Forget the title of the video:
After watching this fight I began to realize that Pacquiao is not that easy to hit as I thought; in the slowmotion a lot of punches didn´t land cleanly due to his head movement-distance and arm positioning; I only noticed this in slowmo because when I watched the fight I thought that a lot more punches landed (effectively) which they didn´t when I watched it in slowmotion
Made me better understand that subtle small movements are enough ; because I always thought movements have to be big so that the boxer is waaaay out of the line of fire, for example the way tyson slips punches has more range of motion and is a different position than the normal way of slipping but its does not have to be a big exagerated movement to be effective
look at Sonny Liston
his head movements are very small but the opponent struggles to range find him and time him
through the usage of posture (chin down) Demspey rarely gets hit cleanly;
Cus D´Amato also commented on this when he watched a Tape with Mike Tyson on Bennie Briscoe
