Using padded sticks, the JMM team is simulating Pacquiao's handspeed, rapid fire punches and awkward punching angles. Theyre practicing their defense nicely. It's very ingenious and I think it will help them out a lot. 39 second clip [yt]qnFPdo5mY1I[/yt] I think theyre having a hard time getting sparmates that have Pacquiao's speed, weird punching angles and off beat footwork, that's probably why theyre using the sticks.
Man thats good ... He will win and win convincingly. UD He already knows that all Pacquiao's going to do is throw the jab followed by a right hand. And Pacquiao has to plant his foot to throw that combo -- he's going to telegraph it all day. (ala trinidad) Marquez will offset that with his jab.
I'm pretty surer it was for speed ... and was to work on his agility, head movement, and blocking. Something that PacMan can't do ... It wasn't to imitate PacMan it was for fundament reasons ...
