Pac can win this with his herky jerky style.... picking Pryor by early KO is a fool's bet looking to take away from Pac. I do favour Pryor, not sure in a late stoppage though or in a tough clear decision.
None the less this fight woudl defintely be a victory for the fans. I see a possible rubber match or trilogy happening here.
Two offensive machines who were at times available to get hit. I think Pryor's offense was more versatile. He could fight both inside and outside. At a distance, it is close to a stalemate but when Pryor is able to close the distance, he gets the better of Manny.
Pryor just too wild, and Pac too quick and mobile. Straight left out of impossible angle drops him. But he does make 12, only to lose a 116-111 dec.
And anyone picking Pryor have to visualize him dealing with the insane speed, power and relentless work rate. Manny wins imho. Pryor is a live dog though.
Can't confidently pick a winner, Pryor is my favourite fighter but he was very open at times and he never faced an elite southpaw. Pacman has faced basically every style.
i would have to go with pryor. pryor would match mannys pace and output and has more variety and accuracy. manny would be blitzed, pound his gloves and wave him in, and get swarmed again. pryor took plenty of picture perfect shots from alexis and stayed on his feet so i dont think pac can stop him with 1, and in the exchanges i favor pryors punching variety at any distance.
