    "Because of Pacquiao's style, he will try to overwhelm Mayweather. If [Mayweather] gets through [that first rush], he will defeat him. Mayweather will have to make adjustments, make Pacquiao think before he reacts."

    "If he can, it can be like taking candy from a baby. If he can do that, make adjustments as far as distance ... Pacquiao jumps in and out. He's not Maidana or Cotto. Floyd has to produce more than he has before, in terms of punching. He's not fighting Hatton. Pacquiao can bring it all night, so Floyd's jab and counter-punching will be key. I see Floyd making the adjustments. But by no means will this be a cakewalk. Floyd can just as well lose as win. I say Floyd wins by controversial decision."
