In this video we break down why the 2-1 (rear hand into lead hand) was so hard to defend, how Pacquiao used footwork to generate surprise and power, and why even elite fighters struggled to read it. We look at how Pacquiao sets traps, uses rhythm, changes levels, and blitzes with pendulum-style footwork to close distance instantly. From Chris Algieri to Miguel Cotto, this combination created openings Pacquiao could consistently exploit. We also examine the risks of the technique, including how Juan Manuel Marquez timed Pacquiao mid-attack. If you want to improve your boxing, understand high-level southpaw tactics, or learn how elite fighters break the rules to create explosive offence—this breakdown will help you understand the mechanics behind one of Pacquiao’s signature weapons. #prostriking #freddieroach #pacquiao #wildcard #toprank #boxing #mannypacquiao #pacman Footage rights provided by WSC Sports - https://tinyurl.com/prostriking
