Pacquiao - last day of training camp (Video)

"Pah pah pah, poop poop, boom boom"

 

the way he looks, i think he can still fight for 2 - 3 yrs more.. can still beat a lot of young champs in his weight.

 

His footwork will be key in both cutting off the ring and creating angles. They seemed to be working on that. I also noticed them trying out the same shot that knocked JMM down in the second fight. Roach was throwing a left-hook I think to the body and Pac was shooting a counter left. And that's another important thing - Pac's gotta' be more daring in his exchanges and not be so daunted by JMM's feints.

 

You think Floyd thinks it was all worth it?:think

 

Those little quirks like the head tapping... The bounce between punches ect.
A counter puncher like Marquez feasts once they time their opponents.

 

I think the head tapping is him resetting to default (i.e. high-guard) before the drill, and the boucing is just keeping active between the drills. I'd be surprised to see him do either on fight night.

 

Back on the juice it seems

 

Some other things I found interesting are that Manny is preparing for when Marquez ducks low; it was his key to getting Manny on the inside and working his body. On the mitts he's putting his forearm out and pushing off as he pivots, and throwing a right for when JMM comes back up...interesting tactic.

Also interesting is trying to throw a left hand over the right and leaning with it, as JMM comes in on the inside, you can hear Manny say "when he's inside".

They seemed to have Manny cutting off the ring better in the Bradley fight by stepping over instead of following him around, and probably hope to continue that.

I think Marquez is going to offset a lot of these tactics by leading against Manny more. Everytime he did in the third fight, even though Manny was prepared to counter, he was caught off guard after being led around the ring so much and was either pushed back off balance or shelled up.

I caught that too. In the third fight, JMM landed the lead left to the body so often because from the low angle, he was shooting everything, so after getting countered up top, Manny was neglecting his body, and JMM would take advantage. Pac is probably going to be more offensive, but I think Marquez is as well, and throwing leads will probably make those feints jerk Manny in the second-half of the fight after they've both tasted some leather.

 

Skip to: 3:40,
''No Video Folks''

 

This was actually making me wonder whether this was a "real" session or not...if these are the things they are actually working on, as opposed to doing routine combinations for the cameras.

 

I like the way he comes from leftfield, one two three and then spins to the right and positions his jab above Freddie's left shoulder.

 

If these are the things they might do vs JMM, why show it on camera. The opponent might get a hold of it and study it.

 

If he tries that dragon punch on JMM in the fight, I'll die laughing.

 

They are gambling as they appear to only be working on improving his offense. He still has plenty of defensive holes to be exploited. This is going to be interesting.

 

that thing they were working on on 8:02 caught me by surprise. throwing subtle mutual feints and a quick lunge that seemed like out of distance

anyway looks like the pac is doing almost as much talking in there as roach
