Manny looked nervous at the weigh-in. Your thoughts?

Before the staredown, Manny is pointing to his shirt, front and back, even when Floyd is calling him he's flexing to show his back. Once again it's the adrenalin making his body move. It's a natural instinct to move when you have an adrenalin rush, it's how we have evolved to survive from the predators in the past, but in boxing you learn to control that adrenalin because it does waste a lot of energy, and at the moment I don't believe Manny is in control of that adrenalin as good as Floyd. It doesn't mean Manny will lose, it just means he's wasting energy that he needs before the fight.

 

I'm not saying Manny is scared. That's where people get it wrong, they think nerves as just fear, it's not. Nerves is adrenalin. Both guys will be nervous, both guys will have adrenalin, that's normal, but at the moment one guy seems more control of that adrenalin than the other. On the night it might not matter, but Manny needs to be in more control because if he carries on he's going to feel like he's done 10 rounds before he's done one round.

 

Manny is nervous for that s****own aswell. All fighters are nervous, it's part of how we have evolved as humans, but Manny is much more control of his nerves at that s****own. It's not the smiles I'm talking about, it's the movement. Look at the s****own, Manny is standing still, posting still with a fist, he's much more control. At the Floyd staredown, he's moving his legs, he's moving his body, that's the adrenalin doing that. I just feel Floyd is more in control with the adrenalin than Pacquiao is at the moment. Obviously in the fight it doesn't mean nothing because Pacquiao can catch Floyd and the fight could be over, but what it does mean is that Pacquiao is wasting energy before the fight has even begun.

 

I know what adrenalin does to the human mind, it makes you move more because you have to run at any moment, that's how we have evolved, but as boxers, you learn to control that adrenalin so it doesn't waste energy before the fight. Like you said during the fight it doesn't mean nothing on occasions, but it does mean Manny might feel like he's done 10 rounds before he's done even one round. That's what nerves, adrenalin does if you don't have total control of it.
