all he had against pac was his power righthand that doesnt even exist until the 4th fight, just like a mushroom that sprouted overnight
Ever heard of the saying styles make fights? Marquez showed his exceptional skills in his previous encounters with Pac as he used the Filipino's often reckless aggression against him by timing him with precise counters.. As for Marquez, he's shown he has the most trouble with fighters that don't lead. But a major factor that contributed to his loss to Bradley was his age. It was a fairly competitive fight overall, however, the Mexican has lost a step at age 40 and had trouble keeping up with the younger and faster American. As for Pac, he's become a better all around fighter with Roach, but he's still often reckless and neglects his defense which he paid for in his knockout loss to Marquez. His best attributes remain his blinding speed and devastating power which he uses to overwhelm and frustrate opponents like he did with Bradley, who although skilled, lacked the power to gain Pac's respect.
Still crying about the lucky-punch-that-was-anything-but-luck. When JMM KO'ed Pac, he was setting him up with body punches to get Manny's hands to drop. The KO came with a combination of JMM timing it perfect AND Manny stepping into it. Those two things would knock out most people, regardless of who was throwing it and who was on the receiving end.
When Bradley was awarded the decision against Manny, it was obviously not Pacquiao's best performance. His legs have been slowing down in the last few fights, something I hope he regains after replacing Alex Ariza. If so, I think he should do a rematch with Timothy and get his belt back. Although he was less active, Manny did keep his guard up that fight and blocked a lot of Bradley's punches. (Then he went back to a more attacking style against JMM 4 which ended badly for him.)
The same fate was knocking on Bradley's door when he fought Ruslan earlier this year. So against Marquez, Bradley was very well prepared. He took away JMM's strength - the dangerous counter punches. Timothy was always ready for Marquez's counter, which was evident by his turning away his body and head after punching Juan. Sometimes he just twisted away, other times he would turn back, and come right back with a right uppercut - trying to counter the counter-punch. It was a great plan and he owned JMM that night. I think JMM was expecting Bradley to try to brawl like he did in his last fight, and if he did, I think Marquez would've won.
against bradley, yes, pac’s skill was more effective...
against each other, jmms counterpunching made pac look bad, but the judges always sees how pacs aggression still dominates jmm, their last fight can proved that, w/o heredia, jmm’s punches couldnt convince any judge it can outscore pac simply b/c it has no power over pac, doesnt stop pac from goin forward, not enough to say its an effective defense against pac’s aggression
No, Bradley showed Marquez can be outboxed with movement and the jab. Marquez showed Pacquiao extreme vulnerability is the right hand and especially when he feints. Pacquaio proved aggression is effective against a fighter like Timothy Bradley. Happy :)
No, because pacquiao can also be outboxed. He's also coming off a knockout loss to marquez -_-. )
that jmm is nothin but a wingy whiner...
