If Mayweather tried that come forward approach against Pac like he did against SSM...

floyd will play counterpunching all night and wins a UD or split. pac may ko him or may also win a ud or split. damn, i cant wait for the fight to get signed.

 

I think manny should go all out for speed. Firstly you have to beat mayweather's reflexes. Im not talking about the castillo floyd im talking about the guy at 147. Once he overcomes his reflexes the playing field is much more even and pacquiao can land a greater amount of punches as mayweathers defence becomes more orthodox.

 

Speed isn't going to trumph Mayweather superb ability to time an opponent. Manny is still a raw fighter who is wide open for counters and can be touched at will, if Cotto and Clottey could land on Manny any time they chose what makes people think Floyd won't land on him and control distance with the jab and make Manny try to lunge in and catch him?

Floyd can beat Manny by laying back and setting traps or he could beat him by walking him down and countering him when he tries to open up. Manny isn't in the same class as Floyd.

 

I feel the same way.

 

I see lots of ineffective aggression from emmanuel that will bank him a round or two strictly because of work rate, and because he'll look moar flashy since Void focuses on breaking down the body with southpaws in the first few rounds.

The angle advantages of a southpaw are gone on the inside. emmanuel can't fight on the inside for ****, so Void will take advantage of that. Look for how Void will press his left shoulder in his shoulder roll guard against emmanuel's chest as pac is squared up, and watch for his right uppercut hitting manny's liver or solar plexus.

Void will be Relentless towards that liver. Lead right, left hook to the liver, and left hook upstairs. Jab, right hook to the body, left hook to the liver, and straight right hand.

Emmanuel will tire from all the wasted energy and wisely placed body shots of Void. After Void poisons him, Void will begin to turn up the aggression.

Emmanuel is a sucker for uppercuts, and Void loves to throw a left upper to block his opponent's vision of the incoming right hand.

Void will be able to counter emmanuel's jab with a left hook over the top after he's done measuring distance.

Manny comes in off balance doing his lead lunging left cross often where he's only grounded by his right tippy toe. This can be countered by anything.

Void DOES shoulder roll against southpaws when the time is right as it negates their right hand.

Lastly, pay attention to Void's jabbing. He'll use all variety of jabs.

Manny is a sucker for straight punches and lead uppercuts.

Late stoppage for Floyd. His hatred of manny combined with emmanuel's recklessness is a recipe for emmanuel getting knocked out.

 

Floyd will have no problems walking down Manny imo ..

 

Floyd won't be dumb enough to try that **** with Manny. Floyd is smart...he's been reluctant to take the fight for obvious reasons that are tied to the risk Manny presents as a fighter who is on his level. IF.....and that's a BIG IF, the fight does happen it will have Floyd fighting a very controled and cautious fight where he doesn't take any unnessesary risks on his own....the RISKS that he'll take will be FORCED by Manny where Floyd has no choice but to trade. Floyd could definitely win...make no mistake about it. But based on the way things have played out I see signs of Floyd that I'm not use to seeing. He's very concerned and has plenty of reservations before signing on that dotted line. He's coming up with obstacles that are delaying the fight and ultimately could be the nail in the coffin.

 

Im in the process of reveiwing some of floyds earlier fights. Guys like hernandez walked right through whatever floyd had, and this is when he was throwing combos. Makes me think that both floyd and pac have faced better p4p challenges at those lower weights.
