|||THE OFFICIAL||| Prediction thread: Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao

Yeah, it's a pretty weird fight, most people picking Floyd but rooting for Pacquiao ::

 

He's the most boring champion in the history of boxing. He fights twice a year, same dates(Frist weekend in May, second weekend of September), same location(Las Vegas), same results (decision victory.)

 

Stop picking with my heart a long time ago.....just end up with a broken heart. :crying:

 

I have never cheered for either one of these guys. I have rooted against Mayweather and Pac every fight of their careers. But I'm a Pac fan tonight!

 

You were cheering for Margarito against Pac?

 

You'd have to be a deranged sociopath to do that.

 

Floyd. UD.

 

:(

 

I really think that it is possible for Pac to go in with a game-plan that can beat PBF:
It comes down to taking advantage of PBF's "economical punching", by outworking him, keeping a good distance & getting off first.

He has to pull the trigger first with the right hook, get In & out/working the angles punches in bunches (from angles). He has to then get back out FAST, regroup & repeat without falling into a predicatable rhythm.

PBF CAN be hit with that right hook from the southpaw stance. He can also (as all orthodox fighters can) be found with that sneaky STR8 left which Manny throws very well.

Trouble is, that PBF is the smarter more adaptable, more versatile fighter of the two. It's more likely that PBF will find a rhythm, & start timing Manny & landing the STR8 RH, which is a big Pacman weakness (& a big PBF strength).

Death (unfortunately) by 1000 STR8 RH's.

The other BIG advantage (that people seem to hate me pointing out), is that PBF will be significantly bigger, heavier, taller & stronger in the ring. If that advantage was the other way around, PBF would be in trouble (people hate it when I point that out too-something about aunties, uncles & testicles).

I'm praying for Manny to land a "hatton-type" shot, but unfortunately it more likely that, If anyone's getting stopped, it's Pacman.

More likely, PBF by close, but clear dec.
(none of the preceding in any way means that PBF wasn't scared & bending over backwards to avoid this fight).

 

Mayweather UD in an 8-4 type of fight.

 

I had a feeling REED would go that route.

Give REED his respect for correctly predicting the result.
