OK... enough. I'm getting tired of hearing this ****** myth. Manny Pacquiao has been KO'd via body shot ONCE only.
The Rustico Torrecampo KO was a shot to the chin. Watch the video closely, YouTube has it. It's also available for download if you go to the relevant section of the forums. There are several different versions on YouTube. Choose the longer version which shows the punch slowed down.
It was a freak KO if there ever was one. Rustico Torrecampo is a Filipino Jr. Flyweight with a record of 14-8-5. Yeah, you know Torrecampo... the one who got a draw against Julie Tagalog (WTF) who had a spectacular record of 6-12-4. Seriously, put Pacquiao in the ring with Torrecampo now and see how long the fight lasts. Torrecampo is no monster. The KO was a freak occurrence and has no relevance whatsoever on how the Pacquiao-Hatton fight will play out. Nor does the Singsurat fight.
BoxRec confirms the details of the Torrecampo KO:
Back to the point. The body shot KO was by Medgoen Singsurat. The fact that Pacquiao was weight drained for this fight tarnishes Singsurat's win somewhat. Again, BoxRec confirms the details of this fight:
OK? Now, please go and watch the videos for yourself and please stop regurgitating the story about Manny Pacquiao being sensitive to the body and being KO'd twice. It's not true. I believe Pacquiao has one of the most well-conditioned bodies in boxing and Hatton will have little to no success with body shots.
