    I always thought manny was KO'd by a body shot, but this looks like a head shot to me.

    THoughts?

    P.S not hating - I love Manny, was just wondering

    Headshot. There was a thread about it a couple weeks ago. After the punch lands, Torrecampo's momentum sends the punch down making it look like a bodyshot/low blow, and in turn he falls over. But it lands on Pacquiao's head first.

    It was an overhand left to the chin that cracked his glass jaw. all jokes aside, I wonder why we haven't seen Manny fight that many southpaws, maybe he's susceptible to that punch, seeing how he was stretched by that left from the southpaw

    Are you sure? to me it looks like a low left hook to the body, and then a right to the head as the momentum took manny down, not sure how much the headshot connected if at all, definitely looks like a bodyshot, thoguh I've never seen someone not hold their body from a bodyshot so I suppose it could have been head.

    I'd also like to add this is the most hilarious commentry for a knockout that I've heard

    'OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH HIS EYES ARE CROSSED'

    :lol:

    Edit

    Looking at it again, the left caught him nicely on the bottom of his chin.

    If you're not kidding, you're an idiot. Even with poor eyesight anyone should be able to see it wasn't a body shot with even the slightest bit of attention paid.

    slid off his chin. a body show wouldn't make you react the way he was acting.

    You don't get dazed like that by a bodyshot.

    Don't you mean blow blow?

    In real time it looks like a bodyshot. Easy mistake to make. What a punch though.
