Pac's bodyshots were Nasty!

They were. Tremendous bodywork by Pacquiao. Hopefully this fight enabled alot of ignorant "fans" to realize that body punches are SCORING PUNCHES. Probably not though. They'll never get it.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

This started when judges ignored Haglers body punches against SRL. From then on Body punches were barred from scoring. Last night was a prime example.

 

Body punching is a lost art.

 

People who I was watching this fight with were continually saying Pacquiao was landing nothing. Looks like they were only watching the guard of Clottey (which Pac did go around and through on occasion), and not the body. Some of those right hooks to the ribcage were painful to watch.

 

You could see they did get to Clottey at a certain point. He was hurt on accumulation, IMHO.

 

Best body punching I've seen in a long time. I loved how he was throwing straight shot combos to the body. You hardly ever see that. Looked like he was ripping Clottey's stomach open.

 

Great game plan by Pacquiao.

"You don't want to get hit in the head? I'll **** your body up, then."

 

Fixed.

 

I was getting the idea maybe Roach wanted Manny to emphasize body punching to bring Clottey's inpenetrable guard down. Respect to Clottey for taking some massive bodyshots that would of taken most fighters down. Whether some landed on his arms or gloves those had to hurt like a ***** too. People have no idea how many injuries can happen even when punches are blocked like that.

 

Agreed. Manny is a berry berry good pupil.

 

Yeah that was the gameplan. Roach was saying how they were going to attack Clottey's body. The guy is a master strategist.
