Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[CANELOLUJAH]

sounds like the sparring partners weren't testing Floyd enough?

it happens, just get some news ones no biggie. You never know if you gonna get what you want out of the sparring partners till its go time. If they dont work out just get some new ones.

pacquiao isn't flatfooted enough for that to be a strategy, he hasn't fought like he did in the first morales fight, since the first morales fight, he was alot more aggressive oriented and didn't know how to fight backing up, in morales 2 you see a more modern pacquiao, although at a lower lever, if floyd is looking for the inside he's better off walking to pacquiao till he eventually gets on the inside on a pacquiao taking a breather

what's more likely to happen if floyd falls in with right hands

Night and day bro. Other than having short ass arms, Algeri's right hand was telegraphed and he didn't even try to smother and wrap up after he missed. I concede that Floyd and Morales aren't all that similar either but where I was getting at more was how Pac reacts when he's smothered and being pushed backwards. I can see Floyd's right hand landing at will especially if Pacquiao continues to use that lazy jab.

@ you thinking Mayweather goes retreat mode after falling in

That was also an ugly illustration because Mayweather doesn't jab from that close against southpaws, and he leads with the right hand when he looks to lean in. When he leans in he looks to stay in there in an attempt to mount another attack.

Oscar said pacquaio wants to win more

Disagree

If I had to say who wanted to win more, I honestly would say Floyd by the narrowest of margins

And that's why this fight will be exciting in the second half of the fight

And that action will be enough to have people calling for a second fight regardless of who wins the decision

[Build That Wall]

Floyds arms already look like they are fight ready. They are only going to get bigger until fight night. KEEP CHOPPING THAT WOOD CHAMP!!!

There's Floyd fans on twitter also saying Floyd will walk PAC down as he is the bigger and stronger guy

There's a lot of Floyd fans thinking this

And I go by the saying that the majority opinion is usually the correct one

At the moment I don't see that happening until Floyd is down on the cards and him and his corner sense the urgency to win rounds - this will happen in second half of fight

But if so many people think he will start this early on ...
I guess the reasoning would be that he may look to slow PAC down with body shots. I remember Bradley landing body shots in their fights . And Tmt did an interview saying he's looking for body shots.

Both guys have a good feel for what's going on in their fights.
If it's a close fight heading into rounds 7-8... I expect some good action and more risk taking.

Against Judah he missed with the straight right hand but was still in position to follow up and land a vicious shot to the body.

Yep, that's usually how it goes, he'll lean in looking to mount another attack.
