    its because manny (despite his improving right hand) still looks for the lead left a lot of the time to set something up and because of his quick footwork he circles to his own left away from his opponents left thus taking some of the power away and making his opponent reach for it. The best time to catch him with it is when he paws with his jab; catch it and shoot the left over the top.
    The best punch against manny is the 45 (marquez used this to good effect), straight right and looping right in close (manny dropped his left hand in close and morales punished him every time)
