Adapt as in what? Pull a Philadelphia Flyer and combat conservatism with equal conservatism? j/k

I mean, yeah it sucks Manny couldn't do better than a close call (if even that) but from a viewer POV, I appreciate the athlete that was was pushing all night rather than the one who just picks his spots.

I wouldn't pay for another Marquez fight but people will still pay for Manny's. (or at least I can only assume they will)




edit:

darn, I guess I sounded a bit esoteric. to understand the Philadelphia Flyer quip, just see the video below (for non-hockey fans)
