Well, knock out Pacman. Or attack him and or hurt him really bad to win convincingly.
Pacman is the champion. In the whole history of boxing, the challenger is supposed to be the aggressor, to try to get the belt. If the challenger KO's the champ by counterpunching, that's fine, just like JMM beating Juan Diaz. But most of the time, the challenger who just waits and doesn't really hurt the champ will lose.
So even if JMM showed he hit Pacman more, they were not damaging. It's like in warfare, one side can hit a castle a lot, but if they are unable to enter it, they are still the losers.
So that's the way it is. JMM will never win, he must change his style.
Missing in this fight is Pacman's fire. Counterpunchers are his waterloo, although they won't beat him if he stays as he is.
Manny Steward is right, he knows his boxing. "You don't win championships, you take it." Maybe one can win on punches that don't hurt in the amateur league, but not in the pros.
