A reminder about JMM's power

JMM has a better KO% than Pacquiao. He's had 11 KO's (NOT TKOs) in his career, Pacquiao 12. He's had 17 stoppages inside 5 rounds in his career. Several one punch knockouts. Many knockdowns early in fights. He always had power. He's called 'Dinamita' for a reason.


Now, consider that for this fight, he's trained specifically for strenght and power for the first time. He endured 4 and half months solid training to shape his body for this specific purpose. It slowed him down a bit, but he had that power to end it with the perfect shot, and it was perfect. Nothing suspicious about it at all.

He's severely wobbled Pacquiao several times in previous fights, and again that was before he ever trained specifically for strenght and power.


Let's look at the knockdown in the 3rd round.

Where Pacquiao's left hand is positioned, he didn't see the punch coming at all. And anyone who knows boxing knows they're the shots that do the damage.


As for the KO punch, it doesn't require explanation. Pacquiao ran into it face first, effectively increasing the power on the shot.

Juan Manuel was the first and only man to knock Casamayor out, apart from the quit job against Bradley.

Only the second man to stop the very tough Katsidis.

How long had it been before the Hatton fight that Pacquiao had a one-punch KO? This is boxing, all it takes is one perfect punch.

There is also a doubt about Pacquiao's punch resistance due to completely neglecting S&C, or just a general decline.


Also think about the contrasts between Martinez/Williams 1 & 2, and Jones Jr/Tarver 1 & 2.



Why do certain Pacquiao fans have to try so desperately to discredit JMM's win? If you had half the class and humility of the man you support, you'd just give him his credit and move on.

 

Yes, definitely felt he was throwing with bad intention. I didn't believe he was going to trade with Pacquiao. I thought he was going to try to box him again. Should have known better looking at the specific type of training he was doing. He sacrificed speed for Power, and utilized that amazing timing he has. He's an absolute genius in the ring.

 

Yes, good point. 4 and a half months solid training.

Pacquiao didn't do half that.


Perhaps people should look there before pointing fingers.

 

Didn't even read the original post, did you?

 

I am. Tired of whining Pacquiao fans trying to discredit a great win. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

You seem to know a lot about PEDs, more than most here in fact, and I recall you telling me that PEDs do not magically gift you with added speed and power. So why would the knockdown and knockout be even an issue with anyone here in regards to PED use? Would you agree it has no bearing?
