Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Focused on Workrate, Not a KO of Mayweather

[aboutfkntime]

WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is focused on a high workrate to gain points, round by round, against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather will stake his WBC/WBA welterweight titles in the massive pay-per-view showdown.

Both sides are predicting a knockout victory, including Pacquiao's own trainer Freddie Roach, who says Mayweather's legs are now old and he won't be able to avoid the punches.

If May is so damn hard to catch, how in the hell a slow plodder like Maidana able to hit him more than any other fighters May ever fought?

You might say "but Manny don't know how to cut the ring off" my answer to that is, 2 months of training is more than enough to train for that particular kink.

Don't be surprise when you see May on his back for the "first" time. And he will be busted up like he never has before. WAR MAYWEATHERSEXECUTIONER!!!!

But they have been working on that for years now.

That is exactly what I am worried about !

This fight will be won by whoever can get the other guy to fight his fight.

If Mayweather can control the distance, he will control the pace of the fight, and will most likely win hands down.

Pac will need to outwork Mayweather, which will be a big ask.

And Pac outworking Mayweather will not come down to stamina, like many have suggested..... it will come down to Mayweathers precision, when controlling the distance.

If Mayweather can handle the pressure, by controlling the distance with precision, Mannys output will drop making his job all that much harder.

Mannys ability to cut off the ring will be tested/exploited at the very highest level this weekend.

[Hype job]

As long as Manny's chin holds up (my biggest worry) he should win.

It is highly unlikely that Mayweather will stop Manny.

Mannys chin is fine, and Marquez power is over-rated lol

He just caught Pac coming in, thats all..... the same thing would have happened to Marquez if the roles were reversed.

A guy on the other thread is saying that weak little Mayweather wont be able to keep Pac off him.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Pac will not be able to walk through Mayweathers punches. Mayweather will keep him honest, and closing the distance is going to be a real problem for Pac..... but I doubt that anybody gets knocked out in this one.

I wish Roach would stop letting Floyd know what he plans to do!

Both men will just do what they want in the ring

all this gameplan **** is rubbish

these men are at a point in their careers where they know what works and what doesn't

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

And with that surprising power too. But Pacquiao's work rate isn't anywhere near what it once was and he'll be facing the one fighter who specializes in decreasing activity. The most overlooked aspect of this fight is Mayweather's size, strength and underrated offense.

I don't think Pacquiao's workrate would decrease. I never see this in any of his recent fights.

Ummm..... ?

Pacquiao's output will drop because he is fighting Mayweather.

He wasnt fighting Mayweather in " any of his recent fights ".

Every single Mayweather opponent suffers a drop in output.

It is obvious why.
