I just like watching Pacquiao, how he throws punches in bunches. It’s fast. You might get away from the first 2 or 3 but the next 2 or 3 coming behind that are gonna hit you. So, I kinda figured that out.
It’s something we’ve been saying the whole training camp. We call it “The Pacquiao,” because Pacquiao will step off as a southpaw and throw the overhand left.

He transforms from being that funny little guy into being a killer.
One guy’s purpose is to hit and not be hit, the other’s purpose is to not be hit and hit.
