Welcome back fight fans to another video here
on The Fight Game. In every Manny Pacquiao fight there has been
peril, and therefor there is always glory in the triumph. War after war, Pacquiao delights his
fans with his courage of fighting toe-to-toe with every opponent he faces. In Boxing preparing for battle is physical,
and more often than not plans are ineffective, but on the flipside to that coin planning
is also indispensable. For the large majority of Manny Pacquiao's
career he's worked closely alongside long-time trainer Freddie Roach. The epic trainer-student duo has become one
of the most recognized in the sport and it's effectiveness is unquestioned. Of course Buboy Fernandez deserves a mention
as he's not only been Pacquiao's co-trainer, but longtime friend. Pacquiao's resume is a long one. The only 8-weight division world champion. The only 5-weight division lineal world champion. The oldest welterweight Champion in History. The only boxer to hold a world title in 4
different decades. The only 4-weight glamour division world champion. The only world Champion to
serve as senator. In Boxing Manny Pacquiao has broken so many
world records he likely has the world record for the most world records broken. Pacquiao is still chasing more records, when
he beat Thurman last year he scored his 22nd victory over a world champion, if he wins
2 more he will beat Floyd Mayweather's world record
of 23. With over 70 fights to his record his career
is rich of highs and lows, it's had it's ups and
downs but his fans have stuck by him all the way. Looking at Manny Pacquiao's career is like
looking at a history book, chapters upon chapters of glory and honor. Over a month ago we made a video looking at
some of the most electrifying moments of Manny Pacquiao's career, that video got
over 30 thousand likes which is absolutely incredible and a massive thanks to all of
you who showed your support by liking, sharing and commenting
on the video. In this video, we make Part 2. Welcome to this video here on The Fight Game,
where we once again take a look at some historic moments
where Manny Pacquiao defied his opponents, and shocked the Boxing world. For this video we start with one of the most
significant victories of Manny Pacquiao's career, his glorious win over Mexican Marco
Antonio Barrera. Going into this fight Barrera was recognized
as the lineal featherweight champion of the world. The general consensus in the boxing world
was that this fight was going to be an easy one for Barrera,
but Manny Pacquiao was the ultimate wild card. Barrera had huge support and fittingly De
La Hoya was watching ringside. The fight started with Barrera in the white
and Pacquiao in the red. Pacquiao began cautiously testing Barrera's
defense with his lead hand in search for an opening
to land his laser-like hard left hand. Quickly Pacquiao landed the left but then
slipped. Commentator: That was a slip
[CROWD CHEERING] But then shockingly the referee called it
a knockdown. Pacquiao now with a massive mental burden
before the end of only the first round. However he had to stay focused,
and that's what he did. Pacquiao got back to establishing his jab,
and now and then he would slip the left hand in behind it. Barrera ended the round with a good bodyshot. [CROWD CHEERING] Before we continue lets take a look at the
so-called knockdown. Pacquiao lands the left hand, but seems to
trip over Barrera's lead foot. Upon closer look we see
that Barrera actually steps on Pacquiao's foot, resulting in Pacquiao falling over. It was indeed a trip and shouldn't have been
called a knockdown. Now let's hear what advice Freddie Roach had
in the corner. Roach: Double jab, okay? Alright? Don't let him lead you, let's back him up
with the double jab. Double jab, left hand. We hear that Roach is instructing Pacquiao
to set up the left hand with a double jab. In the first 5 seconds Pacquiao let's go of
that same combination. And seconds later the same again. Pacquiao also put his own spin on the instructions
by double-feinting before the left-hand. This is a great example of Pacquiao's
disciplined ability to take instructions. As round 2 came to a close the heat began
to rise, Pacquiao and Barrera began to scrap and the fans were watching an early clash
of wills. [CROWD CHEERING] Going into round 3 there was a welt forming
around the eye of Barrera. And quickly Pacquiao would score the first
real knockdown of the fight. [CROWD CHEERING] With the crowd roaring Pacquiao fought his
heart out, the underdog was an underdog no more. It was all Pacquiao. As the rounds went by it was the Filipino
