"Sugar" Shane Mosley, speaking to ABS-CBN’s Dyan Castillejo, is predicting a knockout in his upcoming fight against Manny Pacquiao on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Because of their styles, Mosley doesn't see the fight being able to last the full distance.

"I respect Manny, a true warrior. [He] gives 100%,” Mosley said.  “It’s going to be a real test of the mind,” said Mosley. “With the way we both fight, it will surely end in a knockout. Manny has speed and power, I have speed and power."

Mosley expects fireworks early with both boxers trying to gain an early lead. The 39-year-old veteran wants to prove the critics wrong. He's not pleased with the continued comments that he's a washed up fighter.

“This will not be my last fight,” said Mosley. “I want to prove to people I still have it. It’s going to be a war, ‘cause styles make fights. It’s going to be really exciting fight."
