Roach: "Pacquiao Will Knock Barrera Out"

[limecush]

Has nothing to do with Barrera not being prepared. Barrera looked excellent in the first round and a half against Pac then once Pac got going it was over. The speed was just too much, and it still is.

I dont think he's speed is a factor anymore.MAB NOW KNOWS what to except from Pac.MAB is going to outbox him all night long(if he wants to win the smart way)

Only way Pac loses this fight is if he is unfocused and doesn't train hard. It's a possibility but I don't see it happening.

Someone is going to eventually upset Pac soon though, since he keeps doing a million other things besides boxing.

“if I get Manny in shape Manny will press him and he will knock him out again.”

WOW, whats up with if? Roach dont have confidence in pac-man or what.

If Barrera wants to win, he better attack first. He's not fast enough aymore to counter Pac. He should lead with the jab, stay on the move, and throw flurries to the body when able to.

WOW, you so interpreted that in such an odd way.

Barrera is good. Still very good. He will want to box Pac. His speed and power is nothing compared to Pac so boxing is the only chance he has to win. The only reason Pac lost Morales 1 is because he tried to box Morales. He allowed Morales to control the tempo. That was his big mistake. Pac is a better brawler than a boxer. His skills are being aggressive and non-stop attacking with power. If he sticks to being aggressive, he should win this fight almost easily. If Pac is less conditioned and his stamina is down it will become a boxing chess match and we know Barrera will take it. Pac must be conditioned, control the tempo, cut off the ring and pour it on him in order for him to win.

Barrera could spoil the rythme by throwing a jab

Manny is pound for pound one of the best boxers in the world. Not only has his work ethic been praised once he steps foot in the gym, he has beaten quality opposition and has shown up for every fight. So in my opinion stamina will not be an issue. However, if he keeps flying back and forth the jetlag/ time difference will mess with him for sure. As for the one dimensional aspect, he was more one dimensional when he fought Barrera and morales the first time. He has improved so much and I have a feeling that it will be another late round stoppage. Manny has too many weapons on his side:
1) Powerful left
2) newly found and powerful right
3) The high volume of punches he throws
4) speed
5) The variety of shots he throws ( Lots of angles)
6) The team that he trains with.
7) Stamina

So much for being one dimensional.

That's seven dimensional, what about marco?

At last!!!!


Someone from boxingscene got this. + Karma

hmm...

I would say that if they box each other, pac-man catches him with a right hand in the later rounds which Barrera won't be expecting and picks up a TKO in maybe round 10. But if they brawl I see pac-man winning with a TKO in either rounds 5, 6, or 7.
