Just watched pac vs dlh noticed pacman looked very winded after rnd 6 & 7. He was throwing a LOT of hard punches BUT the thing is that he wasn't receiving any resistance of any kind from de la hoya (dlh was just a punching bag at that point). I think this could be big factor when fighting margo because of his size and the fact that margo starts winding up RND 4 and up. Margo has the same chin as dlh i believe plus if he is somewhat his usual self he will pressure manny and make him throw more punches than manny would like plus taking in consideration margo's body attack I can really see many gassing out mid-rounds just because of margo's physical size(pressure), manny's punch output, and margo's body attack. Another thing if margo happens to catch manny early manny will start brawling and throwing caution out the window. Just a few thoughts... I think this will be a very grueling fight were pacman needs to be in TOP shape and work more in stamina than speed, because he already has all the speed he is going to need to hit margo (margo is easy target) but he is going to use his legs a lot more than in the de la hoya fight. Any thoughts
You're giving Margo way too much credit. This fight will look exactly like the DLH but with more blood!!!!!
I didn't notice that in the Oscar fight. Nor did I notice it in the Cotto one. Or Clottey. But I agree though, if the Magarito that fought Cotto turns up, then Pacquiao will be in for a loooooong night.
I don't think I am, de la hoya was a walking zombie he did not throw any punches. At least margo will be throwing, I dont know how much he will be landing but he will definitely throw more than dlh I think.
I just noticed watching the fight and also watched the hbo sounds from the corner, manny looked really out of breath in the corner.
Stop posting nonsense. Pacroid was not tired after round 6. He was just getting started. Of course Margarito will put up more resistance than DLH. DLH fought a reactive type of a fight, meaning he was in front of Pacquiao wanting to react to the quicker, faster fighter. If you're significantly less quicker and faster, you just cant stand there center ring trying to react to what your opponent is doing. You have to have a game plan in place that strategizes that you're going to do x, y, and Z..... .....which could mean many things, such as jab your way in.... .....put the pressure on by advancing..... .....throw in the midst of his punches..... .....punch to the body even if it means having to get hit..... One thing about DLH, he was never about and never fought in a style where he had to take punishment to get his shots off. He just was not accustomed to that, and that way he fought Pacquiao showed it. With Margarito, at least you know that he's a fighter thats willing to eat the punishment in order to get his own punches off. He's willing to sacrifice his being in order to put himself in a position to contend for the victory. ......because of that, of course Margarito has a much better chance vs Pacroid.
Man I just watched manny was winded in the corner! after round 6 doesn't mean he was exhausted it means he was winded from throwing all those punches, and my point is that dlh wasn't even throwing anything back or doing anything just sitting there getting hit in the face. Margo will make pac throw even more punches and try to walk him down kind of like he did to cotto. watch HBO's sounds from the corner you can really see manny winded. Would I lie to u my friend??!!!
:think interesting i need to watch those again i guess i never really noticed, I'm just re-watching dlh-pac because I think pacman will have a similar gameplan for margo. I'm also watching the margo-martinez even thou martinez is nothing like pac but he is southpaw and quick. I'm considering if I should bet some $ in vegas?? dont know yet margo has a good odds return but I don't know what kind of fight will it be. On the margo-cotto fight i was considering betting for margo because i though he had a good chance because of his upper. But i didnt bet than I was kicking myself in the ass after the results.
good post but it's quite amusing that you are blatantly calling pac a pacroid when a proven cheater like margo, you can respectfully call by his name and not plasterio?
I've already explained myself quite a few times on the matter. With Margarito, he was cooperative from the very time the the inspector at the scene told him to unwrap the hand that had already been fully wrapped..... While Capetillo (Margs trainer) protested......and this is the account of the actual inspector, Margarito outstretched his hand and instructed Capetillo to unwrap him. ......on the other foot, thats not quite what Pacroid did now did he??? Weak excuses all through the first negotiation......and then determined to have windows of non-testing. Plain and simple, Margarito never hid from anyone and fully cooperated. Pacroid was looking for windows to leap in and hide. ......and btw, my using Pacroid in this discussion is to highlight that wearing down a fighter who's on Performance enhancers is not going to be as easy as the way Margarito wore down Cotto, who was very much showing the effects of the body punishment from Margarito in the very early mid rounds.
I agree. I too think they'll implement the same strategy they used in the Oscar fight, but maybe a little more aggressive now that they know Pac is durable at these higher weights. My only concern is if Pacquiao goes all macho, and and invites Margarito to exhchanges. I'm not a betting man, but I don't think Margarito will be winning this one.
