Pacquiao On Late Rounds: Points By Points

In this issue let us set aside Diaz matter, let’s focus on the eagerness of Pac fans on how Pacquiao going to win or stop Diaz in the bout called “Lethal Combination” of Top Rank Promotion in Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, on June 28, 2008.

On my last issue, I bet Pacquiao on the late rounds most probably within 9^th-11^th round destructions of Diaz. As I published previously, I foresee another first Pacquiao-Barrera alike demolition of Diaz in the late rounds.

Here are Pacquiao's advantage points:

1. The speed is the biggest factor for Pacquiao, he must capitalize this advantage.

2. Power. That’s the most exciting point of Pacquiao the word loved to see. He proved this area so many times, and the most deadly weapon of Pacquiao in his arsenal.

3. Manny is well known for his very firm chin. I didn’t see Diaz's chance on this point.

4. The muscle covering the abdomen area of Pacquiao is also a great factor. Diaz has a slim opportunity on this spot. Pacquiao is branded on this point.

5. The aggressiveness of Pacquiao, which is known in the whole world. I find so many boring fighters today, but with Pacquiao inside the ring, if can force myself not to blink in his fights I did it, you cannot afford to miss a single blast.

I forbid myself to do further analysis on Pacquiao's advantage points. Only those five above are short listed in my portfolio.

Why speed above on my list? Diaz is a polished slugger. Who do you think win, when a slugger and quick puncher explode inside the four cornered stage? Plus power on the side of quick one, it is definitely a no match. That's the reason I put “speed” first in my list because this is a great advantage.

And for the chin of Pacquiao. Many times that this area is in dangered, but Pacquiao, indeed, has a very compact jaw. I didn’t even see him wobbled seriously when he suffered a tremendous jab from any opponent, even from his lost to the legend Eric Morales, and his two illegitimate defeats to Torrecampo and Singsurat. He was just knocked down then just because of too much drained.

The muscle covering the belly of Pacquiao, every time I see it during his fights, I can’t imagine how he manage it to looks like a marvelous hardened igneous rock.

Lastly, the aggressiveness of Pacquiao certainly complements his winning chance without this all those four listed above are nothing but useless. I mean even one point is out on the list or the number two supersedes the number one spot, Pacquioa probably will be in trouble winning the fight.
