So people need to come back down to earth and stop claiming Pac has great defense. Right now he is winning more on his physical ability than any "great" boxing skills so many people claim he now possesses. Don't get me wrong, his physical strength is a major weapon that is a handful for anyone....but let's not kid are selves and think Pac is a technical boxer. All this is not to say that Pac can't and wont beat Barrera. But to say Marco will be an easy opponent is ridiculous.
all i can tell you is to watch the 'grandfinale' again
notice that everytime EM threw a jab he got hit.
if hes goes to his right then jabs, he gets hit by pac with a leaning left hand jab
and when he goes to his left... he gets hit bya right hook.
im not saying pac has great defense he ignores it especially when he decides to engage
but.. to say he has ridiculous defense then your nuts.
tell me how could someone survive KO artists like MAB, EM, JMM
and he is a boxer whos regarded as havin a suspicious chin
nobody said pac is a technical boxer. but he has the option
to be one. with the physical gifts he has, no doubt his trainer
knows he can transform him to one. but its just not his nature
a lot of fans just love disagreeing. floyd boxes. hes boring
pac brawls. he has no defense.
