Guess not, I also don't see why he didn't use his left hand more. I thought he was catching Mayweather clean and hard with the straight left when he didn't throw the jab first, when he'd throw his jab Mayweather knew the left was coming.

You just can't throw and throw your left, the right is part of any southpaw boxers arsenal. The other hand which is his right, has so many ways that can be effective. Right hook, stiff right jab, single, double, triple jab before a left straight. Right cross etc..
The right hand is used to hide when a straight left is about to be fired upon. Pac didn't have that luxury that night.

Originally posted by AllEyesOpen View PostJust rewatched the fight and saw 2 elite fighters with respect for each other's skills go at it. Pacquiao simply made the same mistake as Canelo, he tried to outbox a better boxer. Pacquiao needed to overwelm Mayweather with activity from round one like Maidana did, and bank as many rounds before Mayweather adjusts and takes over. Whenever Pac would open up he would take control but he wasn't given many chances to, May was not going to "stand still", and was consistently beating him to the punch.
What I didn't see was an injured Manny Pacquiao.
If he was healthy with 2 hands.. I can easily see him put on more heavy combinations and relentless activity from Pac. But He couldn't be too offensive that night, he was limited with only his left hand as an effective weapon. He nursed his right shoulder up to the 12th.. Therefore, what we were expecting him to be didn't happen. He couldn't overwhelm, he needs to healthy hands to do that.Last edited by Spoon23; 05-09-2015, 04:05 AM.

ESPN exposing Floyd ripping on Manny's arm. Not that it had any bearing on the outcome, but he sure was tugging on that arm. Wonder why?
On a side note, Atlas dropping that ether making Pacs performance look that much more pathetic.
Anyhow, tomorrow night fellas. Tune in for a real fight.

I wonder what their next angle is it going to be, "Should it be illegal for Mayweather to stop punches with his gloves?"
