I'm very surprised nobodies done a thread for this yet, considering its getting billed as the fight of the century!! Who's everybody's tip?? Im going for a Manny points victory.
I'll go along with that. I don't think either have the punching power for a knockout and just feel that Manny has a game plan to frustrate and spoil Mayweather.
Heart: Pac man Head: Mayweather If there's a ko it will be a Pacquio win if it goes to points I don't think anything on this earth would change it from a Mayweather win in Vegas
I'd have said quite the reverse. Manny has more than enough power in his to knock anyone out.That said he could wear himself out and walk onto one of Floyd's counters and find himself on his back. Mayweather will frustrate and spoil on the backfoot as he has his whole career. Duck and counter. Manny will come forward and be positive while trying to fight as he has his whole career. Manny knockout or Floyd on points. Hoping for a Manny win.
Mayweather's too good to lose? I'd like to see Pacq give him a new view of life though, looking up at the ceiling.
Anyone paying for it? I cant bring myself to do it. Probably fall asleep anyway. Really want a manny win.
Apart from Marquez who he KO'd in 2012, Manny hasn't had a clean KO since 2009. Mayweather has a solid chin and it'll take a clean solid shot to put him down. My gut reaction is that they will cancel each other out and it'll go to points. That said, I hope to **** I'm wrong and Manny puts him on his arse in round 7. I wouldn't want this one to end too early.
They probably won't get ring-side till about 4 in the morning over here. Too late to stay up for, too early to get up for.
that means 6am start here. i ain't paying 50 euros for it, esp if i have to get a taxi to the airport halfway through the bout.
I reckon it's gonna be an anti climax, lots of shifting and moving and not enough punches landed. Floyd is the Mourinho of the boxing world, I have absolutely no doubt he will get the job done. Pacquiao wants the brawl too much, Floyd won't walk into a brawl, so it's a points win if necessary or a carefully picked K.O probably round 7-9 where Pacman is behind on points and taking the decision to change his tactics.
I'm going out with a load of mates on the lash at 7pm, then back to one of the lads houses to watch the fight. Can't wait!! I'm much more excited for this fight though:-
Haha. I'm worried about my chances of staying up aswell, especially as I have to get up with my lads in the morn to make up for being out all night.
