    Sounds about right.

    I had pretty much told myself I was just going to bet on whoever opened as the underdog. But the more I think about it, I'm probably gonna pass, and just watch it.

        Reason why floyd is working on body punches so much this camp is if he is struggling on the outside potshot countering and finding mannys speed difficult to handle, he will try smothering manny and working inside because thats one way to neutralise speed and he is the better inside fighter than manny

          Makes sense, if true.
          How is he going to get inside if Manny is using his footwork giving Floyd lateral movement and keeping distance. Floyd would be eating a lot of lefts and right hooks trying to get in to work the body.
          If he plans to work when Pac falls in after throwing a combo, what if he doesn't over extend this fight.
          I still think his best bet is his usual fight. Slow it down, control the pace, try and counter Manny coming in.

            not long.

            his instincts is too **** too.

            but if he cuts prov, i can see him stick to boxing longer. work the cut ahd box.

              if he wants to score points or slow manny down by working the body, he will slip the straight left and throw a uppercut or shovel hook into mannys solar plexuses to wind pacman and take his breath away

                    floyd is the stronger, taller fighter , and the better inside fighter, he can walk manny down on the inside, tiring him out, and smother his speed

                    im sure plan A is to stay on outside, use reach and height advantage, keep composure,

                    but he must have plan B, C

                      do you know/heard/read if pac has been working the body in camp?

                      i want pac to throw minimum half his shots to the body.

                      a lot of punches to the chest. hit floyd in the arms/side if he turns, in the head if he ducks.

                      if pac headhunts he'll hit a lot of air.
