He looked a lot slower and less aggressive, his punches had less effect on bradley than ruslans did and ruslan isn't regarded as puncher like manny was. It's just kind of fishy to me because ariza and his special shakes are gone from mannys camp
He's been fighting since he was 16, malnourished for a majority of his career, been in many wars, and has a young man's style.
I thought he fought more than 60 seconds of every round which was the knock on Pacman in their first fight. He's 35 and obviously out of his prime. But this version of Manny is still good enough to beat 90%+ of the fighters at 140 or 147 lbs.
Well said. Manny is just not as good as before(and never will be), ppl need to deal with it. This is coming from a number 1 pacman fan
It just happens with age. In all honesty, it's crazy that he can still perform at this level after all the wars and punishment he's been through. Most fighters would have retired way earlier if they went through all the wars Pacquiao has.
It was neutralized by Tim's head movement and overall slickness. Seriously do you people even pay attention when watching a fight? If that was a stationary fighter like say Antonio Margarito Pac would have looked like the old Pac last night. Tim's head movement and slickness was the same reason why it was difficult for Juan Manuel Marquez to land the type of counter punches that he normally landed on non slick fighters when the fought. It's very hard to connect on a moving target.
