Mayweather vs Pacquiao Secret Weapons: Manny's Uppercut

Manny Pacquiao is known for the straight left, but his uppercut is easily one of his trickiest, most dangerous punches. Connor Ruebusch of Bad Left Hook breaks it down.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao is just days away, and we have just a few secret weapons left to break down.

Today we're taking a look at one of Manny Pacquiao's most underrated techniques: his tricky uppercut, which both sets up his left hand and punishes opponents who work hard to avoid it. Pacquiao's uppercut was key in his victory over Miguel Cotto, and its been instrumental to most of his high profile wins. There's no doubt that Floyd Mayweather will be prepared for Pacquiao's cross--but will he be ready for the uppercut? Watch the video and decide for yourself.
