Pacquiao

[Sforza]

Two of the best post fight articles I've read so far; both short and full of insight.

For Pacquiao, a Victory Comes at a Painful Cost

An hour had passed since the fight ended, since the boos that cascaded throughout the arena drowned out Pacquiao’s in-ring interview. He went upstairs, walking gingerly, to the postfight news conference. For the first time in a long time, he felt it necessary to defend himself.

“It’s very clear that I won the fight,” he said.

Pacquiao took all of two questions, then retired down the street to his suite at Mandalay Bay after another classic fight between two men that raised more questions than it answered.

Why Manny Pacquiao Can't Beat JMM

Turning away from Manny's dominant hand is not only the key to avoiding it, but it can also open him up for quick counters and true straight right hands that land up the middle. One of the keys to being a complete fighter is standing on an angle that keeps the opponent from being able to land his best punch, while you are in position to get off first, or counter a mistake. That's the genius in what Marquez does.
