Harrison: Mayweather's Jab Will Cause Issues For Manny

By Edward Chaykovsky

Undefeated junior middleweight contender Tony Harrison (20-0, 17KOs) is starting to make noise in his division. In his four recent fights, Harrison crushed Antwone Smith, Tyrone Brunson, Bronco McKart and Grady Brewer.

Harrison gave his thoughts on the welterweight mega-fight taking place on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.  

He's picking Mayweather to win the fight. While Mayweather may have some trouble with Pacquiao's southpaw style, Harrison says Floyd will eventually figure Pacquiao out and use the jab to seal the win.

"He’s taking it a little more serious and I just think he’s overcame every southpaw he’s ever had — although he had problems with them. He adapted and he overcame each and every one of them. I expect a good fight but I expect ‘Money May’ to outthink him and with a good jab, with ‘Money May’ having such a great jab and being so accurate with it, I think Pacquiao is going to have problems with that," Harrison told On The Ropes Boxing Radio .

"I got to go with ‘Money May’ and I can tell that he’s taking this a little more seriously this time because there’s no twitter action, there’s not a lot of Twitter action not a lot of Instagram action. There’s not a lot of flying out, there’s not a lot of women shaking their ass on his phone or him getting washed up by women. It’s him running and him chopping in the wood, him in the gym."
