Default Pac-man

Manny P. is one of the most exciting fighters I have ever seen.
The guy throws punches from ever possible position and still
stays balanced. You think he is throwing too long or wild and
theh he comes in with the shortest most compact left hook and
puts Diaz to sleep.

Incredible fighter. And he comes to fight every time I have seen
him. Will be interesting to see who he takes on next. He is getting
into the weights that should be harder for him to knock guys out.

You can take that as a " I don't follow everything possible to see while purporting to be an expert in every facet of every game"........kind of thing.











Shut up Phil.

So you dont like the most exciting boxer in the sport?
Who in boxing do you think puts on a better show
and is better in the ring than Manny?

I like Cotto also.

PBF is gone for the moment so we cant count him can we...

What do you think about Pavilk's style? Does he punch everyone
into submission or is he going to find himself on the mat
again but not getting up?

not to self: gotta cut down on the baseball posts...

I'll get back to you on this...but most aggressive fighters are very susceptible to getting knocked down. It will be very hard to knock him out,though.

Most lightweights, and below, dont hit as hard as their large
counterparts dont ya think? Therefore fewer knockouts in
the lower weights. Even though Manny started out at an
ungoldy 106, and now fights at 135... thats pretty darn impressive.
If he eventually finds himself at Welterweight and wins (could be
dangerous), he could have run through more weight divisions than
any fighter in history.

I think thats exciting.

I would say that is because he lighter weights tend to be much better boxers....and maybe that is because the power isn't there like the heavier weights,as you said.

I don't follow it much anymore---too much nonsense goes on.I honestly don't know who this guy is.




MMA is a clear sign of going over the edge.


Beware.
