Floyd Aint No Marquez

He's on a different level than Marquez. But due to their styles (the only thing Marquez and Floyd got in common in the counterpunching) I expect a Pacquiao SD based on pure workrate and footwork

 

Im curious about how many punches May will throw by round

 

He is an ATG no doubt about it

 

It depends on how many he can land. He'll land but Pac won't be in one place for long and will be throwing constantly from all angles

 

Floyd wont have any problem at all landing punches on Manny, geez I dont think many of you ****yze the fight for real, you just make emotion based comments

 

Hey man this fight is emotional :bbb

 

Yeah but that's also because JMM is willing to risk more than Floyd. I'm thinking Floyd's lack of workrate will end up costing him the fight

 

Styles make fights

neither floyd or pac has faced a style they are about to see tonight

anything can happen

war!

 

pacquiao ain't no maidana.... KO for pac

 

Um yeah, he's clearly not Marquez considering Floyd beat the stuffing out of him for 12 rounds landing 60% of his punches while Marquez landed 12%.

 

Floyd's defense and sharp counters will keep Manny honest and slow down the pace. Roughing Manny up in the clinch will help as well.

As IB mentioned in his breakdown, employing a stiff jab will be a key also.

The jab will help contol distance and disquise the right hand.

Rounds where Floyd languishes on the ropes or gets caught in exhanges will likely go to Manny. In that sense, especially, he ain't no Marquez. Marquez routinely engages in and takes risks to deliver his power. And he does not lay on the ropes.
