes cause of leg cramps Pac has some mobility problems. But one thing I noticed, there is a moment in the fight that when Shane tried to be aggressive Pac throws fast combination that bothers Mosley. Pac is looking to throw strong fast powerful counters against Mosley.
Leg cramps can throw anybody off their game. It's hard to have an exciting fight when only 1 of the 2 fighters shows up and is actually willing to fight.
