A lot to work on, but at least he took the challenge against at top ranked contender. He does seem to have a good team to go back to the drawing board and helping him with adjustments. 36 rounds of experience with Nelson, McCumby and Sadjo from this year will help him, even if they were lackluster performances.
Now is time to fight some more experienced fighters like Munguia, Sheeraz, Ivanov or Shishkin. Sink or Swim time, if he fails, the worst it can happen is that he has to start again.
From what I’ve watched of his career, this was Pacheco’s first genuinely difficult night at the office. Some of that is down to Sadjo’s pressure and compact frame, and the rest is Pacheco not being able to fight in a strategically advantageous way. I’m not sure if his conditioning was off from his training camp, or the game-plan + Sadjo’s pressure zapped his energy, but Pacheco looked lethargic and it seemed like he was already in “battery-saver” mode early on. If Pacheco had no infighting ability, I think he would’ve lost last night.
For people who are doom and gloom about Pacheco, remember that he’s a relatively young contender at 24. I think he’ll be fine. Now he’s in a position for a title shot, and hopefully we’ll see Pacheco vs. Sheeraz/Mbilli before year’s end.

All of these social media is exactly that, an outlet from an opinion one way or another. You can include yourself in it.
Opinion is okay (I don’t use social media) but I’m talking about these persistently negative posters who seem to have a ubiquitous presence here.

Looks like someone’s having a back to back post meltdown. What percentage of this forum do you think uses it as an outlet for their anger issues and mental illness?
