Mano-A-Mano: The People's Champ Did It Again!
A lot of improvements have been observed on this recent match by Pacman at the Araneta Center in the Philippines. I definitely agreed that this Pacman is not the same Pacman we knew since his first bout against Eric Morales. Aggressiveness has been converted to some mental tactics. Brainwise, he managed to handle the fight against Chololo very easily. Thanks to his fully devoted coach Freddie Roach who is handling now more Filipino boxers under his sleeve.
If he retains his aggressive and defense-neglecting attitude before, he probably defeated Larios quickly by KO/TKO. But that tactic has a higher chance of losing against him. Since being aggressive will give away so many weak points that an experienced enemy can seize anytime. Maybe that was what he learned from his first fight against Morales, where his aggressiveness was reduced to 12 rounds without gaining a score higher than his opponent. Because his aim that time was not for high score but for a knockout. But not all boxers can be taken down by his powerful punch in less than or equal to 12 rounds. As he level-up his way toward his career, he realized this mistake before he commits it again. And even though he was asked if what round probably Larios will be KO-ed if he was more aggressive, he just answered that it is still unpredictable because Larios was also heavily trained and conditioned for the fight. So he just let the people have their own opinion about that. A good answer from the People's Champ.
At least he also learned not to speak too much on media. He indeed is less noisy than any other Mexicans that challenged him. What he says are actually what his apparent advantages are. And then enough. He never boasted like having the upper-hand can easily beat any Mexican that would oppose him. He just tells us that he always exert his best in every fight for the honor of his country. At this point, I can see that he is aware of keeping his feet low in the ground. Good job, Manny Pacquiao! You really make our country proud of you!
