Filipinos have been loyal to their compatriots. What is so uncommon in any gathering supporting that? For the diminutive two-fisted fire hurdler Manny, Nothing has come easy. “The Destroyer” 38-2-2 (30 KO’s) Manny Pacquiao so happens to be in good company. Seems everywhere he goes Manny leaves his golden gloved fists on an opponents chin, asking, “Kumusta Ka?” a general Tagalog dialect used to greet for ‘How Are You?’ For most of the lot, they aren’t feeling pretty well after being hit by him, and you’d gain much support getting on his better side in sparring, asking as little questions as you possibly can surviving a few rounds. This little guy refuses to be a one-dimensional ensemble, and who can blame him? He’s a one-man riot squad!
To see the length of how Team-Pacquaio has profound supreme confidence in their man, they’re even putting another match, before going for the two belts Juan Manuel Marquez has garnished around his waist. A huge gamble when you moderately consider no man would go with such a higher risk at stakes like he’s doing fighting a challenger with six more fights than his predecessor, and holding 23 knockouts, ten less KO’s than Marquez. Next month on December 11th at the MC Home Depot Open Air Arena, in Taguig, Rizal, Phillippines, Pacquaio will square off against such a man in Thailand’s cannonball 44-7-1 (23 KO’s) Fashan Por Thawatchai. This is a legit homecoming fight for Pacquaio, for once upon returning afterwards, it’ll be all back to business for the slated rematch to take place against a controversial loss fighting Juan Manuel Marquez on February 11th 2005. Marquez holds titles in the featherweight division by the International Boxing Federation, and the World Boxing Association (IBF-WBA) respectfully.
If there is anything to add onto Pac-Man’s arsenal reviewing the half dozens’ of his fights, it might be for the more sheer better use of his head during deliveries. Now I know he has to get inside far more times to not look like he’s a head leaner in there. That’s the premise. However there is a distinction here. There is a huge difference with a shorter pugilist looking to billy goat, and another omitting bloodshed on the other tail end receiving of it.
I’m talking about the shiny bald dome Marvelous Marvin Hagler possessed on his head whenever he threw the punch committing that shaven accountability for bad intended purposes alone and any malcontent inside of the arena whosoever rooted against him. There was a reason Ray Leonard had to increase the shoe-shined Howard Davis, Jr. affect to not contend with Marvin’s baldhead.
Should body shots be just as accountable as much as rapid hand-speed fire, be, although scoring, nearly as effective as witnessing that shot to the liver?
Hey, here’s an idea. How about scoring three points for each shot clearly landed onto their sides heard across the ring and to a solitary jab, which scores one point?
Another rule they should instate is to DQ any readily available fighter who lunges with head down bull rushing maneuvers striking his opponent across the bridge of his nose or face just like enforcing the same rule that was enforced against Roy Jones, Jr. when he fought Montell Griffin the first time.
You’d be surprised at the extreme amount of intimidated sworn in referees going around these days who couldn’t garner even half much of the mustered balls that referee Tony Perez has. Ask Norman “Stoney” Stone if he’s ever seen a pansy?
If you’re saying adding to Pacquaio’s own style of boxing denigrates beyond his own other tools used, how so? Take an accidental head butt for instance. There’s a uncompromising distinction about a fighter leaning in coming forward with his chin ducked going at you, as to the one with same defensive kind of assessments fires telling connecting punches, even if they’d missed their intended target by a margin. If he missed, doing what he’s taught, chances are his head is in a quick position to be following through. Good basic boxing techniques has a smarter reason fundamentally for all that to be.
Occasionally there are exceptions to two fighters of similar statures head butting. These are no fault flying zones, which nobody could ever dare perverse or antiquate with other mal intentional carried intent. A good observation to this could be said with the AgaPito Sanchez-Manny Pacquaio clash of heads. However as unfortunate as that became, both came from the outside in for a clean break of skin on the surface of Pacquaio’s eye for a stop in the action, looking from the external reasonable eye for the causes. A bit fragmented yes, but nonetheless a reliable just ruling for stopping a fight before five rounds where complete; for more importantly to reassemble restored confidence to each combatant. What may look pragmatically seen so plausible on the outside doesn’t necessarily mean it’s that easy to detect for the use of another meaning to that same antonym for the two fighters engaging warfare on the inside.
Fellas, the term “A Heady Fighter” comes from the pug that throws the punch, with the same following through formation generated from his back foot throwing it. In dynamism and force he pushes off that back ball of the foot turning inward, gets impacting two things. One is the complete impact, which is compact and short like the cross punch, and second he is also turning with his head with chin down, making it a very moveable unreliable target. That’s the defense maneuver for a counter, but also sets up your head as a momentary weapon, should the other fighter not know how to deflect or roll with it. Guys who are of postmodern and modern-day masterful geniuses at it were Marvin Hagler and Bernard Hopkins. Another fighter by the name of “Bad” Bennie Briscoe had it too. These guys wouldn’t get penalized for the fine usages of their heads to get blitzes.
Watch how much in position they really are with every offensive move they make.
Nobody is suggesting Pacquiao to shave his raven mane to accommodate the look.
If there is anything that Manny Pacquiao could value to go along with his budding career, are the tapes or DVD’s of these boxing greats. If you were to ask me if Manny could avoid a lot of rugged physical contact that way, of course not. But to bypass and say that it couldn’t save him time in the long run, is like skipping on the foreplay altogether before getting to the main course. To each their own. To upturn that head made these fighters exceptional.
I happen to believe Manny Pacquiao is a diverse boxer who once he gets you in strength encounters, sees fit to out finesse you and break you down. He was athletic enough to put that to the test against Juan Manuel Marquez the first time. Marquez had to dig deep for reserves to match it. Another thing Pacquiao has which isn’t talked much about, is the peaking factor. He’s like turbulence on the rise building up on a thermometer relentlessly degree upon degrees, making it too overbearing and hot in the kitchen. I myself haven’t seen such complete unadulterated savage content since the days of Roberto Duran and Wilfredo Gomez. And these types typically enjoyed disemboweling a bowel movement with a single thunderous body shot onto their opponents!! Manny Pacquiao has that kind of gifted toughness that kinda grows on you.
