Morales: How to Defeat Pacquiao!!

Yes and No.

Specifically this part,

"An opponent would need to create the proper spacing by stepping back on his backfoot, and then counter Pacquiao with a right punch over the top (of Manny's left). This should immediately be followed by aggressive combinations"

I'm sure Mayweather has the speed and reach to be able to pull of a hook, but aggressive combinations?

Would it also be fair to say that since the Pacquiao/Morales trilogy, Pacquiao has gone on to add more moves to his skillset?

 

An opponent would need to create the proper spacing by stepping back on his backfoot, and then counter Pacquiao with a right punch over the top (of Manny's left). This should immediately be followed by aggressive combinations. Morales adds that an opponent should periodically back up against Pacquiao. That enables the opponent to get leverage, and to shock an unsuspecting Manny with the right counter.

Finally, Erik Morales says that Pacquiao's high punch output makes him vulnerable to a straight right punch. It would need to be timed perfectly. The key to maximum effectiveness would be to deliver the blow with sufficient power. Morales thinks the element of surprise is critical against an elite fighter like Manny Pacquiao. When the Filipino moves forward, an opponent can bait him by stepping back and hurling a big right.

Pac leaves himself open, he is used to it because he always has a speed advantage.

Cotto, Clottey and JMM all landed on Pac, of course PBF would be able to.


Mayweather is great with the straight right and he has a big reach advantage on Pac, that will hurt pac who will be trying to find the right distance, he wont be able to jump and and out and not get countered by PBF with his speed and reach.

Cotto did ok for a while then he got beat up and tired. Mayweather doesnt tire and wont be taking as many punches.

 

I wonder why Morales did not use the strategies on the 2nd and 3rd fights. Anyways, those were good points from Morales. I just dont know if Marg can do this:

Margo is slow as ****! He cant time Pac perfectly.

Exactly my point, but again, Pacquiao is faster than the dudes in the video and how much faster is Mayweather than Pacquiao?

Is Mayweathers right hand enough to push back Pacquiao?

 

lol no wonder chicken manny only fights past prime drained opponents lmfao

 

Quick question.

In your opinion, which is worse?

Going up in weight and fighting out of your natural weight class, or going down a weight you have been at before?

:think

 

/end thread :good

 

Marquez and Morales both showed this is a pretty effective strategy. Counter right, follow up with combos, defending against the left.




The thing is, I haven't seen Floyd throw a combo in years.

 

Notice that he said throw aggressive combinations. You have to box Pacquiao but back him up as well, or he'll just walk over you. One right hand at a time won't be enough to win the fight. Ask Josh Clottey. Floyd plays it too safe . Plus Pac has gotten very good about coming in behind feints and head movement. He's not the same fighter that Morales and Marquez fought.

 

Hahaha. Halu wet pekpek. Ok lang. The 2nd fight shows that pac has started to develop his right and that made him won the fight. Morales was doing the same thing as the first fight but did not do damage.

Floyd will break his hand and inject xylocaine every after rounds.

 

And Floyd is willing to not play it safe when it suits him better. I remember seeing him walk Shane down and beating the **** out of him. That was with intermittent radar interference messing up the signal to my ship. Mayweather is the ultimate test for how good Manny is. Even if Mayweather is throwing every roadblock in between them.

 

4.Morales emphasized that timing Pacquiao with precision punches, and using the power of momentum can make the Filipino whirlwind vulnerable.

Floyd is the best at this. Its why he doesn't put his whole body into a punch. He mostly lands when his opponent doesn't expect it while in their routine.Floyd can be very dangerous to a fighter who lunges because it plays into his power.If you watch the Hatton fight Floyd used Ricky's lunging to his advantage(straight rights and of course the check left) and I feel Manny will be doing the same. For those who are sleeping on Floyds power I wouldn't.It's highly possible for him to KO Manny. Once again pek pek youre really doing your fellow fad followers a disservice everytime you post a thread. Morales pretty much lists all the advantages Floyd will have and employ on Manny. He might even throw some combinations that you haters act like he doesn't posess(which is far from the truth).

P.S. Manny is easily vulnerable when he goes backwards also. EM,Jmm and Clottey(yes watch the fight)were landing when Manny went backwards. Manny is ****ed.
