December 15, 200916 yr Diego tried to stand with him and got rocked badly within the first minute or two. I'm sure that changed his game plan a bit. It was going to take a stroke of luck for him to win the fight anywhere...I just think Lady Luck is more likely to strike in the form of a lucky punch than anything else. Had he got the fight to the ground, he'd have been just as overwhelmed there as well, IMO.

I can see why you would change your game plan after almost getting your head knocked off by BJ Penn.

December 16, 200916 yr I don't know that he was emulating his style or not. He did say that he liked watching Pacman fight because he throws punches in bunches. http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_ylt=Ak4QeUYKPoyhOxyIvp6W3lU9Eo14?slug=ki-penn121309&prov=yhoo&type=lgns Penn watched the Nov. 14 boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto while he was in his training camp and decided to try to emulate Pacquiao’s style on Saturday. "I just like watching Pacquiao and how he throws punches in bunches,” Penn said. “He’s so fast. You might get away from the first two or three, but the two or three that come behind that are going to hit you. I kind of figured that out.”
