Pacquiao’s boxing success is based on what he probably lost
Published
4 weeks agoon

Manny Pacquiao will end almost a four -year break from the ring to challenge Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title on July 19 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
“I came back”, Pacquiao Posted on social media That his rumors return officially. “Let’s do a story!”
Last time Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KO) was in a square district, the Filipino boxing legend abandoned the unanimous decision to Yordenis Ugas in August 2021. He was 42 years aged. When he passes through the ropes to face Barrio, he will be 46 years aged.
Pacquiao, which will be introduced to the International Gallery of Boxing Fame on June 8, did not deal with the motivation for the decision to end his retirement, but the story he talks about is an opportunity to break his own record as the oldest 147-pound world champion in boxing (40 years, 215 days). In historically, only two boxers won the fight for the title of world champion at the age of 46 or older – George Foreman (46 years aged, 102 days) and Bernard Hopkins, who won four title fights after their 46th birthday and was 49 years aged, 94 days in his last winning title.
Foreman had amazing power at his advanced age to remove opponents, while Hopkins was more about technology and defense than athleticism to lead him to victory at the age of 40. Pacquiao is largely based on athleticism to win the fights, and its once flat speed was clearly falling in its last fight.
To illustrate the fall of Pacquiao, he threw 10 less blows to the round and landed about seven fewer blows for the round in his six fights after the age of 40, compared to its results in the last 14 fights earlier, according to Compubox-Rekord 4-2 with only 1 KO.
Defeating Barrios will be a huge mountain to climb-in-depths and in the figuratively-for the only eight-person world champion in boxing. Replaced at 6 feet, Barrios will be the highest opponent of Pacquiao in his multi -story professional career, which began in 1995. Barrios is also 16 years younger than Pacquiao, which is the greatest divergence of age for the four -time northern champion.
But while Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KO) is more than powerful, the father’s time will be the most challenging challenge for Pacquiao to defeat the ring.
Pacquiao met with the legendary coach Freddie Roach to return to the fight, and the animated duo will work to build a game plan to cause nervousness. But boxing is a challenging sport that you can jump after almost half a decade, especially in the 1940s, and when athletism was the basis of Pacquiao’s success.
As a warrior whose crime is based on speed and explosion, Pacquiao must find a youth fountain to cause nervousness (Barrios is a favorite by -450 for the ESPN plant). Throughout his career, Pacquiao’s success was largely because of his ability to throw trouble and go out, blowing up opponents with combinations of lightning at heavenly angles. Only the highest contractors (Juan Manuel Marquez and Floyd Mayweather) could get the right reading of the unpredictable Pacquiao offensive explosions and tame them at the right time. When Pacquiao began to ponderous down, it was easier to qualify fighters such as Jeff Horn to work out. Despite this, there were moments when Pacquiao was swift enough at the draw to surprise the opponents. Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman faced-I lost-40-year-old Pacquiao, who was still explosive enough to overwhelm at its speed.
It was six years ago.
In the last fight, Pacquiao from Ugas showed less explosion and hindered his leg work through JAB and looping his right hand. It is true that Ugas is a technically solid Cuban boxer, which was based on the fundamental sound over pure athleticism to become the world champion. Nevertheless, Pacquiao never found any rhythm and was finally developed in what was assumed that he was the final fight of his legendary career.
The fight against Barrio will be the same about finding your aged Pacquiao form as about overcoming the physical advantages of the opponent. Pacquiao will have to hope that his time away from sport will provide a very needed spring at his step. If he is not able to cut angles and find holes that you can throw and leave the legs of the legs, he will end at the wrong end of the Barrios long immersion.
Barrios, however, is not impossible to beat and is the most reasonable path for Pacquiao to achieve his purpose of regaining the title of welterweight. During the last trip, Barrios survived the knocking out in the sixth round to save the split against Abel Ramos to Undercard Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson in November. Barrios tends to negate his growth and achieve advantages, fighting the “miniature” and having most of his success inside. His loser with a knockout from Gervont Davis in 2021. “El Azteca” became defenseless, squatting within her shorter opponent-Davis has 5 feet-5½. Barrios is also a bit slower and can be developed by a more extensive opponent. Thurman left the 931-day break and looked faster and sharper than Barrios when they met in 2022.
Despite this, Thurman was 33 years aged and in the original years of boxing of physicality and athleticism. Pacquiao is far from this. It is unlikely that in the mid -1940s Pacquiao will somehow faster and more explosive than against Thurman and Broner in 2019.

Richardson Hitchins performed a distinctive performance to defend his super featherlight IBF title on Saturday evening.
The former Promotion Star Mayweather pushed into 20-0, 8 KO, with a powerful show of knocking the body against the former world owner George Cambosos Jr.
Richardson Hitchins breaks out
Hitchins lit a theater in Madison Square Garden, proving that there is no longer Floyd Mayweather in the shade. It is noticeable, however, that Hitchins collected several features of his former mentor.
After a week filled with destitute blood, Hitchins and Cambosos settled beef like men in the middle of the ring. Hitchins turned out to be stronger and more qualified.
The result was never doubtful from the first minute of the first round. Continuing everything with a stab, Hitchins won a perfect victory and finished the competition in eighth place with a sweet shot.

