According to Ariza, Pacquaio was 153 against Clottey. Pacquaio didn't look that much slower at that weight. I think this fight will show how much scientific conditioning plays a role in preparation. Roach and Pacquiao feel they went overboard with it, Ariza feels they ignored the benefits. We will see next week.
he does strike me as a bit of a dick and a bully. hes always punching people in the stomach when playing around and i can tell some of them are uncomfortable but hey... they all eat off his table. its obvious that he is not as humble behind the cameras as he is in front.
i dont think any of them are uncomfortable....everybody, i mean everybody gets along like that...its just brotherly love, thats all plus, they're free loading the **** outta him, they better take a ****en punch here and there
everybody as in where? his gym? all gyms? all people? i know lots of people that dont like that physical play so im unsure of the everybody you are referring to. i dont mind rough play but i know many people do and ive seen that face on some of those people in his camp.
Is he a saint? No. Is he a fighter who is getting ready for a fight? Yes. Frankly, I'd be worried if he isn't feeling belligerent around this time.
Pac is going to weigh 148 on fight night? I think he's in big trouble if thats true. Can't really see his punches doing any damage to Margo. Surprised that Freddie wasn't in the episode more but I suppose we've seen enough of him in the 24/7's.
For all wondering about the veins. He was just working out. He was dehydrated and has really low body fat %. The less fat you have, the more your veins pop out.
Coming down to 151 might be hard for Margarito bc as u said he is ****in ripped. The more I see Margarito training the more I believe in his chances. Then I watch his fights and change my mind. He doesn't believe Pacquiao can hurt him he will change his mind too. HBO is good at this but it won't change the outcome of the fight. "take off the jacket... common sense"
Im very intrigued by this fight, the ace in the hole for Margo is his chin....there are doubts about his true punching power/doctored gloves....but we do know he can take a punch, he is also relentless, he will land, he will be bigger.....was Margo cheating vs Cotto? cause if he wasnt.....Pac will have to be someone very special to stop him. Will Pac get any credit for beating Margo? It will further cement his greatness in my eyes thats for sure.
