    This is how Floyd will fight Pac. Just the STYLE not the fighter. Floyd will walk him down counter with left hooks, right hand leads and control distance with the jab.
    Damn Shamba caught him with some good shots at the end of the 2nd.

      Why is that? He's nowhere near as dangerous in a neutral position or going backwards than if you try to box him and let him ride out his forward momentum where he can then string together those 4-5 punch combos.

        What I'm getting from this is that he has a hard time motivating himself to work hard in training. I guess with all the luxury around him it is difficult. That's why when you watch him hit the mitts and heavy bag. they look like piti pats shots. I guess that's what he meant when he said smarter.
        He's trying to avoid over training which is something you dont want to do as you get older. He's trying to stay sharp while keeping his body preserved. Manny did an interview with the Philippine press where he said he's going to take it easy in training to avoid over training which is something he used to do.

            He is hitting that bag with such violence he really wants to destroy it.

              That's what Manny would want, Mayweather coming forward but I doubt we'll see that. I see Mayweather on his backfoot and Manny having to chase and catch. I think Manny will be in better condition and will sooner or later catch him.

              I don't think Mayweather will be able to match Manny's footwork and punch output. I expect perpetual motion from Manny and there's just no way Mayweather could withstand it.

                  Most people who have been to Mayweathers gym and watched him train for a day are in awe of how hard he works, he's always been praised for working like the devil and training like he's poor.

                  As for training smarter rather than harder, that's to prevent over training and peaking early, burning himself out, which is something most top S&C coaches can't stress the importance of enough.

                    Meh. I'd rather see Floyd training while he and his groupies chant "hard work, dedication!"

                      Is there any word yet on what the undecard will be? From what I'm hearing it will be something like:

                      Mayweather vs Pacquiao

                      Lomachenko vs Rodriguez

                      Jleon Love or Mickey Bey vs ????
