The right hook Manny threw in round 5 didn't even land

Lomachenko only has the potential, but he's never put his skill up against anyone near Pacquiao's level which makes it a very interesting fight for me.
I'd lean toward even this 40 year old version of Pacquiao to beat Lomachenko.

 

Watching Matthysse lose is always a painful experience. He's very likable.

 

Rigondeaux is more skilled than Pacquiao, but much less physically gifted.

 

It looked like he got hit and buzzed and wasn't aware of how much time was left in the round. Also the low blow he did at the start of the next round was to get even more time to recover. Happens when you get old.

 

I agree

 

Watch Ali Liston 2 for a perfect example of a terrible dive. Boxers are not great actors

 

Rigo is small and nowhere near the offensive force Pacquiao is which allows a physically gifted fighter like Lomachenko free reign in there as he's not feeling the same pressure from incoming against the defensive minded Rigo.
Mikey Garcia is an offensive force and Loma wants no part of him. If Loma would to fight Pacquiao, I think you'd see why he wouldn't fight Mikey.

Here is the moment of impact for the 2nd KD. The punch clearly landed.

 

What are you on about? It’s clear that he did land on him with the left, which did the damage, that last “punch” with the right was more of a weak push as Mathyse was going down and that touched him too.

Did he quit? Yes, he spat out his mouth piece, while on the knee.
Did he take a dive after a punch that “missed by a foot”? Hell no.

Seriously, have another look at the last KD, it’s all over YouTube, different angles.

 

Apart from the times they did it so well, we don't know about it...

 

Maybe he can not land that punch on your temple.

 

Good stuff, DJ.

You've got to the bottom of things.


Now, could you tell us who really shot Kennedy.

 

Who has one of the best hook in the game? Donaire jr. Who taught Donaire Jr that hook? PAPA Donaire.
Sr Donaire was called up to be part of Pacquiao's team for this fight. His right hook was doing damage indeed.

 

Yes. It was Manny Pacquiao's father...
