The worst feeling I have had in ages, absolutely shocked to see PAC knocked out cold, still feeling bad
Such a great shot from a master technician. I loved it. The way he just diped his knees, pulled back slighlty and then BOOM right down the pipe with his head off to the left. Great finish, well done Juan.
I felt the same way when Sergio KO'd Paul Williams Sadly suspicion of PEDs was the first thing I thought of when Manny laid flat. Either way it was a nice shot though
Just wondering, did you suspect PEDs when Hatton, Cotto was KOd by Pac? Or when Margarito's orbital socket was broken? I bet you thought that was through hard work and god given talent right?
Both KD and KO were surprising. But at the end of the day.It was only a matter of time before he pays for the lack of defense.
Just watched the KD (loading the fight on slow ass youtube). That one was ridiculous. So loaded up and quick. Pac was looking strong though and the only reason he has looked to be slipping the last few years is his opponents. He struggles with slick and tigh defensive fighters and doesn't shine aswell. I commended the choice to fight Bradley after the 3rd fight because I thought he'd go for another Cotto/Marg who walks on. Maybe it's time for him to hang it up but not due to a lack of skill. Just might be the right time for him, but he hasn't lost focus or anything because you could see the improvements he made during this one. The KO was bad though. I was looking for the vid on dailymotion at first and saw a 30 second video saying "Marquez knocks out Pac". I thought it was bull**** at first, but then I noticed that the shorts or the KOed Pac were the same as in the actual fight video, and then the bad feeling sunk in.
No. You can only walk into so many counter right hands before one ends your night. For four fights he has eaten Marquez's counters and finally one stopped the show. As noted above, "weird" was watching Roy get starched by Tarver.
