Tactics Pac could use to prevent "running"

When the other guy is much bigger and is running, there is only so much Pac could do.

In the lower weights, he had no problems chasing guys like Sasakul and Barrera for the reason that he could walk thru their punches.

 

are you saying floyd is not that skilled? :think

 

In what way is that performance by your real skilled fighter any better than what Pac did? :huh He didn't KO Mosley, did he?

And your real skilled fighter could not solve the overrated unskilled caveman that was Mayorga.

dont argue with broke_back_head_slick :good

 

Well put, but haters will never see that.

Against Mosley he needed to step to his right and throw the uppercut. Mosley would have been vulnerable to such a tactic.

 

Extremely difficult to land an uppercut on someone who is constantly moving back without leaving yourself wide open to get hit. Extremely difficult to land an uppercut from the outside at any time really. Uppercuts have never been an important part of Pacquiao's game anyway. Doubt this plan would ever have been under consideration.

 

Besides cutting off the ring Manny could have relaxed Mosley by simply committing to the jab up stairs and done stairs. Here is an example of a fighter running and a fighter cutting off the ring. Yes the opponent was a nobody but this just gives you an example.

I've always said that Pac's ability to cut off the ring, is one of his lesser qualities. Instead of moving side to side whilst hunting his prey, he just follows them in a straight line, and it's frustrating to watch. :fire

Had he done this better last weekend, I believe he would have had a little more success in getting to Shane. He also shouldn't show too much respect to his opponents. Instead of obliging Shane's motion to touch gloves, he should have swarmed and punched him in the mouth. This is a real fight, not a sparring session.

But at the same time, a lot of it comes down to the mentality of his opponent. When a guy is constantly running and spoiling, it makes it very difficult to do the above and look good. Shane was just a disgrace.

So yeah, to prevent people from running, Pac just has to learn to cut off the ring in a way where he doesn't consume too much energy in doing so. He has to accept the fact that a lot of guys out there will run from him in order to survive, and that he doesn't allow himself to be frustrated when they do this. Just be smart.

 

stay in the corner

lmao

 

Jabbing à Guy who is much bigger while you have à short reach at the weight and not à good jab to begin with doesnt seem smart, your basically setting him up for the counter right

 

Thats the thing, it will relax Mosley and make him commit and throw something that will get him caught opposed to just throwing power shots all night.

 

I'm not saying he can neutralize and suddenly connect as he please with Shane if he learns to cut him off, nah that ain't happening. It will only open up better positions than just going straight at him. Cutting off is also much more efficient he doesn't have to cover more steps he just have to be quick, reflexes. I understand Shane made it difficult but the very few shots he would have gotten off with cutting the ring better might have made the difference.
