Pacquiao KO's a 147 lbs. sparring partner

A Counter-puncher can't counter much if he's hurt bad. Barrera is no ordinary counter-puncher, even as he is no ordinary initiator of the action. Barrera has more dimensions than JMM who, very well-schooled as he is, just counter-punched his way to the top for the most of his career. Different Barreras appeared atop the ring for different fights,e.g., Morales I & II had a different Barrera than that which showed up for Hamed. But look at where that got him on the night he met Pac.

If a two-fisted, power-packed Pac is who JMM shall face in Feb., then JMM will be in for quite an evening! And so shall we be!

But it's more than that with JMM. It's like if you dont do anything to him then he wont do anything to you. Just like the Gainer fight. Smoke was scared to death and what did Juan do? Nothing. The only time he swings is when you come to him and he never commits. It's just a couple of punches and then he stops. Dude got's mad talent but he better learn how to use it because right now it starting to look like his brother is the better fighter.

Pac needs to work on his defense. Once he's got that he'll be hard to beat

this is a much better observation, thanks! and i agreed with what you're telling here. in my opinion, patience should be the key and conditioning, pac needs a lot of that in order to win against JMM, whom i think is now doubly prepared for their battle in February. meanwhile, pac is being guided by roach in preparing for his tune-up fight. as reported today, pacquiao is weighing 130 or more and should double his effort to train and be 100% ready for the fight on dec. 11 (philippine time).

about the knockout made by pac on his sparring partner, that's not new anymore considering that pac is really strong. and that is a factor he will use against jmm come february. as i said, conditioning will play the bigger factor. the hungrier pacquiao, the better for him to come out and perform better agains jmm. he should stay focus because he's in for the biggest fight of his life on february.

to all who said that jmm can beat pacman, well let's just wait and see, you will all be surprised if jmm be beaten badly. he's coming of age now considering his age at 30 years old, next year will be a different year for both fighters, and who knows the winds will not go his way but pac's way.

This is how powerful Manny Pacquiao fist are. Below is the excerpt from the news:

"In fact, Pacquiao revealed that he knocked down Christopher Saluday, who weighed heavier at 147 pounds with a left uppercut Wednesday. That is bad news for Fahsan, who promised to come up with his own surprise."

Beware JMM, Morales or Barrera. The next time around will be explosive than ever.

But how good is Saludays ability to take a punch.Later brother brologs.

At this point, JMM may very well be the best counter-puncher out there, and that's saying a mouthful! He has a bid to be one of the best ever, and that's saying even more! But, I think he deserves all that.

Like you, however, I do believe that he has to add a little more to what he does atop the ring. He should take initiatives when opportinities present themselves.

The road to Canastota, he may sadly find, is not for those who just sit and wait!

A bit off tangent, but does anyone know what the odds are for this fight?
