Even the greatest military generals, Patton, Eisenhower and Rommel-sometimes poachers foiled a plan of battle.
Millions of fans of Manny Pacquiao is now wondering if the Pinoy Idol and his trainer Freddie Roach led the team has committed an error of weight in preparation for Saturday night WBC super welterweight fight at Cowboys Stadium.
Pacman came in a surprisingly light 5.6 pounds 144.6 pounds or less than the agreed weight limit contract that he and Antonio Margarito accepted. While everyone knew the old smaller but much faster for Pacquiao, 31 and 32 back on Dec. 18, could be less than 150 do not think anyone outside the inner circle knew Manny was going to step on scales less than 145.
Margarito went right to the limit, the check-in at a total of 150 pounds.
"I do not know what to think of it," observed New York coach and former world champion Joey Gamache just told me by phone. "If I'm with Pacman, I would have liked to come in a few pounds heavier than him."
Speaking to Ines Sainz Mexican television journalist, Margarito said he planned to return to the Gaylord Texan Hotel stuff himself with food, healthy food albeity to rest and relax the night of the fight. Margarito said he thought he enters the ring Saturday night to about 160, although speculation has him going as heavy as 164 pounds.
Asked about Manny's feet and hand speed advantage compared to its size and reach advantage, Margarito was placid.
"I have", the 32 years of Tijuana, said, "the power to punch him.'m In great shape, everything I do now is wait, relax and concentrate."
Pacquiao seemed unconcerned by his "lightness of being terrible," saying, "That's all I can do. I'm trying to win, but we have focused on speed. I think the speed will be the important factor in the struggle."
If Pacquiao was upset about being so light, showing no sign.
But that's Manny. Is left in a panic, causing panic but never panics.
You know the saying of teeshirts, Manny KNOW.
Manny is going to be too light to dominate Margarito and win over 12 rounds, I do not see it. I see it as Pacman UD 12 with the turtle as Margarito taking a real beating in the last six minutes.
Pacquiao, too light to fight?
Probably not, but you can bet it will stir pacland Panic stadium ticket sales and purchase worldwide TV PPV.
Drama King Bob Arum is not going to panic because he loves this kind of elixir especially in a fight where the bookies set Pacman as a choice of 6 ½ to 1 bets.
