Bhop being a lil generous. I expect him to pull away after 3 or 4.
Wanna bet theres no more than than 2 rounds between them after 12 rounds ? ... Sounds like Hopkins is actually hedging his bets because in one sentence he says floyd will pull away mid fight and the next he has never faced anybody like pacquiao...no one has ever pulled away from pacquiao because he don't fade ..we will see Saturday
How can mayweather make adjustments and time pacquiao when he is so unorthodox and switches up his combos every time? Hes not like most of all his last opponents who all do the same thing and come straight forward throwing jabs and straight rights. He feints, pumps his jab, and you never know what angle he is going to attack from.until its too late. Bob arum was right when he said pacquiaos footwork will cause Floyd alot of problems. His footwork is what allows him to get his punching angles, and Floyd will be no different. People act like Floyd will be neo from the matrix, however bullets fly straight and Manny comes from all angles and also has a killer right hook. I tend to agree with arum that this will be a pacquiao de la Hoya type beat down on Floyd. Floyd will have to change everything he knows about boxing in order to have a chance. He will have no choice but to open up and let his hands go like Marquez did and hope he can score enough. Defense is so.ingrained in mayweathers mind that he will not change, and he will probably even throw less once he feels mannys knockout power. Manny is going to put Floyd on his stomach like a bad pushup. Look at both of mannys fights with Bradley. Bradley actually did a lot better in the second fight when he was trying to take pacquiaos head off with every shot, because as soon as Bradley lifted pacquiao off his feet in around the 3rd, he adjusted his game plan and was more careful. I doubt Floyd has it in him to take those kind of risks especially with Floyd Sr. In the corner.
manny running face first, full speed into a check hook
Once Manny takes floyds best shot and knows that Floyd cant Ko him, its game over for Floyd. The only way to beat pacquiao is to get him to respect your power. Just like the algieri fight, Manny knew algieri couldn't hurt him so he was free to have his way and do whatever he wanted. Hes going to take mayweathers cheeks jailhouse style on may 2nd
