Re-watched Pac-SMM...what did YOU see?

he wants to stop fighting old fighters then

 

Pac in now way slowing down. he added some power prepared to go toe to toe with Shane. He fought perfectly mostly in a straight line as this took away Mosley's counter hook. Shane has only been knocked down by one fighter prior for a reason. He knows how to buy time and survive. more than 3 times Pac caught him with vicious body shots and he stopped the action pointing to his head about the minor collisions. smart moves.

This fight showcased Pacquiao's use of feints and baits which enable him to be on his toes and make his opponents output go way down weary of how he is going to attack. Shane only got of 88 or so Power shots.

Noticed Manny is a master of changing range by enormous margins using the balls of his feet to rock forward almost like a shot put. this opens up his short punching + set up short crisp counters. His ability to change punches in mid air and land extra shots when he turns around is the reason I enjoy watching him so much. you just dont see that creativity today. He is on offense how sweet pea was on defense.
There is nothing to expose Pac with. he can improvise in the ring up there with the best in history.

 

A old washed up fighter exposing Pac's inability to deal with moving fighters.

 

I see Pac a lot more effective than given credit for. Landing counters almost every time Mosley tried to throw some punches (rarely), moving his head a lot and using his jab to set up his offense. But still having too much respect for Mosley's power to just run in like an idiot.

 

Agreed :good His defensive skills are better at WW as well. I don't see how he can be beaten from the outside by anyone. Only inside combination puncher who can take away his set ups and tricks and keep him from using his in and out footwork. Bradley and JMM would make most competive fights.

 

I despise the constant glove-touching. It really ruins a superfight.

 

hopefully it wont happen again

 

I dont know but Pacquiao got a sloppy performance in the fight. But after the 10rd "KD", Pac got pissed and the 2 last round became the most exciting rounds in the fight.

And Mosley just went to fight just for the money. COWARD!!! Then here goes MR Nazeem telling us that he exposed Pacquiao. Well Naz, I should have believed you if your coward fighter at least won meaningful rounds.

 

I saw them mutha****ers touch gloves 41 times and hug 1

 

Being honest? You have to see two things. It seems that Pac has "flaws" which can nullify his offense, Clottey, Mosley, but in the same breath both men sacrificed ALL offense to do so. So part of you has to accept the exposure of POSSIBLE routes to a win, but at the same time respect the fact that both men gave up all possibilities of success to "expose" Pac.

I still feel Clottey was fixed. Mosley was just a bad overhyped fight.

 

the Mosley fight just highlighted Pac's flaws....can't expose what people already know.

However i think this is so highlighted because it was pretty much all Pac so u had no choice but to focus on him and scrutinize

 

This is what happened in the dressing room of Shane prior to Pac/Mosley

Richardson: I just got off the phone with Margarito's people.
Mosley: What is it Nazim?
Richardson: I guess the little brick shithouse is stronger than we thought, Margarito has a detached retina. He will probably never fight again.
Mosley: Oh ****, its a bad economy, I don't have health insurance. My wife got that in the divorce.
Richardson: Don't worry Shane I have a plan. Eventually he is gonna knock you down, after that RUN SHANE, got on your bycycle just like sergio mora and pot shot, but mainly just run. We will chalk it up to old age then you can retire, you don't need these medical bills in a recession.
Mosley: Your so wise Nazim. Wait what about Bella? Won't she consider me a coward?
Richardson: Don't worry Shane, your 5 mil richer, she will continue to **** you.
Mosley: Oh yeah, she's a woman...I forgot. Thanks Nazim.

 

Pac may have been as surprised by and thus perhaps not really prepared for a constantly back peddling SSM as SSM was at a walking him down FMJ in that fight.
