Right hand through the middle.

You can be a pedant over the specific type (in this case it was a short right hand, almost a hook... but unlike you I won't be a pedant over your naming of it as a straight) but the fact remains that the same vulnerability has seen Manny eat dozens of dozens of RIGHT HANDS...

Overhand, short, straight, cross... Doesn't matter the type, he's very open to the right hand down the middle and ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

The reason I quoted the specific type was because YOU said that they were the same punch. if you had said that Pac leaves himself open to being caught by a right hand, I might agree.

I know, I already said you were being pedantic over something as trivial as the specific type of right hand and my phrasing instead of conceding the actual point.

Pac has left himself open to, walked onto and been baited into leaving gaps for dozens of right hands throughout his career. I'd hardly call it a 'moment of carelessness', if you keep making the same mistake over and over then one day you will pay for it.

Your bad habits only get worse when you're taken into deep water and that's what JMM did.

Should I also be a fellow pedant and point out that I didn't say EXACT same punch, or shall we agree that getting hung up on exact wording is moot?

[Primo Carnera]

You don't have to say EXACT for my benefit.

[AdamGB]

Really? I thought I had to spell things out to the letter for you to stop them going over your head, now you're telling me I don't actually have to be too precise? Which is it?

Like I said, you don't have to use exact , Same will do for me. Same means SAME, you don't have to emphasise it with EXACT.
So let's make it clear an overhead swinging Right is the SAME punch as a Straight Right? And with one , Manny was moving backwards, while the other, he walks straight onto it.
So does that mean an uppercut and a jab are the SAME punch as well.
After all, I'm led to believe that you're the Boxer so you tell me.

Margarito was paid/blackmailed into letting Pacquiao beat the shit out of him.

A Ford Fiesta and an Opel Corsa are not the exact same car, but they are the same type of car... If I drive a hatchback into you, I don't really think you'll care if it was a Corsa or a Fiesta, the fact that you've spent a lifetime not looking when you cross the road is probably more important.

If you want to get excited because I said same punch instead of 'type' of punch then that's your problem, like I said... I underestimated the intelligence of my audience, next time I'll write it out in precise detail for you and use big colour pictures.

Only an idiot could watch a 9 minute (I'm sure you'll correct me, was it not precisely 9 minutes?) montage of Pac getting continually hit by a variety of right hands, in a variety of situations and by a variety of punchers and call it a 'careless, one off mistake' when he inevitably got KO'd by one eventually.

This could go on forever, especially if you want to add words like TYPE to Same to justify your weak , futile argument. I won't go into how a Fiesta and a Corsa are not the SAME , as you are clearly not getting it and I don't want to stretch you mentally.
So , you originally would have us believe that JMM had made a lifetime study of Pac and come up with that "Eureka Moment!" Perhaps on that basis , we should put him in the same bracket as Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein!
Whereas in reality, it took him the best part of 4 fights to prove his theory, and surely aren't most Southpaws that throw a lot of combinations Susceptible (apologies if the word is too long for you) to getting hit by a dangerous Right hand, whether it be a straight , jab, cross, hook, uppercut or Haymaker!
Hardly fuckin rocket science or splitting the atom is it?
Finally, how come I'm the pedantic one, when you were the one that when told it was a thread of unpopular opinions, you tried to differentiate between "unpopular" and " Unsubstantiated" !
