Comments Thread For: Photos: Pacquiao, Algieri Face Off At Macau Presser

[bojangles1987]

I'm picking Pac to win. I'm more interested in how Pac is going to approach this fight. I know he doesn't look for the KO, but does that mean he's going to just sit and box/move like he did vs Rios? Not sure if it'll be possible because Algeiri will probably look to keep distance and use his height/reach advantage.

He'll smack Algieri with the straight left, throw the occasional flurry, and win a wide decision he doesn't look very good winning, I think.

Algieri is going to make this a tough fight for the past prime/shot pacquiao. Here are the facts:

- pac is far removed from his prime/lacks that old killer instinct
- algieri is at least 5 or 6 inches taller than pac
- algieri is a slick pure boxer that isn't going to trade with pacquiao
- algieri has a great jab and much longer reach and he will use it to keep pacquiao at a distance
- algieri has great movement and pac is not known to cut off the ring very often
- I can see pac trying to lunge in with his straight lefts and combinations and algieri will just time him and counter, but he doesn't have the power to really hurt pac coming in
- pac has never fought an undefeated prime pure boxer that had a huge height and reach advantage

Therefore I expect algieri to win by a very close SD.

Close SD in Macau? I guess it's possible

Close SD in Macau? I guess it's possible

Macau doesnt equal the Philippines

Estrada beat viloria in macau.

China doesn't even like the Philippines at all.

Killer Instinct........

So we are still on this whole Manny lacks "killer instinct" kick, ey? You all are delusional if you think an ATG lacks killer instinct. Manny plans on running the table on his remaining opponents. That's not killer enough for you? How about the blazing boxing display he put on Rios? Not enough for you? How about the last six rounds against Bradley? Who was going backwards? Still not enough for you? My point is, let's give the opponents of Manny credit for the ability to take hard shots. You'll see his power in this fight because RP isn't Manny Pacquiao. Manny is faster and speed is power. He hurts everyone he tags. Lack of killer instinct. You're funny man! This will be a good fight until Manny hits CA and he starts running for the remainder of the fight. Manny is smarter than ever in the ring. CA has a height/reach advantage on paper BUT can his will and killer instinct match Manny's?

Look at the density , Algieri is a stick thats why he makes JW with ease he also has the power of a stick , the same difference is not in Cotto Martinez because Sergio was not a stick for the height , he has substance and power , you got to open your vision kid your too narrow minded in what you think you see , its all WOW to you , Algieri is not strong enough for this class its going to be like Cotto vs Rodriguez .

Wow he is a stick? well he fights at 140-147 and Sergio at 160 so who is going to be bigger?

And a stick he said he will have the weight and size on Money, he walks around at 175 pounds.

Also Cotto vs Rodriguez? are you serious when has Pacman ever blitzed someone like that above 140? please no way in hell, you are the one who needs to open your eyes, all the boxing experts have said Chris is a mover and that in itself will present big problems for Manny. You compared Delvin a come forward brawler boxer type who is slow as a snail to Algieri? two completely different styles of boxer.

Man that kid got some height on pacquiao I still think that don't matter manny will work around that long jab might take him a few rounds but PAC wins he has much more experience than Algieri and still very fast I don think he will be able to keep up with manny in the later rounds.

He doesn't fight at 147, he fights at 140.

Manny is at least honest that this guy sucks, why can't you do same?
