WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao averaged 23.8 thrown/68.9 landed in his ten fights spanning De La Hoya through Rios. He landed 19.5 power shots per round during that run, landing 47.2%.
But as he's aged, Pacquiao's pace has plummeted. In the five fights since he's produced 55.8 vs. Chris Algieri, 35.8 against Floyd Mayweather, 36.6 versus Timothy Bradley in their third fight & 46.9 in their rematch and a painfully low 34 in regaining the WBO title from Jessie Vargas.
Thus, Pacquiao has averaged 41.8 in his last five, including just 35.4 in his last three. That said, Pacquiao has compensated with power accuracy, landing 42.3%. Undefeated Jeff Horn, making a huge step up in class, is busy (60.5 per round), but will he carry that aggression vs. Pacquiao once he samples Manny's power & speed?
Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, boxing's only eight-division world champion and the only sitting Senator to capture a world championship belt, will add another first to his burgeoning list of Hall of Fame-caliber accomplishments with his live debut on ESPN and ESPN Deportes (also streaming live on the ESPN app) on Saturday, July 1 at 10:00 p.m. ET.
The fight will be called ringside by ESPN commentators Joe Tessitore and Teddy Atlas.
They will be joined by guest analyst Timothy Bradley, Jr., a former two-division world champion recently trained by Teddy Atlas who has met Pacquiao three times in the ring, winning their first match in a decision. ESPN Deportes will pair Jorge Eduardo Sanchez and Juan Manuel Márquez to call the main event in Spanish, with prefight commentary from Pablo Viruega, Leopoldo Gonzalez, Claudia Trejos and Juan Manuel Márquez.
Pacquiao, the Boxing Writers Association of America's reigning Fighter of the Decade, will defend his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight crown against undefeated No. 1 contender and Brisbane's favorite son Jeff "The Hornet" Horn at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia.
This will be the first time Pacquiao has not fought on pay-per-view since Sept. 10, 2005, when he stopped Hector Velazquez in the sixth round -- 12 years and four weight divisions ago.
The July 1 telecast will also feature Irish Olympic hero Michael Conlan (2-0, 2 KOs), from Belfast, in a six-round featherweight bout against Jarrett "Juarez" Owen (5-4-3, 2 KOs), of Brisbane, and International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior bantamweight world champion Jerwin "Pretty Boy" Ancajas (24-1-1, 16 KOs), of Cavite City, Philippines, defending his title against top-rated contender Teiru Kinoshita (25-1-1, 8 KOs), of Kobe, Japan. The live telecast will open with an eight-round middleweight rumble between Shane Mosley, Jr. (10-1, 7 KOs), of Pomona, Calif. and son of former three-division world champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley, and David Toussaint (10-0, 8 KOs), of Canberra, Australia.
