Comments Thread For: Roach: We Have To Dominate Mayweather in Round One

[SUBZER0ED]

I have been watching Manny fights all week and boy howdy does he jump on your neck from the first round on. Guy is like a blaze of fire. Floyd will have to be prepared for that.

"boy howdy"? Well golly, gosh and gee willikers!

Good to hear. Floyd is a defensive master but if Pac is smart he could have some big moments early. In a close fight the busier fighter is almost always rewarded. It seems Roach saw the success that ODL had early and is going for that style for the more relentless Pacquiao. It will be interesting to see how Floyd adjusts. He usually neutralizes guys that have that mindset but Pac is a different breed.

He treated Algieri and Bradley like target practice,and they're just as mobile as floyd ,so he should have no problem keeping up with mayweathers pace. I actually disagree with the idea that Manny should bumrush Floyd at the beginning. His best bet is from round 8 onwards,where Floyd just gets on his bike and tries to cruise. He should get him used to a certain amount of speed and pressure,and when Floyd least expects it,Pacquiao unleashes hell. As for Floyd knocking Pacquiao out,or making him gun shy,I'm willing to bet anything that Pacquiao will walk through anything that Floyd will throw at him.

Algieri yes. He certainly didn't treat Bradley like "target practice".

If Floyd is smart which I know he is in the ring he would incorporate a similar game plan like Marquez did in the 4th fight with less risks. Marquez really set Pacquiao up by going to the body, getting Manny to drop his hands and then going up top. It was beautifully executed by JMM. Pacquiao is an offensive monster but mostly to slow, come forward guys. Manny speed is only dominate to fighters coming forward trying to pressure him with no defense. That's why Manny can move to the side and throw his punches in bunches because fighters are so in love with trying to land a big punch on him. Floyd is probably going to throw jabs to the body and go up top. Manny swings wild leaving his head exposed. All Floyd has to do is use all of his advantages and don't fight small. Use his height, Reach, slip/block punches and counter. Manny is going to go in with an offensive only mind set to try to overwhelm Mayweather and that is going to play right into Floyd's pros.

if Floyd comes in the fight PEDs up to bone, Manny gets KOed again, nice game plan

I have to say: I'm blown and disappointed that people keep acting like Floyd has enough pop to keep Manny off him. All this talk about Floyd's right and Manny not being able to handle a right is nonsense. Floyd doesn't have the power to keep Manny off of him. Before Marquez knocked out Manny we all knew Manny had great whiskers. But since Marquez now he's damaged goods? I don't think so. Rios, Bradley, and Algieri have all stopped guys more recently than May. (I don't necessairly believe that is some sort of logic, but with the way logic around here--it's worth mentioning)

What I'm saying is: I'm super suprised that a lot of you guys think May can hold off and manage Mannys power.

I normally think Manny fans are the dumbest fans in sports, but you May fans are giving them a run for their money

Pac and Roach are the best fighter and trainer we have today, don't worry guys they will get it done somehow. Theyre just trolling everyone and having fun..lol

Come on man.... Bradley wobbled Pacquiao with a right in the 2nd fight. Manny leg almost went out from under him.

I also put blame on Roach for not telling Manny to be cautious in the 4th fight Because Marquez was Working w a PEDs expert, (or for not realizing that Marquez is on PEDs under Memo)

Trainers are overrated i tell you. But gets too much credit.

Most are just good confidants to their fighters.

I'm not sure why Freddie is giving away part of Pac's strategy. Stop talking, Roach! Manny said you guys weren't going to give away any strategy, and here you go, running your mouth.

Really wish Roach would shut up, but the truth is he's an attention whore who enjoys playing the tough guy.
