pacquiao's biggest improvement seems to be his balance

:deal

 

i will save the *****s and joyboys some trouble: A-side meth will improve your balance.

 

I don't know about better overall balance... but I will tell you that he doesn't fall in with his left hand quite as often as he used. I mean he still does it here and there, which is a flaw he'll probably never fully correct, but he doesn't do it with every left hand he throws like he used to.

 

The only balance pac has is when he holds the wall to brace himself up while ariza injects him.

 

He still does it though leaving him open for right hand counters. What he doesn't seem to do anymore is lean in with his body quite as much, but he'll still allow his back foot to slide forward which leaves his body square and easy to counter.

Improved, but not perfected.

 

funny how i pictured money may as the one holding the wall to brace himself up while ellerbe injects him from behind... silly me..

 

When he was about to finish Hatton in the second round, he trapped Ricky in the corner and I noticed that he didnt jump in and go face first and open for a hail mary counter.

Hatton threw a bomb too, at that moment. If it connected, Manny could have been KD.

He was just at arms length, and he didnt go too wild, throwing his finishing flurries. He was less reckless and a bit more selective and less of a come forward puncher during flurries.

Maybe I'll post it here later.

EDIT:

Here's the TOP RANK broadcast, the one the Philippines received, that day. (We dont get the HBO team on local TV)

The original version of MP would have been on Ricky's chest and wailing away.

 

I get your point. Pacquiao is an improved fighter. So what else is new? You're not exactly keeping on subject with the balance theme here.

 

That just made me wince.

I did not want to even remotely picture that.
