I see Manny starting fast early, giving problems to Floyd with his stance, angles, combos and speed. He'll get some rounds with that one. By round 4-6, Floyd is already accustomed with Manny's style, able to make adjustments, and was able to neutralize Pac's offense and just pick his shots and counter him. By late rounds, Manny and Freddie, knowing that they're already behind the scorecards, will be desperate in outworking Floyd. In here, Manny will throw more punches and chase Floyd in his backfoot but Floyd still able to counter him with good shots but Manny will probably get a round or two late but still not enough to get the win. Floyd Mayweather wins by UD 115-113. But I hope Manny wins though. Pacquiao all day, man. But personally, I want Floyd to experience a loss. I want too see him humbled. I want to see how Floyd handles in that type of situation. But I really think that no one can beat him right now. He is just too smart, too savvy and too skilled for Manny.
Yeah sorta agree, Manny starts fast but Floyd finds his feet and his timing and counters an over eager Pacquiao. Though i predict a stoppage. If Manny keeps walking on to things then Floyds guna put more power in his counters. If Marquez can walk him onto a counter and make him sleep im sure Floyd can do the same. And also like you i hope im wrong. I want to see Floyd knocked out big time. Would be sweet.
Good post.It is a realistic scenario. :good I agree that this will be a close fight and a decision. It will all depend whether the judges like Pac flurries or Floyd's accurate singles shots. I have a feeling Pac can outhustle Floyd down the stretch.
This is how it could look if Roach isn't with Pac, or Pac is not able to apply their gameplan, or will not listen to Roach adjustments during the fight. Roach's wisdom is crucial in turning a razor thin decision to Pacs favor.
Well, we saw Floyd's sparring video. He was actually working on the KO punch JMM landed on Pac , and also that overhand right where Manny was KD. Yeah but I wont be surprised though if Manny pulls this one. Yeah, I believe its gonna be a close fight. Both fighters will bring their A+ game in this fight. They will give it all. We'll see who''ll execute their gameplan successfully. Roach is vital on Manny's side. He's more like a puppet on what Roach commands but Floyd adjusts by himself. He can adjust in the middle of the round. I know he has some tricks up in his sleeve in what Manny has to offer.
It could definitely play out that way. I see it with Floyd coming out to pressure him in round one and Manny being extremely cautious (though going wild with a flurry once or twice). Floyd shoots the right hand over and over like he does against every southpaw. Rounds 2-5 Manny starts countering Floyd's right and Floyd begins throwing it less frequently. Rounds 6-9 Floyd starts looking for the left hook. He works on baiting Pacquiao's left with feints and countering with the left hook. Manny spends a lot of time getting swatted aside and having to reset. Rounds 10-12 Manny goes all out with the volume and Floyd attempts to work him up close. These rounds will be swing rounds (as will a lot of the others). Fight ends in a MD/SD for either fighter, or possibly a draw. There will be 8 swing rounds on the cards. Both fighters will go down once. That's how I'm seeing it right now lol. Tomorrow morning I'll have another idea.
"i think mayweather will win but i hope manny wins" is a cop out. stick to your choice and make a case. no need to get emotional. have you seen floyd countered a southpaw?
the big mystery really here is floyd. pac is almost a given. he will come aggressive and throw a lot of punches, from weird angles. it up to floyd to adapt (if there is someone who can adapt, that's him). floyd can try jump the gun, surprise pac and take him out early, similar to a marquez4. he can try but i dont think he will. or he can try a more measured approach but aggressive and walk pac down on a high guard like the judah fight, which is his normal approach against southpaws. but this favors pac where he doesnt have to chase his opponents. i dont think floyd will employ this tactic not until he can sense pac is tired anyway. or he can lead with his rights and move like int he guerrero fight. but pac isnt as slow like guerrero, still a dangerous tactic. or he can circle to his left and take pac's straight left and box pac, ala mosley or even bradley. the downside to this is he is going to **** up his own offense esp since it's damn hard to jab a southpaw. also he will lose leverage on his right hand if he keeps pivoting. my take is he is going stick and move for the first few rounds, and try to box in the middle rounds and circling to his left. at some point he will be forced into exchanges in the last few rounds of the fight because the preceeding rounds were close and too damn hard to score. both would want convincing rounds in 2nd half of the fight. and i believe floyd cant move for 12rds. i think pac will win the exchanges. im sticking to an 8-4 type of decision win for pac. floyd by ko??? this is more like a wishful thinking than an actual prediction. well anything can happen so there is always a possibility no matter how highly improbable it may appear to be. just saying, if floyd is serious of koing pac, then he must have seriously trained for it. must have ****ed up his brittle hands then before he even gets to the middle of training camp.
I actually think that Floyd will be very aggressive in the early rounds and try to punish Pac with every miss he makes. Floyd wins by 9th round TKO. Floyd will say that Pac was not the hardest fight he had but nevertheless he was a great fighter. Pac will say sorry to all his fans around the world during the post fight interview then retires.
