Pacquiao's in-fighting

[MMASUX]

He's got great work ethics and very obedient to his coach. He follows specific instructions and doesn't deviate.

lnteresting compubox fact. l snipped this picture from the Chavez fight...





l didn't know he landed that much body punches against clottey.

Now l know he also got that talent. Then he must not go headhunting right away against Bradley. He should be defensive minded in the first couple of rounds and slowly take away Bradley's strength with serries of body blows.

Anybody could have had those numbers against a guy just standing there with his hands covering his face.

Pacquiao only has 1 good punch to the body and that's the straight left from the outside or mid range, not hooks and uppercuts on the inside.

I do not believe that it is the best interest of any southpaw to be on the inside because it negates his biggest advantage, that being the ability to create advantageous punching angles. Any southpaw will be more effective from either the outside or as he moves in.
Pacquiao, with the advantage in speed of hand and foot that he typically possesses, would be foolish to let himself get conned into fighting an inside fight.

? THis makes no sense, Watch Mayweather-Judah, and you'll see once Mayweather gets comfortable how angles play a roll in close with Southpaw-orthodox. Or watch Whitaker fight... The closer you are the more important using angles becomes because your speed means less on the inside. Pacquiao creates openings and holes, but he uses way too much footwork to create those holes. By too much footwork I mean he literally moves way too far to create something he could with far less movement if he was smarter about it. All that hoping around the opponent is pointless and uses far more energy than is necessary to create the same effect if you are smart.
