SA resulta ng mga laban sa Las Vegas, Nevada kamakalawa na nakalusot ang mga foul tactics nina WBA, IBF at WBO light heavyweight champion Andre Ward at WBA super bantamweight titlist Guillermo Rigondeaux, nag-isip ng mga taktika si trainer Glenn Rushton kung paano matatalo ng alaga niyang si Jeff Horn si WBO welterweight ruler Manny Pacquiao.
“Jeff Horn and trainer Glenn Rushton spent the weekend studying weaknesses in Manny Pacquiao’s defense and have devised a 10-point blueprint they hope will cause one of boxing’s biggest upsets at Suncorp Stadium on July 2,” ayon kay Grantlee Kieza sa inilathalang artikulo sa CourierMail.com.
Hindi inamin ni Rushton kung kabilang sa taktika ang low blows, rabbit punch at pagsuntok makaraan ang bell na ginamit nina Ward at Rigondeaux para manatiling kampeon.
“Rushton and Horn spent a large part of Saturday discussing the finer points of their strategy while watching Pacquiao’s most recent fights,” aniya.
Kasalukuyang nagsasanay si Horn sa tulong ng dating sparring partner ni Pacquiao na tubong Bohol na si WBA No. 4 super lightweight Czar Amonsot.
“It’s no good trying to rush Manny trying knock his head off. Jeff has to wait for his chance,” ani Rushton. “We have devised a 10-point plan and if Jeff follows it we will hear the words ‘and new world welterweight champion’ on July 2. Jeff is super fit. His pulse is 47 - exactly where we want it to be.’’