underdog who out-fought the Mexican warrior. [CROWD CHEERING]
Commentator: This is an absolute war! The speed in both the
hands and feet of Manny Pacquiao shocked the American-Mexican crowd. Out of nowhere this young man from the Philipines
arrived onto the scene and now he was demolishing one of
the division's greatest. [CROWD CHEERING] The blitzing hand-speed was piercing the guard
of Barrera with ease. For every punch Barrera was landing, Pacquiao
landed 3. [CROWD CHEERING] Then in round 6 Pacquiao seemingly dropped
Barrera, however it was ruled a slip. Let's take a closer look, in slow motion we
can actually see that it should've been ruled a knockdown. So far Pacquiao had been robbed of 2 points. But it mattered not to Pacquiao, his mental
fortress remained in-tact and he continued to bulldoze
Barrera in the following round. It was the dawning of a new superstar, the
coming-out party. [CROWD CHEERING] In round 11 Barrera would get knocked down
with exhaustion from the sheer pressure Pacquiao had put on him. What many don't talk about is Pacquiao's fitness,
his pace of fighting is almost impossible to keep up with. Pacquiao shortly would continue the onslaught
and Barrera's corner finally stepped onto the ring apron to stop the fight. Pacquiao had done it, a legend was born in
the ring that night. A superstar of Boxing who
rose from rags to riches. Pacquiao defied Barrera with heart and speed
to score a technical knockout victory in the 11th round. Pacquiao: I am a superstar to the eyes of
the people, but in myself I don't want to be higher than before. Translator: He means that he wanted to still
be humble as he usually is. The victory sparked a media frenzy and fans
couldn't wait to see more from Manny Pac-Man Pacquiao. For the next fight we take a look at the megafight
between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. The fight was fittingly billed as Firepower. This was Pacquiao's seventh weight division
he ventured into. The only six-weight world champion ever wanted
to push his record further. The fight took place at welterweight. Cotto at the time was a highly respected Puerto
Rican warrior with a long string of wins over high-class opponents. If you hadn't guessed already Pacquiao had
a lot of doubters during his career. Every fight they said he had
finally went too far, but Pacquiao knows no limits. The fight started cautiously. Pacquiao showed Cotto's power great respect. Cotto kept Pacquiao at bay with the jab. Cotto ended the round strong. [CROWD CHEERING]
Commentator: Ducking and slipping, and now tries to get a bodyshot in on Pacquiao. [BELL RINGS] Cotto is just as fast when he
trades with Pacquiao! Round 2 was much of the same, Cotto had fought
fast fighters before and he knew how to keep Pacquiao in his cage. Commentator: So far Cotto is doing alright! [CROWD CHEERING] But the tentative easing wouldn't last long. Commentator: 3-punch combination Pacquiao! There's the speed advantage for Pacquiao! He starts to open up! Cotto tries to find a place to counter! And by the end of round 2 each fighter were
slugging it out. Commenator: Good bodyshot by Cotto! Traps Pacquiao in the Corner! What a round! [BELL RINGS]
Commenator 2: This is what we came for! The next round started with the crowd chanting
Manny. And soon Pacquiao would score the first knockdown. Commentator: Manny landed a little right hook
in there - and follows up by knocking Cotto down! The combination was one Pacquiao likes to
throw a lot, jab to the head, left hand to the body, then jab back up to the head. The opponent drops
his lead hand for the bodyshot, leaving an opening upstairs, and then Pacquiao takes
advantage with the right hand. This is also the same combination that knocked
Thurman down. However after the knockdown it was actually
Cotto who fought back valiantly, and ended up dominating
most of the round. Commentator: That's Manny's rythm, he goes
in and out, he punches on his toes. Commentator: Left hook by Cotto landed! - knocked
Pacquiao back! Round 4 continued with back and forth action
Commentator: This is the most we've seen Pacquiao geting hit in recent fights. Commentator 2: Uppercut snaps Pacquiao's head
back! [CROWD CHEERING]
Commentator 2: Flurry of punches for Pacquiao! When Pacquiao laid against the ropes Cotto
landed hard blows to the body and head. But then Pacquiao
returned with a flurry of his own and ended up scoring another knockdown. Commentator: Now it's Cotto who's back is
against the ropes, and he fights his way off, and goes down again! Pacquiao's an incredibly difficult boxer to
