PAYBACK! How Defeat Forced Pacquiao To LEVEL UP His Boxing Style

Manny Pacman was a one handed fighter, relying on his insane left to blast his way to championships. Legendary coach Freddy Roach was trying to change all that by the time he faced Erik Morales, but old habits die hard. The loss would force Pacquiao to become the perfect boxing weapon in order to continue his relentless pursuit of more belts in higher and higher weight classes. Sometimes it's our losses that bring the greatest victories.

I always felt that Manny became a wiser, slightly more defensive fighter after the 4th Marquez fight.

[@drinfernodds]

Yeah, Manny realized his style was going to leave him more open to getting knocked out again. He refined himself even further in order to protect himself but still be an offensive threat.

[@joenelsaracho4836]

The 4th fight was unecessary but pac is so humble he agreed

[@antonioaaronosabel9574]

🇵🇭 Sad to say, Manny has this Habit, or say Dumb Move of still coming forward even with two seconds left. Classic example is with Hatton. He still came forward and Hatton let out a punch. If that Hit Manny, we don't know what'll happen. That Manny Habit is stupid. Instead of letting go of the dying seconds, he still moves forward even if he doesn't let loose punches. Instead, he got caught by the waiting and injured Marquez. Dumb move isn't it?

I've been having a bit of a personal struggle the last few days, and I feel like this is the exact video I needed today. It's interesting that you showed that footage of the Ali vs Norton fight towards the beginning, because that fight was Ali's "Evolve or Die" moment, just like this trilogy seems to have been for Pacquiao. The more videos about Pacquiao I watch, the more I get why he is such an inspiration to people. Dude just made a career of overcoming obstacles like this

[@TheZigzach]

The world is ours! 🌎

[@Tenchigumi]

Yeah, that's probably why Pacman is so much more beloved than fighters who might have cleaner records: he fought everyone, took on monumental challeneges, and was always able to bounce back stronger after a setback. Even the undefeated champion of boxing, Time, has struggled to keep Manny down.

[@TheModernMartialArtist]

Yeah since the start of the channel I've really tried to veer away from negativity and personal drama and all that kind of stuff. I want to put out positive messages, and I feel like the same way that Metal or Blues music can help people be happy by exploring the sad, boxing and martial arts can help people understand a lot of good stuff through combat. So I'm always happy to hear when my videos have a positive impact and I'm glad it helped!

Without going into detail, recently I found myself in a situation in life where I momentarily and honestly questioned the need to go on… And just by chance as I was mindlessly scrolling through my KZbin feed, I clicked on this pacquiao video I hadn’t seen before and decided to watch it. As the video came to an end, you unknowingly spoke about challenges in the closing of your video that really, really hit home for me. I was in a really dark place before I watched this video, a place that any single father raising two young girls should never find himself in. …brother I sincerely thank you, i know it wasn’t your intention when you made this video but something in that closing statement and watching Pacquiao really woke me.

Great video. I agree that the 1st fight was the perfect storm that started Manny's evolution. Other main takeaways from the 1st: Erik gave one of his greatest boxing performances. Pacquiao's management agreed both use the Winning gloves brand that diminished his punching power. Pac had to give blood 24 hours before weigh in due to The Commission supposedly losing record of his bloodwork!. The cut from a headbutt. All that aside, not using his preferred Reyes was the clincher. In the rematch you can tell the punishing effect it had on Morales you didn't see before. The KO was the tell the impact it had that suits Manny's puncher style better. The rubber match was like Agent Smith fighting Neo when he already became The One.

[@shkotayd9749]

As usual, well done analysis so far :D But those gloves in fight one. Winning Gloves are like pillows. They remind me of Ringside 10oz pro gloves. You can safely use them to spar, and work on the bag lol. They are dense pillows that protect the hand and dampen a lot of power. Manny needed that crack to hurt Morales since he didnt have the same toolbox. He didnt have the pop yet like say Inoue has to punch through that padding to hurt his man. He always like Reyes cause it was directly a punchers glove. I am betting he felt like he was impacting nothing every time he did land. EM certainly didnt show ANY damage from those shots first match either. He outworked and controlled Pac, but notably a good number of the crisp shots Pac landed back didnt do a lot. You saw the IMMEDIATE difference next fight right away when he had on a punchers glove.

I like the success story, but The Terrible always gets used like he was just a stepping stone in Pac-Man’s career.
