LAS VEGAS: Freddie Roach said he has devised an elaborate strategy that will deliver a decisive victory for Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao in his ‘Fight of the Century’ against Floyd Mayweather.

The revered trainer said he expects a bulked up Mayweather to seek an early rounds knockout but warned Pacquiao would be ready to go the distance if necessary.

“I have the winning formula for Manny,” Roach said at the MGM Grand Hotel, with Saturday’s bout just over 48 hours away.

“He (Mayweather) put on a lot of muscle for this fight. I think he will come out in early rounds and try to knock us out.

how did he put on a lot of muscle yet he weighed in at 146lbs. smh

Are you guys blind? Or did you not see the weigh-in?

Floyd did look bulky on the shoulders and chest. I have been saying it over and over, Floyd will go for a KO. Round 9 baby. Pac is going down.

because muscle has been proven to increase punching power right? That's why the hugest guys like Timothy Bradley are gigantic power punchers and skinny weaklings like Matthysse can't punch for shyt right............?

Can't wait for this fight. Should be full of action. But IF manny loses what will Roach say? I am honestly more captivated by that because he has been talking a lot of ****. Well I guess he always has. Anyone ever watched the roach 8 episode doc on HBO a few yrs ago? He is not portrayed as a nice guy. Will he take the defeat with class? Or if he wins will he talk even more...

Just having big muscles does not render you a KO artist. You have to have other skills to deliver that power to its target. Bradley does look like a mini hulk but he lacks the technicality to deliver. He lacks the balance necessary and his timing is way off.

Matthysse on the other hand has good balance and form, like a Golfer teeing off, he swings to knock your head off and by the way, he is not skinny as you say. Watch a Matthysse weigh-in and you will see that he has guns. Again, having muscles alone is not enough.

if its a bodybuilding contest then the muscles of floyd jr gonna win, but, this is boxing, the one, who can hit the target in lightning speed gonna win!

because floyd is a good person and would never cheat or try to gain an advantage. memo heredia can verify this.

Everyone has a plan until they get cracked. Pac will learn this the hard way.

Arrogant Floyd fans crack me up.

Lemme guess, you read the title and replied without realizing that it had nothing to do with what Roach actually said.
