Duran said he has studied all of Pac and Void's fights. He believes that Pac will beat Void. I think Pac's speed, angles, power, pressure makes this fight very interesting. However, the judges, referee, boxing commission will all be there to help Void, or so it appears................

 

I'll go with the safe prediction Mayweather MD. I do think this will be a very close fight.

 

Win, lose or draw, I think Pac will surprise everyone in this fight. Pac is not Maidana, he has the style that bothers Void. Watch out for the judges, referee, etc................

 

Mayweather MD, but really should be a UD victory.

 

I agree. I'm of the same mindset.

 

Floyd wins by running all night and throwing two or three punches per round. It is that simple to predict.

 

omg! omg! omg! so it was true! Floyd has finally signed the contract! here weeee gooooooo.


betting on Pacquiao UD or late TKO.

 

I think Pac beats him.


A lot of the time with Floyd he's fought off the back foot and on the ropes in his last two fights.


I just think Pacquiaos pressure and punches from angles will keep catching Floyd on the ropes to the point the fight will run away from him.

Pacquiao wins the early rounds with ease and ups the pressure in the second half where others have faded.

 

Ive gone for Floyd by decision

 

There have been a few instances where Floyd had to overcome adversity in the ring. In the last ten years there's been 3 occasions where he showed his resiliency: the shot Judah nailed him with that got him off balanced, the right hand from Mosley in the second round and the right hand shot by maidana at the end of the 3rd round.

Those are the only times I remember him getting caught flush with shots that would probably knockdown most Welters. In all 3 of those situations after he got hit flush, he reset himself and it seemed like it made him even more focused. After getting hit with those shots, he wiped out those fighters for the remainder of those fights.

The one glaring issue I see in this matchup is the size and reach advantage floyd has. In the last ten years or so, he's probably only fought around 2 or 3 guys that were about his size or slightly smaller- hatton, Marquez and now manny.

It should be a helluva fight. They both still have a lot left in their tanks.

 

Great fight that will break all records and probably all the internet while it still goes on , i will be GLUED to the screen for every second of the broadcast , well worth the 100$ , ppl who say it "didnt live up to the expectations" after the fight will mostly be the loser fans or really casuals , NO WAY IN HELL i care how PAC wins this fight , boring or not , just the build up from now until the bell is enough to justify the "living up to expectations"

 

I know floyd ain't a puncher but mannys to brave for his own good after 9 or 10 frustrating rounds eating jabs and straight right hands he goes for broke and gets Caught and gets finished on his feet !

 

Interesting stats but they don't tell the full story. You don't get countered because you throw less punches. You get countered because your works gets sloppy, your head movement stops and your legs lose their spring, ie. you slow down. Pac will get countered regularly when he darts in with his 1,2 in the mid to late rounds. The overhand right from Floyd will be landing at will. I do think Manny will close the fight on top though while Mayweather runs around the ring, for his life.
