Jeremy Pacatiw talks Demetrious Johnson vs. Adriano Moraes 3
Jeremy Pacatiw is a skilled and high-ranked fighter in ONE Championship. Over his 17 professional bouts, 'The Juggernaut' has certainly learned a thing or two about combat sports.
During the same interview, the Filipino athlete offered his take on the latest installment of Demetrious Johnson vs. Adriano Moraes. He said:
“Maybe Moraes should avoid getting controlled so he can throw his shots whenever they’re on the ground. Then yeah, find a way to stop the pressure that Demetrious is giving.”
However, the skill of 'Mighty Mouse' may still prove too much for the former flyweight king. Pacatiw continued:
"DJ was also in full guard but he was the one dealing the damage. But just shows how good DJ is because he was able to control Moraes’ hand that prevented him from throwing those heavy shots from the top.”
