Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[jon09]

Well I just made a grand off that fight and I've yet to watch it. God damn it now I gotta wait two weeks before they show it again on HBO.

I'm sure you tube will show it before then.

[Rantcatrat]

People are talking about Marquez retiring, I hope Manny lays the gloves down.

I want to see it glorious 1080p I want to see my favourite tactician land that punch and hear it with my surround sound. I can wait two weeks for that

Almost 4 years ago, I made this post elsewhere (and all the best posters such as myself caught the bant there in late 2010):

Every fighter has some aspect of their game that can be exploited by their opponent.
For instance, southpaw Pacquiao drops his left hand when he fires his right jab.

An orthodox fighter could time that jab, slip outside, hit-on-the-slip with a right hand counter thrown straight at Manny's open chin or maybe even a rear hand right hook.



Manny's fast though and his right jab is hard. Mess up the slip, and the opponent'll eat a jarring, very sharp right jab rearranging his face a bit.

Hah, looks easy, but would be pretty damn difficult to actually execute against a quick, ball of energy like Pacquiao.

I know the truth about Boxing....

Throw a straight right against a southpaw? You are a boxing genius!

Only if he is one of the best p4p fighters who has broken your nose and you knock him clean out with it.

Well, I do have a bit of brain-damage, but I'm still quick enough to know the difference between a straight right and a right cross (unlike yourself)...

I was referring to your brilliant 4 year old observation("...a right hand counter thrown straight at Manny's open chin..."), not recapping the fight.
