What did you think of Pacquiao's performance.

**pitbullero** · 07-03-2006 02:31 PM

[b]Pacquiao did a great job even if he just trained for only 6 weeks for that fight the power is still there the speed, good lateral movements plus he got a new boxing style THE NO LOOK PUNCH hahaha!!!

eheheh yeah the "no look, going behind you punch" !

titleist905t,

pilipino ka nga, pag may mas nakakaangat sayo hahatakin mo pabalik sasabihan mo ng mayabang. maging proud nalang tayo kay manny kahit papaano kahit sa boxing man lang mapakita natin na magaling tayo. nakausap ko na ng personal si manny mas nakakwentuhan ko driver nya. sabi nya napakabait na tao at hindi malaki ang ulo.

tama pre, dapat maging proud na lang tayo kay manny malaking karangalan ung binibigay nya sa bansa hwag na nating pansinin ung ibang bagay tulad ng commercials nya, ung mga endorsements or pagsasabong..deserve din naman nya yon dahil malaki na hirap nya...sana magkaisa na lang tayo na suportahan siya sa mga laban nya...

Good performance...I think that a bit of his hometown shakes came in to play.

He did well though.

I agree that he isnt as humble as he once was but he is still more humble than about 95% of other boxers out there...pac has so many people wispering in his ears that he can do no wrong thats its bound to affect him. but about not getting hurt i dont really think he was hurt, he was just caught by punch he dint see,,he just weathered Lario's storm and then went on the attack and i thought won the round.

I watched the bout on site. The Pac was good (though still lacking in a lot of ways) but I must give a lot of credit to Lariros.

He was able to withstand a lot of the Pac attacks and fought like he was never hit. He had a lot of heart. After the match, he poured the champ with a lot of praises and didn't give himself much credit for the round where he almost had the PAC.

Overall, he fought well and was a real gentleman after the fight. The Filipinos cheered for the PAC but gave Larrios a standing ovation for being such a Lion.

Good post. Well said & welcome to the forum.

Have the Obligatory Wacko Welcome Wagon

I thought that Larios did quite well also...he lasted the duration & Pac seemed to respect that just as much as the fans & Larios did.

**sillent killer** · 07-05-2006 09:02 AM

Overall I think fight was great,both fighters deserved to be applaud,give respect for Larios,showing lot of hearth and determination.I wouldn't mind to see rematch maybe after Morales fight. They are great for boxing more now when HW devision is so weak. I think Pacman did great job still need to improve his defense but on the end both fighters show lots of respect toward each other.

**hit2win** · 08-09-2008 06:38 AM

Yeah!all in all. The fight was great. Larios stood 12 rounds, a fighter with a big heart. And we Filipinos respect him.

But as of the question of this thread about the performance of Pac? This fight doesn't make sense to judge him. It's because Pac intentionally prolonged the fight, making the fight to have 12 rounds. He may KO Larios earlier but as of advertisement issues on Philippine television and the requests of VIP's on the ringside to prolong the fight(I have no evidence on this one but that is a rumor here in Philippines). That made no sense that we didn't see a real Pac on his best. But again it was a great fight and it was entertaining.
