Pacquiao is gonna put on a "Roberto Duran" type of body attack in this fight

[Khalid X]

Pacquiao body punching? Are you serious TS?

watch and see. Alot of people will be shocked at how good Pacquiao is at going to the body. I even predict him to drop Clottey atleast once with a body shot. I have been watching Pac for a while and he is constantly adding new wrinkles to his game. Roach is turning him into a complete fighter and Clottey will be in for a lot of trouble come march 13th.

I seen someone else say that. I'll tell you like I told them. If Manny does that he opes himself up to Clotteys triple Left Hook up and downstairs. He also will leave himself open for a nice stiff jab to the face. I think he should sticks with what works. If it aint broke dont try to fix it IMO.

Its not like he will only body punch and leave himself open to get countered. I'm saying he will mix it up by going to the body a lot to set up head shots...just like Duran did in his prime.

pac could always body punch, but he prefers to headhunt.

Barrera said a while back that pac's left to the body takes the air out of opponents. And you could see it on full display against cotto. cotto was curling up when ever pac shot his left down the middle. We'll see alot of it in this fight and it will open clottey defense upstairs. I feel sorry for clottey.

Im glad someone understands what I'm talking about. He will use it to open up Clottey and then take him out that way. That is how Duran did it back in the day. Roberto would come with such a viscous attack to the body that his opponents would slowly lower their guard only to get KTFO by something big upstairs.

While we have see a few body punches here and there from Pac....we have never seen a sustain attack, but we will come March 13th.

I'm telling you guys right now....people are gonna go crazy over how good of a body puncher Pacquiao has turned into after this fight. Also look for a few other surprises in this fight as Pacquiao continues to evolve into one of the most complete boxers in the sport.

I agree. Been saying it since day one. Hit the body and weaken the resolve. Clotteyis a fighter who has struggled to make weight for years and doesn't take body shots well. Why wouldn't you go downstairs? Except Clottey is well aware of this, which is why he protects his ribs so well. If Pacquiao can down the middle (up and downstairs and using his own uppercut as well), he can pull off the stoppage.

exactly...not only has he struggled with weight (meaning he will be softer in the middle) but he has an Iron chin. If we have learned anything over the last couple of years it's this....Most guys with granite chins are weak in the body.

Manny will mix it up going downstairs, then using up jabs (another new wrinkle) and finally going to the head. By going back n forth or by focusing alot on the body early....Clottey's high guard will slowly start to open up, leading to him getting stopped in the second half of the fight.

yea, ummmm clottey's no barerra. pac's body punch aint gonna do nothin agains his peek a boo defense. go watch a clottey fight and u'll see.

I guess while Pacquiao is body punching then Clottey will be watching the jumbo screen. Do y'all believe half the stuff y'all say? In order for Manny to body punch he has to be close with those short arms and if he is close then he will be in the pocket where Freddie Roach said he don't want him. Manny already don't have good defense so u really believe he will do a Robero Duran style performance on Clottey? I guess Clottey was invited to the party but not allowed to drink. Damn this superhero **** has gone too far.

if you watch the first cotto knock down. the left to the body opened up the right to the chin. it was a good combo to throw as cotto relied on a faux shoulder roll to protect his face.

but clottey doesn't use the shoulder shield defense.
