what's up with that? Just win the fight guy. If the knockout comes then take it but it shouldn't be the strategy [yt]7R7wbVWjwWA[/yt] also Roach says that the big question will be whether Pac can hande Diaz' power, but imo the big question is whether Pac will run out of gas against such a big pressure fighter
it would be easier for paq if diaz was orthodox as it would mean paqs best punch the straight left down the pipe would land time and time again, as it is diaz squares himself up , weight distributed badly when he launches an attack and he is wide open to get bombed with full power. i think from distance and in close paqs much quicker hands will aloow him to get of and land on diaz. only will get tough if diaz has the abilty to walk through them and turn it into a war. then paq being the smaller man might tire down the stretch. but diaz skill wise and speed wise is no threat, heart wise he looks like a fighter willing to go out on his sheild , so will put up as best a fight as he can while he is there. i expect paq to catch the square on diaz many times flush though and put him down, perhaps 2 or 3 times leading to a ref stopped figh win around round 8. the styles will gell and it will be a good entertaining fight while it lasts. would not surprise me if diaz comes out to fast in the first without taking a look he gets decked quick not having warmed up into the fight.
I can't watch videos because of my slow ass dialup, but unless he did say it was the strategy, then I doubt it is.. I think Roach see's Pacquiao in such top form without having to drain weight and with possibly more power, he believes he can knock Diaz out.. Roach has probably watched some tapes of Diaz and isn't that impressed so he believes what should happen is a KO from Pacquiao instead of taking it to a decision.. I don't think he wants him to throw power shot after power shot trying to KO him early, but if the KO comes, it comes.. Pac should just outwork and wear down Diaz while going in and out.. Pac should display a lot of footwork in this fight..
KO is the clearest way to win . . . that's why Roach want it that way. Diaz has a very good chin and is very much capable of winning this by points . . . I kept telling people here . . . this is gonna be competitive.
if paq cannot trouble diaz with power then he should switch to a plan b box from distance move in and out and use his speed of hand and foot and straight punches /right jab/straight left to beat the on rushing diaz to the punch and then move. its paq`s fight to lose IMO and the only way he will lose is if he gets into an all out trech warfare with diaz and refuses to change tact if it does not work and the bigger man ocverwhelms him with strength and will to win. diaz must make it a war if he is to suceed.
