    Floyd is vastly superior to Guerrero at any range, but he won't have to exert himself as hard if he beats Guerrero up at longer distances.

    If you recall the Hatton fight, Floyd said Hatton was the "hardest" fight of his career thus far despite Hatton winning only 1 round. What did Hatton do? He got inside and tried to maul Floyd. It took a lot of energy for Floyd to manhandle him

    Good post. I also think Floyd will be using that left hook in this fight. I notice Robert throws that left to the body and leaves that right hand down a bit and that left hook will make him pay and if I can see I am sure Sr or Roger have seen it. I do think Floyd is going to **** RG up when it does come to infighting and that Philly Shell is going to work wonders on the inside and Floyd will be shooting body shots like crazy.

    Yep. I see him using it to the head at a distance. Then downstairs on the inside.

    Floyd has been practicing all his bodyshots for this fight. You could see the straight right to the body also.

    Guerrero will get stopped because his body will be broken down, and he gets hit too much

    I think he will come forward at some point. It would be interesting to see Sr. ask for more movement and Jr. opt for more aggression, there might be an argument in the corner. But then again it might not get to that point. Guerrero isn't a master pressure fighter and Salido showed movement that had Robert looking inaccurate.

    Sr is a master of teaching defense. I can admit I hated the move at first since unca Roger had been with him for so long. But this version of PBF got back to his roots and fighting back with this style he will be even harder to beat.
