BOXING Pacquiao is beatable – Broner

That sickening sight of Manny Pacquiao slamming into Juan Manuel Marquez’s crushing counter right before lying motionless on the floor reaffirms the belief in Adrien Broner that the Filipino legend is beatable.

Make that very beatable.

“It’s proven that you don’t have to throw a lot of punches to beat Manny Pacquiao. You might only have to throw one and that mother f **** can go to sleep,” Broner told fighthype less than two weeks before he aims for Pacquiao’s World Boxing Association welterweight title on Jan. 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“That ain’t a myth, the mother f ***** has been asleep before. The most important part of fighting Manny Pacquiao is throwing the right punches at the right time,” said the 29-year-old from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Broner, the clear underdog, feels he possesses the qualities needed to duplicate what Marquez did in December 2012.

Pacquiao also suffered the same thing when he got clicked by Rustico Torrecampo more than 20 years ago when he was gaining popularity.

Unlike in the Marquez debacle when he was not moving while on the deck, the Torrecampo setback had a badly dazed Pacquiao struggling to get up.

Broner has examined Pacquiao’s record to realize he can do a reenactment of those sad chapters in his favored foe’s storied career.
