"In boxing it's not just physical, it's also mental. I wanted to break him mentally. I wanted him to hit me and I wanted to show him I felt nothing. But our strategy was to be patient, take time, and not rush. We didn't want to be careless like what we did before. Matthysse has power also, he's an opponent that you cannot underestimate. He throws a wild right hand and a strong uppercut. What we did was take our time. Even if we knocked him down a couple of times, we did not hurry."
Pac's transformation from swarmer and pressure fighter to intelligent boxer has paid dividends. Pac's one of the best in the game at countering jabs and making guys pay.
