Manny Pacquiao His Boxing Style

Style is classified as infighter propensity. In the lightweight class below the featherweight class, charge-type infighting was prominent, and in the lightweight or welterweight class, it shows a much more diverse style. Based on his tremendous physical strength and footwork, he explosively pours powerful punches like a machine gun. In addition, the accuracy is extremely high, so the punch penetrates the opponent's guard like an awl and damages it. The biggest feature is active combination and rush attacks, which can almost be described as "die or die," and his style makes the opponent's face almost pitifully messed up after the game. In addition, it is not just the number of fists or the speed of consecutive hits is fast, but it is also a huge nuclear fist.

In fact, Pacquiao's style is far from the standard. Usually, it is standard to go outside when you come in for an infighting and fall to the side, but Pacquiao often goes inside. As you enter the inside, you hold your front foot in an exquisite position, block the chase with an anomalous jab, or rather aim for the counter by hitting a hook while entering while dubbing. If not, it flies one-two at the same time as it falls inside, and the straight comes out riding the centrifugal force that comes out as the foot pivots inward. Usually, if you make such an anomalous punch, the accuracy is bound to be poor, but Pacquiao is scaryly accurate at the same time. Even the jab pierces sharply between the guards by raising its fists vertically.

The pattern of falling out is also far from the standard style, and there are many patterns of Pacquiao falling out after making a backhand straight with a lead punch while doing a lunge. The problem is that when you do a lunge, the center collapses and you run forward, which is perfect for getting hit by the counter. However, with various setups, agile head movements, and natural timing, most people don't get hit by the counter. On top of that, if you know that you can't react even if you hit the next punch with the right backhand straight, you don't fall out, but rather tap it with various combinations, and you hit it while running forward. In many ways, he is far from the standard.

Since he is a player who hits so many times in a row, his opponent is sometimes pushed back by hitting back, but Pacquiao suddenly stretches his back foot to the back, spills the momentum on his back, and runs forward to hit a counter-base hit. This is why the opposing player pushes in, but Pacquiao is often helplessly beaten by consecutive hits made by stepping back. For this reason, even if the opponent has a high average body, it cannot be easily pushed by weight class.

Pacquiao, who rose to the welterweight level, was reborn as a player with tremendous skills trained by trainer Freddie Roach despite a two-weighted stretch, beating prominent super-class players of the same era as Oscar Della Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Coto and Antonio Margarito. However, the style has changed to technology and power-dependent boxer rather than explosive speed or consecutive hits.

It's hard to say that he's completely boxing in every way like Floyd Mayweather Jr., but his instinctively stretched anomalous punch and combination are the best in boxing history, and this raw gladiator-like fighting was the key to Pacquiao's becoming a popular boxer. He was named the best boxer of the year twice in the "Ring" magazine and topped the Pound for Pound (assuming there is no weight difference). In other words, he was recognized by everyone as the strongest player of the time.

His trainer Freddie Roach is indispensable to Pacquiao's tremendous success. Trainer Freddie Roach, whom Pacquiao met as he entered the U.S., improved Pacquiao technically tremendously, making him a perfect fighter with both physical and boxing skills. Until I met Freddie Roach, Pacquiao was just a left-handed player, his offense monotonous and his defense skills were so poor. However, under Roach's guidance, Pacquiao can use both his right and left hands strongly, and his defense skills have improved significantly, becoming a player who overcame the disadvantages of the moon. Freddie Roach is currently suffering from Parkinson's disease due to his many punches during his active career. Nevertheless, Freddie Roach's status in the Philippines is enormous, with his dedication to coaching Pacquiao. In fact, the most famous person in the Philippines is Pacquiao, the second most famous person is Freddie Roach, and the third most famous person is President Arroyo.

Roach, who spent 16 years with Pacquiao, was named the Boxing Trainer of the Year a total of seven times by the American Boxing Journalists Association, and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2012. However, on 14 July 2018, he announced on 17 April that he would break up with coach Roach for the first time in 16 years ahead of a match against WBA welterweight champion Lucas Matisse. He said he would play against Matisse with another trainer, and coach Roach expressed regret, saying, "I was not officially notified of this until Pacquiao announced it." "Manny and I have spent more time together than married people, and this long relationship is very rare in the boxing world," Roach said. "It would be a lie if I told you that it didn't hurt to make this decision without a word of notice, but there were much more good times."

Watch: Manny Pacquiao Son First Fight Full Fight Video

Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao’s son made his boxing debut this weekend. For those that didn’t see it here it is: Great stuff. Pacquiao after the bout gave his reaction to his son’s victory:

An amazing spectacle this past Saturday night in Las Vegas, as Manny Pacquiao beat Keith Thurman by split decision in an action-packed fight.

Pacquiao’s great look started with his robe - i wish we had more shots of this:

Outstanding look in the ring as well:

Pac wore white Anta trunks with red, yellow, and blue trim, blue waistband with PACQUIAO in red with yellow outline on the front and PACMAN across the back.

He had his usual one thousand ads, as well as FIGHT ON along the right leg and ANTA along the left:

Manny wore standard red Cleto Reyes gloves with an unexplained black ribbon along the thumb.

He wore high white Anta socks and a great pair of white Anta shoes with red and blue trims. For extra bonus - some nice red, yellow and blue tassels!

Keith Thurman acquitted himself well in defeat, with perhaps his best executed look in several fights.

He wore four-piece gladiator style trunks in his typical red-white and blue.

The front piece was a bejeweled blue background with red piping, with a white star, outlined in red, along with a red waistband with ONE TIME in bejeweled white with blue outlines.

The only ad was for Fashion Nova, a fascinating “club-attire” clothing store found in malls in California. Fashion Nova also had an add on Pacman’s trunks and appeared on the ring itself. I guess their marketing has determined that the ven diagram of 18+ nightclubs and boxing fans heavily overlaps. Anyway, the back of Thurman’s trunks was the same template as the front, except with a red background, blue piping and blue outline around a white star. BEN GETTY, Thurman’s late trainer and mentor, was across the waistband in the back. The side panels were white with some sparkly flourishes as well.

Thurman wore white Rival gloves with American flag motifs, similar to those he has worn in recent fights:

A little thumb detail, nice touch with the One Time in script:

Thurman wore white Rival shoes with red and blue trim, and One Time in black script towards the top of the ankle.

Great fight, and strong looks from both fighters.
