Here's how I see both Floyd and Manny's attributes for this fight.
Manny:
1. Has a hell of a chin
2. Feints and fast foot work like no other
3. Needs to press the offensive while at the same time adapting and finding different ways to attack to avoid following into a readable pattern or groove
4. Has the ability to string high volume combinations using both hands effectively
5. Counter and take away Floyd's pull counter right hand
6. Be able to read Floyds reoccurring mannerisms when he throws the lead right hand and don't let him find success with it.
7. Stay smart and avoid staying in the pocket to long after attacking (which he tends to do a lot whilst having his hands down). Basically stay sharp and avoid ending exchanges off balance.
8. Use the left hand and rip shots at every given chance
9. Should have the mentality that he is trying to KTFO Floyd
Floyd
1. Has a good chin and has good placement keeping his chin relatively safe consistently
2. Control distance and keep the fight in the middle of the ring
3. Look for re-occurring patterns of attack by Manny and mount an attack
4. By all means control the pace and adjust rhythm accordingly (which he has always been proficient at)
5. Control Manny with the left hand to set up shots and thwart his attack
6. Remain being the fresher fighter in the ring and conserve energy
7. Don't stand still
8. Don't over commit and if he were to try and stop him wait until the later rounds.
