Ladies and Gentlemen welcome back to The Fight Game.
Manny Pac-Man Pacquiao is for sure a man with an illustrious career of highs and lows.
On this channel we've already taken an in-depth look at some of his greatest fights in a three-part
series.
Of course we must keep this series going with Part 4, where we take a
look at even more fights where he defied his boxing opponent.
It's crazy that Pacquiao needs not 1, not 2, not 3, but at least 4 videos to talk
about his great career.
The story of Manny Pacquiao is one that can be appreciated by nearly all
fight fans, a young boy from the Philippines with dreams, hard work and determination who
climbed his way to the top of the world.
He doesn't fight for money, he doesn't fight for fame, he fights for his people.
With no further adieu, let's get right into it.
In 2010 Manny Pacquiao defeated Antonio Margarito to become an eight-weight division world champion.
However in the year before that Shane Mosley would also fight Antonio Margarito, and Mosley
would win by technical knockout victory.
Commentator: "Mosley again a right and a left and a right and Margarito about to go down!"
In 2011 a highly exciting matchup was made between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley.
The fight was billed as The Undaunted, relating to
the resilience and heart of which both fighters undoubtedly brought to the ring.
Many thought this fight may be close, Pacquiao had
defeated Margarito but Mosley had stopped him.
Of course triangle theory doesn't work in Boxing, and the reality was far from close
come fight night.
The fight starts closely contested, with Pacquiao trying to land that strong left hand.
Here Mosley lands a great straight right hand.
Pacquiao would continue with a series of attacks to the body.
However soon Pacquiao would find a path to attack the head of Mosley.
Watch this attack from Pacquiao - A feint to the body, resulting in Mosley dropping
his hand, making way for a clever combination from Pacquiao.
Soon Mosley would feel the full force of Pacquiao's left hand.
Pacquiao drops Mosley with a stunning left hand, a feint then two straights.
After gaining the respect of Mosley Pacquiao felt comfortable throwing more combinations,
and would continue the fight in a dominant fashion.
However in round 10 there would be some controversy.
Shockingly the referee incorrectly calls a knockdown from a push.
Pacquiao now knowing he would lose this round began to push the action intensely.
However 2 of the 3 judges would actually go against the call of the referee, and scored
the round for Manny Pacquiao.
This would seem rather irrelevant as Pacquiao had won pretty much every round in the fight,
and he continued his beatdown of Shane Mosley to
cruise to an easy unanimous decision victory.
Despite the strength and toughness of Sugar Shane Mosley, Pacquiao remains the best, his
greatness unfolded that little bit more, his story told for evermore.
For the next fight we look to Pacquiao versus Hector Velasquez.
Pacquiao was the favourite, but you can never count out a Mexican.
Velasquez was expected to put up a good fight, and no one likes a good
fight more than Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiao would start on his toes, gauging Velasquez's intentions, and Velasquez would
actually end up scoring some great shots and ended up taking a lead in the fight.
However as the rounds progressed Pacquiao would get more accurate, and a fight of pure
action ensued.
Here Pacquiao lands a lead right-uppercut then jumps around his opponent.
Pacquiao likes to box in and out, but he's also a great inside fighter.
Velasquez put up a great fight for the fans, but soon the inevitable was a reality, a Manny
Pacquiao victory.
Pacquiao wins in round 6.
Next up we've got his great fight with Brandon Rios.
After being knocked out by Marquez, Pacquiao would begin his comeback.
Rios was your typical trash-talker, but Pacquiao's fists speak loudest.
Rios was a brawler, he loved a good fight, but Pacquiao in recent years had improved
his skill ten-fold.
Rios may be able to hold his own when it came to guts and bravado,
but when it came to outright skill, Pacquiao was the clear favourite.
The fight started, and we saw perhaps the most destructive, the most perfect, the most
ruthless beatdown in Manny Pacquiao's whole career.
Pacquiao would show a great utilization of the straight line in this fight, moving his
head to the left and to the right at all times.
Moving his head to the side while punching also makes his punches hard to anticipate,
and himself hard to hit.
[CROWD ROARING] Commentator: "A good left hand coming in...
look at the hand speed!"
[CROWD ROARING] Great footwork, great speed, great combinations,
singular attacks, this fight has it all.
Eventually the fight ended to award Pacquiao a very easy decision victory.
This fight showed his strength as a person to come back after
a devastating knockout loss.
Next up we go to Pacquiao's fight versus another great Mexican Jorge Solis.
The fight was billed as The Blaze of Glory.
This was Manny Pacquiao's 7th fight against an
undefeated fighter, and it came after his electric knockout victory over Erik Morales.
The fight started with Pacquiao establishing his rhythm.
Here Pacquiao catches Solis as he tries to turn off against the ropes.
Pacquiao would continue to dominate and thrive in back and forth action with the Mexican
fighter.
Here Pacquiao drops Solis in the midst of an attack.
Pacquiao wins the fight with another sharp left hand.
This win is one of many when it comes to Manny Pacquiao's victories over Mexican fighters.
Manny Pacquiao has won a world title in over 8 weight divisions throughout his career,
but he only ever fought once at lightweight.
We take a look at that fight which came against David Diaz.
This fight was billed as Lethal Combination.
The fight started with Pacquiao immediately finding a target for the left hand.
This was the last time, and one of the only ever times Manny Pacquiao faced a southpaw
in the ring.
Here Pacquiao ducks under Diaz's jab then responds with a flashy combination.
Pacquiao wins the fight with an outstanding knockout with the left hand.
This weight division is likely where Pacquiao is the absolute strongest at, it's crazy
he only ever fought there once.
Pacquiao's ability to venture outside of his natural weight class is what truly classifies
him as a great fighter.
This victory made Pacquiao the only Asian fighter to win a world title in 5 different
weight divisions.