face because of his ability to throw punches from all sorts of angles. Cotto got back up and continued fighting,
and even though Cotto seemed to be the one scoring more, Pacquiao was taking Cotto's
shots really well. Pacquiao kept walking Cotto down,
resulting in Cotto getting fatigued from all the movement he was doing to avoid a frontal
confrontation. Soon Pacquiao got to Cotto in the corner. Cotto quickly grew tired and
Pacquiao took advantage of that. Commentator: He can't see the punches coming! Pacquiao's god-like fitness is what separates
him from the rest. It now seemed the end was near as Pacquiao
proceeded the continuation of a vicious assault. Commentator: Does he wanna close the show? Does he wanna close it right now? Pacquiao scored a technical knockout victory
in the 12th round. [CROWD CHEERING]
Commentator: Now Kenny Bayless does his duty! Pacquiao once again done the improbable, he
defied Cotto with pure greatness. There's a reason why he's regarded by some
to be the best boxer in the sport, beating Miguel Cotto is one
of many. Commentator: We thought Manny Pacquiao was
great, he's better than we thought. For the next one we go far into the past for
old time's sake, we go back to over 21 years ago to December of 1998, where he won his
first world title. The fight took place at the 112 pound
division, and he came up against Chatchai Sasakul. Sasakul was a boxer from Thailand, and the
fight took place on his home turf. At the time Sasakul had 32 wins and only 1
loss. Pacquiao at the time had 23 wins and 1 loss. They both were fast boxers and the combined
54 wins made the matchup very exciting. The fight started with Pacquiao pushing forward. We can see here, even over 20 years ago, Pacquiao's
straight left hand was the money shot. Commentator: Good left hand there from Pacquiao. His in-and-out movement of the feet is something
that's deeply rooted into his style. [CROWD NOISE] In the 8th round Pacquiao got the job done
with a hard left hand. [CROWD NOISE]
Commentator: And down he goes... We can see Pacquiao simply flicked the jab
to measure up the distance, then after that he replaced it with a laser-like
left hand. Manny Pacquiao's reign had officially begun. Next up we look at the fight between Manny
Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. The fight was billed as The Battle of East
and West. It took place at the light-welterweight limit
of 140 pounds. Before the fight, both fighters had a friendly
game of darts. [DARTS THROWING] Spectator: Ricky wants double 2. Spectators: Ay! Hatton would win, but of course it was the
fight-result that truly mattered. Lots of people are aware of this knockout
against Hatton, but very few know the technicality behind how it was made possible. The fight started with Hatton moving forward
in a straight line, Pacquiao timed a fall-back right hook. The fall-back right-hook is a signature shot
from Manny Pacquiao, he lets his body fall to his back leg when his opponent throws,
this makes the opponent over-extend and consequently leaves an opening. Pacquiao has done this famously against Margarito. Pacquiao lands this punch seconds later again. Pacquiao soon landed this punch a third time,
but Hatton would not be so lucky this time around. Commentator: 1-2-3-4, very heavy looking punches
he really let them go there. And a right hand! Puts Hatton the floor! He still has the power even at this weight! Pacquiao had become familiar with the timing
of the punch, and he was able to intercept Hatton's left hand with it this time. Pacquiao would knock down
Hatton another time before the end of the round. Commentator: He's in survival mode here! Commentator 2: Down again! He's been caught here by a Pacific Typhoon! Hatton made it to round 2, but would soon
be ultimately knocked out. [CROWD CHEERING]
Commentator: Oh! That might end it! Massive left hand! Let's take a closer look at this punch, Pacquiao
falls back on his left leg, like he did when he scored the first
knockdown. Pacquiao extends his right arm, to give the
elusion that he was repeating the same punch, but Pacquiao actually comes up with a left
hook instead of a right. I personally like to call this rhythmic deception. Hatton was anticipating the same punch, and
was in no way prepared for the pulverizing left hand that came from down low. This knockout won the knockout of the year
award in 2009. It was at this stage where Manny Pacquiao
looked to be in his absolute prime. Manny Pacquiao, forever defying the environment
he's in, forever great. He'll go down as one of the greatest boxers
of all time. We hope you enjoyed this video, if you did
