The Adjustment That Slowed Pacquiao Down

The Modern Martial Artist Guide 4 days ago

Description

After a poor second round, De La Hoya’s corner told him to stop walking in without his jab and to attack the body. He responded by doubling, tripling, and quadrupling short jabs.

The quicker tempo kept Pacquiao busy defensively, while body attacks gave Oscar a better chance to slow the smaller fighter’s lateral movement and cut him off.
