i wonder how pacquiao would've reacted to punches from a guy like maidana. he's going to lose next time he fights a very good welterweight. i think bradley takes him convincingly in the rematch.
Hmmm???... REED Would Make Pac a SOLID Favorite Over Bradley, in a RE...There's a 0% Chance of Bradley STOPPING Pac & Manny Would Likely Be Even MORE Jazzed than Usual, Given the INEPT Judging of the 1st Bout...Same Bitch that Tried to RUIN Floyd-Canelo had her Fingerprints Upon Pac-Bradley I... Hell, Only Reason a RE is Even an Option is BECAUSE of the Corrupt Judging...Pac OUTCLASSED Bradley the 1st Time & Would Do So Again, in REED's Opinion... REED:mj:
Same, I saw no reason to think Bradley beats Manny. Maybe he can make it (legitimately) closer next time around but that's about all. Timmeh is much better than Rios but still a level below Pacman.
Lol at wondering what Maidana would do to him. Maidana is a fuckin bum! Maidana hits harder than Rios, HOWEVER, he doesn't have near as good a chin as Rios. Therefore, while he may stand more a chance at hurting Pac, he wouldn't be able to handle the incoming. Overall, Pac looked "good" last night. Is he same fighter now that he was in 09? Hell no! But that was damn near 5 years ago, no reason to expect for him to still be in his prime. He could have stopped Rios though, had he only put his foot on the gas. No doubt whatsoever, Rios wouldn't have gone the distance the 09 Pac.
Yeah, that was plenty obvious by the fact that he only won 2 rounds and was given the gift of the century. I don't even see him making it closer next time tbh, I think Pacquiao would be pumped and looking to prove a point. This Pacquiao is far more cautious and less aggressive, doesn't even throw as many full on meaty power shots - but he's still excellent as evidenced by the Bradley and Rios fights, and even Marquez before getting KO'd. He's still sharp, fast, agile, and more technical than he's ever been. He's not as fast as he used to be, not as unpredictable, and strangely he seems to have lost some explosive snap on his punches, but he's still one of the very best fighters in the world without a doubt.
Wouldn't take much notice of Joony where Pacquiao is concerned. I think he's picked against Pacquiao in almost every fight ::
I kinda enjoyed watching Rios take a 12 round beating, just like his hero Marg. Both of those losers mocked Roach, yet they went a combined 0-24 against Pac. Hopefully Arum makes Provo-Rios next. The Russian will retire Bum Bum once and for all.
REED Doesn't Mind Rios All that Much, but the FAUX Machismo, "I LOVE This Shit", "I LOVE Getting Hit" Nonsense is SILLY...Dude Got THE SHIT Beaten Out of him Last Night; There was NATHAN to SMILE About or "Love" about that Ass Whipping...
REED, he's simply smiling because 15 years from now he'll be able to tell his Cholo homies how we went the distance with Manny Pacquaio. He'll be like "Fucker beat my ass, but at least he didn't take me out!"
PAC won clearly but was not really impressive He would beat Bradley again for sure..but he still IMO has no shot in hell vs Floyd
Pac never had a shot at actually BEATING Floyd. Back in 09, he could have had his moments, but he still woulda lost. At this point, it'd be a cake walk for Floyd.
CONTEXT, Brother Lok...Coming Off a 1 Punch KO LOSS, Fans Couldn't (SHOULDN'T) have Expected Much More than they Got from Pac, Last Night...No, it WASN'T 1 of Pac's 10 Best Wins, but he DIDN'T Look Bad @ All, to REED...
PAC never had a shot in hell beating Floyd. Actually I don't think it would have ever even been competitive
I've always been surprised that anyone that really really watches boxing would think PAC had a shot at Floyd
'09 Pac was a legit threat to Floyd and had a good shot at winning. Would I have favoured him? No, but the danger to Floyds "0" was real.
Yeah, Andy Ruiz is a FAILED Experiment...He's a POOR Man's Chris Arreola...LOSE the Weight, Fight @ Crusier or Lightheavy & Top Rank MIGHT Have Something on their Hands...Otherwise.....
On the Topic of the Undercard, Trainers these Days are Getting Awfully BRAVE w/the Level of Hurt they're ALLOWING their Fighters to Take...The Verdejo Fight was a SEVERE Mismatch that Shouldn't have Been Allowed to Go the Distance, the Billy Dibs Beatdown was Stopped a Couple Rounds Tooooo LATE AND the Shiming Fight was a 1-Sided Massacre as Well...Then, w/all that BRAVERY on Display, Tor Hammer QUITS vs. Andy "Michelin Man" Ruiz....POOR Undercard, to Say the Least...
Actually, Knowing Arum, he's Looking @ Andy Ruiz as the Mexican BUTTERBEAN, in Which Case he Can Get him to 75-0, w/65 or 70 KO's...THEN, Ruiz & Monk Foreman Can Put their Undefeated Records on the Line in a Highly Anticipated Cashout PPV...
