    During their mitt workout aired on 24/7, Roach instructed Pac to "1, 2, hook, under, stay in the pocket, and hook again." I found that quite interesting considering that Pac has a tendency of disengaging and resetting himself once his dips his head after a flurry.

    I bring this up because if Bradly is scouting Pac's tendency of backing off after rolling his head under to conclude his combinations, and doesn't take in account for this possible adjustment, he may very well find himself subjected to a circumstance where Pac could catch him cold with the right hook.

    Just an observation that may prove to be useless.

    No matter what they do, Pacquiao will fight the same as he always do, that's the counter right hook & leap forward with right hand, left hand, right hand, left hand, right hand combination.

    i think roach is trying to instil a greater punch variation into pac, i think because against JMM when it wasn't going very well the uppercut could have helped him a lot, just my opinion.

    Roach has been emphasizing the uppercut as a counter response to Bradley using his head.

    I'd like to see Pac step to the side and deliver the lead upper.

    Yup. I think he's going to get Tim into trouble just like how he did against Hatton.
