Pacquiao vs Mosley: Pacquiao’s angles to put Mosley in trouble

MANILA, Philippines – Boxing trainer Freddie Roach said one of the strategies of Manny Pacquiao against the power-punching American “Sugar” Shane Mosley is the use of angles.


“Manny knows all the combinations already,” the venerable coach told The Ring Magazine correspondent Ted Lerner. “I did a lot research. If you can obtain an angle on your opponent, it makes the fight that much easier.”


The Filipino champion is scheduled to defend his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against Mosley on May 7.

Roach said that they have trained Pacquiao to throw punches at certain angles where he is most unlikely to get hit.

“Manny’s developed that over the years. I did a lot research. If you can obtain an angle on your opponent, it makes the fight that much easier,” he said.
