for MAB this coming Saturday night?:yep I am leaning more on the TKO side. Probably on the 2nd or 3rd round. I would be shocked if he gets KO cold, btw.
Neither. It seems to me that Pacquiao is distracted, living the life of superstar in the Philippines - while Barrera seems focused, prepared and hungry. While he's past his best, this will be enough to overcome that and beat what looks to be an overconfident and under-prepared Pac. :yep
Barrera has an average to above average chin - not granite, certainly, but not particularly shaky either. I doubt anything that will happen in this fight will change that ranking much. Barrera might hit the canvas along the way, but he might just have Pac tasting canvas too. The big questions here, imo, is how much Barrera has left, and how focused and prepared Pac is. If Pac is more focused than I think he is, he will probably win. But it doesn't seem like he is. That fiasco training camp in the Philippines would greatly concern me if I were a Pac supporter.
MAB has got to get out the first 3 rounds fairly unhurt.....maybe one flash knockdown max. Then start working his right hand and "blind side" left hook to slow Pacman down and hope to win a decision. But if he gets blitzed in the first couple of rounds, a TKO by Pacman in 4 will probably occur.
Don't believe anything on the papers.. If anything, MAB should be concerned that Pac lost in election because, right now, as in right now, he is hell bent to put an apostrophe to MAB's career. There is no ounce of doubt that MAB will be toyed once more and have his chin permamently damaged by Pac's all-out assault.:bbb Never been so sure of an outcome like this one.
Best bet, it will be an early TKO, like you said, maybe the second or the third . MAB knows he can't hang around for a decision in 12, so he'll just go all out early while he's still fresh. (EM-Pac III)
:bbb MAB wins with several KDs and finally he knock PAC out cold in the second part of the first round :tong
