Penetrating the mythical defense of Floyd Mayweather Jr. is no easy task, but Philippine Daily Inquirer’s Sports Columnist Recah Trinidad believes that’s the only way Manny Pacquiao has to go.
Talking to Radyo Inquirer on Friday, Trinidad said Pacquiao has to land one good shot at Mayweather.
Trinidad also said that Pacquiao’s defense is not up to par with Mayweather’s.
“Manny is very good, but I have to say it straight, his defense is deficient,” Trinidad said.
Trinidad hopes that Pacquiao should have prepared a great defensive game plan considering that the WBO Welterweight Champion has been knocked out three times, the last was the most vicious.
Pacquiao’s last knock out loss was at the right hand of Juan Manuel Marquez who floored him in 2012 in their fourth fight.
“They must remember that during the Marquez fight he got hit with the right,” Trinidad said.
Pacquiao is an offensive-minded southpaw while Mayweather is a defensive orthodox.
