Mayweathers want to duplicate Morales’ Team strategy


PhilBoxing.com




Ipil, Zamboanga City -- For the past ten years (Dec. 1999 – Dec. 2009), out of 27 fights, Manny Pacquiao has only one loss. That was against Erik Morales on their first encounter on March 19, 2005. This is really a significant loss considering it came after his convincing win against Marco Antonio Barrera. His two previous losses against Singsurat and Torrecampo are not really that significant because those were during the early stage of his career wherein he was still developing his boxing skills.

The loss against Morales showed that Manny is not invincible, that he can easily be beaten. There were so many questions asked why Manny lost to Morales. The following are the answers given by Manny himself, boxing analysts and experts:

According to Manny, the extraction of his blood two days before the fight weakened him. Although this is more of psychological but since the mind is the controller of all our body parts and functions, once it is affected it could also affect our physical being. When Morales interviewed after the fight, he said that he did not feel Manny’s power punches.

Manny did not use his favorite 8-oz Cleto Reyes gloves instead he used 10-oz Winning gloves. This also contributed to his weaker punches.

Manny has difficulty fighting an effective counter puncher. This was also shown during his first encounter with Juan Manuel Marquez, a good counter-puncher, prior to this fight which resulted to a draw. The rematch with Marquez resulted to split decision win for Manny.

The first two are due to the blunders of Team Pacquiao. So, the formula or blueprint to beat Manny are:

1. Extract blood from him two days prior to the fight

2. Let him use 10-oz gloves

3. Be an efficient and effective counter puncher. When the first two reasons did not happen anymore during the rematch and third fight with Morales, Manny won the two matches via TKO.

The Mayweathers wanted to copy and use this formula. There is no problem with the no. 3 because Floyd is a better counter puncher than Morales and Marquez. They demanded to use 10-oz gloves and random blood testing which can lead to extraction of Manny’s blood one or two days before the fight.

The demand for the use of 10-z gloves can easily be turned down by Manny. They spread accusations that Manny is on something, that he is on steroids or any performance enhancing drugs that can’t be detected thru urine test. This can be used as justification for the demand of random blood testing then the USADA came into picture which strengthen the case but these are just false accusations, lies, gossips and innuendos because it has no facts and evidences to back it up.
