    Can PAC turn orthodox (right handed stance) against Hoya? :shock:

    I'm just curious since I found this image in a betting site depicting PAC in a right handed orthodox stance (must be a mistake ).

    Click link below to see the original image/picture:

    Can PAC try to do it to confuse Hoya? :D

    That picture is just reversed. Look at the tats on Pac's arms. I don't recall ever seeing him fight orthodox.

    Yeah I know the picture is a mistake but can PAC try to do it? I guess it's not a good idea.

    Much more likely, as he is a natural lefty. Although I highly doubt we'd see either.

    Has he fought on a southpaw stance before to confuse his opponent, or is he now more used to the orthodox stance?

    I don't reacall him ever fighting southpaw, no. I know that a few boxers don't use the stance appropriate to their dominant hand; Winky Wright for example is a righty.

    The question would be "WHY?" Pacquaio needs to maximize everything he is best at... speed, agility, stamina, rather than trying to entirely switch his style, as I see it.

    I do remember Oscar switching to southpaw a couple of times against Whitaker and landed some clean straight left hands.

    Maybe PAC can try it if he's way ahead in the scorecards :D . Just like what Erik Morales did in PAC-Morales 1. Still, it's not a good move.