Cambosos drops to 22-4, 10 KO, lost to Devin Haney, Vasiliy Lomachenko, and now Hitchins.
When discussing his victory, Hitchins said: “A few years ago I watched Teofimo Lopez and George Cambosos Jr. who go to war.
“I sat on these stairs and said that when I have the opportunity, I would apply the best. With the assist of Eddie Hearn and Keith Connelly, they changed my life in two years.”
He added: “As for the fight itself, I told the world of boxing that I am true. If you don’t know Richardson Hitchins, you now know.
“I told the world of boxing that I came. They should have heard and now I am here.”
Moving from Floyd Mayweather
Before the fight, Hitchins moved why he left Mayweather to fresh pastures after becoming his own man.
“The last conversation of Floyd and I was so that he tried to force me to sign with him again because I asked Leonard [Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions] Let me leave.
“I wasn’t cheerful with how it lasts and [Floyd] I came to me to tell me, you know, for example: “Let’s be there, but I was there, I did it.
“It was like a toxic relationship,” he concluded.
Eddie Hearn, who took advantage of Mayweather’s loss, gave Cambosos his props, but smiled from ear to ear because of his clever takeover of the Hitchins.
He said: “George is a warrior, but you need it if you are Richardson, go out, get on gas and dominate.
“Sometimes it was allowed by the coast for 12 rounds, but he left and dominated an excellent performance.
“This is a statement that he had to mix with these guys. A great atmosphere, a great performance of a great adolescent American champion. It’s time to make great fighting.”
Hitchins vs Cambosos Undercard results
Also on the account of Andy Cruz moved to 6-0, 3 KO, stopping Hironori Mishiro (17-2-1, 6 KO) in five rounds.
Cruz won the featherlight title IBF Eliminator after two -time dropping of Mishiro and proving his world title references. The Olympic gold medalist may expect a compulsory title in the coming months.
In his interview after the fight, Cruz said: “I want to thank you because I am really grateful for all people who appeared, real boxing fans who followed me through my entire career.
“This is another step to achieve my main goal, which is the world champion.”

In further actions, Australian hefty Brute Teremoana Teremoana made it eight KO from eight wins. Giant Puncher knocked out Aleem Whitfield in the first round.

The Moses vs Rogers struggle took place at Hul the Madison Square Garden, as part of Hitchins vs Cambosos Undercard. Boxing is a sport based on levels, and on Saturday evening Moses turned out to be a level over his opponent.
In the opening round of the Carl Rogers competition he hit first when he landed on his body. Southpaw Zaquin Moses started working with precision, consistently associated with a stab, a straight left and right hook.
Rogers began the second round, landing right. Moses looked very relaxed in the second round, when he worked with a stab and arrows from bodies landed.
Moses kept him on the cruise inspection in the 3rd round, when Rogers went down and still hit him with a variety of blows. At this point, Moses began to make the boxing match look like a loved sparring session.
20-year-old Moses still hit Rogers with a pointed stab at the beginning of the fourth round. After landing on the first minute of the fourth, Moses focused on attacking the body.
A few seconds later, Moses switched to throwing combinations when he dropped Rogers when he landed on the temple. Rogers got up, but when the match lasted, Moses landed shots that forced the judge to enter and stop the competition.
Together with the victory, Newark, from Fresh Jersey Zaquin Moses (4-0, 3 KO), showed his patience, speed, power, accuracy and great placement of punch. During the interview after the fight, Zaquin Moses talked about his way of thinking in the fight against Rogers.
“Do what I do and have fun. I knew that this kid was not at my level, when they first sent him to me, but to do what I do and have fun, and as I said at a press conference, I work challenging and show it here” – said Moses.

Hitchins’ victory declaration after Cambosos: “I want Teofimo Lopez or Devin Haney Next”

June 15, 2025
IBF Featherlight Direter Wich Master Richardson Hitchins (20-0, 8 Kos) says that he wants to fight Teofimo Lopez or Devin Haney after his eighth round TKO wins over the Shell George Cambosos Jr. (22-4, 10 KO) On Saturday evening at the Madison Square Garden theater in Modern York.
Lopez, Haney then for Hitchins?
Hitchins thoughts He arrived in Superstardom After defeating one hit Wonder Cambosos, and this is not reality. He is simply perceived as a guy who chose Cambosos to easily win and avoid compulsory IBF, Subriel Matias and Gary Antuanne Russell. In other words, two fighters who can beat him.
It is not clear whether Teofimo and Haney expect that Turks Alalshikh will finance the fight against Hitchins, because without him, to put money, they probably won’t get a lot $ 10 million The handbags they received for the last fights with the target on May 2 at the Times Square in Modern York. When Teo and Devin find out that they will not get $ 10 million to fight Hitchins, they will disappear and leave.
Financial obstacles for Hitchins’ fights
Teofimo and Haney will not be satisfied with obtaining a $ 2 million bag due to Turka’s not involvement. Hitchins is not a PPV star, and the fight between him and Lopez or Haney will not be a fight worthy of PPV. Promoters can put it on DAZN PPV, but it will not bring vast numbers, because Hitchins, Haney and Lopez are not proven PPV fighters/
“Teofimo Lopez. Or one of them,” said Richardson Hitchins in Press conference after the fight Asked who would prefer to fight between Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez after winning him with George Cambosos Jr. On Saturday evening.
You can understand why Devin and Lopez would like to fight Hitchins the next one after he looked like Cambosos tonight. Despite the TKO won from the eighth round over Cambosos, Hitchins looked very beating and not impressive. Lightweight, Andy Cruz, would worry Hitchins if he were in the ring. Cruz is nowhere close to the same size as Hitchins, but he defeated it.
“With me, my approach, my charisma, my extravagance and what I bring to the table,” said Hitchins, bragging. “People hate me, but they will observe me. Boxing needs someone like me and someone like Teofimo, crazy. So both of them will go for a great accumulation. We are adolescent and best.
“I think it will be drugs and there is a story behind it. It is a great fight, and me and Devin Haney are also a great fight,” said Hitchins.
