Thats a brilliant tactical move. It makes him appear eager to fight while calling Pacman's bluff...that the reason he doesn't want to sign is because the USADA is biased. All he's left with now is the far-fetched notion that taking blood will weaken him...an assertion unconvincing even if true, since presumably PBF would be subject to the same weakening.

I don't think Pacs on roids; I think he's clean and reacting emotionally to his character being questioned. PBF has played him. The great tactician set a trap designed to unnerve the enemy. After all, when the enemy is annoyed irritate him further, Sun Tzu informed us. PBF managed to make the clean but hapless Pac behave exactly how a dirty fighter would under the same circumstances. Brilliant psychological warfare.
It is a brilliant move. Pac has all but lost this fight. I at least gave Pac a decent chance, now I think he has no chance. Mayweather has proven he is mentally tougher than Pac and can get under his skin. And that's already half the battle won right there. And I agree, the Art of War is a brilliant military book.
Im with you two on this!

Kostya explained all this stuff once,how he finds out everything there is to know about his opponent so if required he can ask a personal question in order to derail them totally if they go on a personal attack in public.

I remember he turned around to Judah when he was throwing shit and asked him "How is your new born daughter "insert her name" getting on?

It blew Judah away,it was like pulling a fuse out of a bomb and dropping it in water.

Kostya knew he had the better of him mentally then.
