Re watched pac vs Algeiri last night. The thing that stood out most for me was Algeiri landing 3 or 4 flush right hands nearly every round. If Algeiri is capable of landing flush straight rights on pac, you would think floyd will land at least double that per round, and with a lot more power behind them too. Pac didnt respect Chris power in the fight, hence pac just walked him down all night. I think pac will respect Floyds power a bit better once he tastes it Also pac squares up a lot on the attack after he throws the first punch or two. Re watch it...
Well unless Pac magically becomes someone else, his style and limited skill set will leave him open to the right hand as it always has.
Theres enough power to do some damage if Manny is guna keep walking onto that right hand. He walked on to a great right, no, ran onto it, against Marquez, really adding to the power. He has trouble with it and i think it will be the shot that stops him tonight. Im sure he will of trained against getting caught with it but its happened his whole career and as desperation kicks in, desperation that he isnt getting close enough or hitting Floyd enough then the mistakes will happen.
You can't suddenly develop a defensive skillset which allows you to not get hit with straight rights over the course of a 2 month training camp. Once manny gets hit the game plan goes out the window and he will fight the same fight he always does However when mayweather gets hit he has the intelligence and the focus to stay calm and think
"Pac didnt respect Chris power in the fight, hence pac just walked him down all night. I think pac will respect Floyds power a bit better once he tastes it " which is why he'll get hit by less right hands. Also, Algieri still only landed around 20% lol
Yeah I realise he didn't hit pac lots but it's the way he was able to land flush right hands on the button.
you also realize that algieri kept pivoting to his left non-stop, which took some of whatever power he has on those punches. itls different when you punch and can get away with it or expect little in return. when the return fire is much harder and they come in combos of 2-3-4 punches, it's totally a different case. if floyd wants pac'\s respect, he has to set his feet and throw as hard as he can, else it's going to be a long night for floyd.
I understand your concern. Mayweather is known for being the "counter right hand" fighter. It's his bread and butter. So, no doubt they paid special attention to it.
He won't fight him the same way. Preparation and fight plan are completely different for this fight because is just a whole different type of fight against the best fighter out there.
Also understand that for Algieri to hit Pac that many times, he got KD plenty. So to hit Pac that much you have to risk that much
