    Ever since the horn fight, Pacquiao has added bodywork to his arsenal. He hurt both broner and Thurman badly to the body. Vargas showed that Garcia's brings his arms down to protect his ribs when he starts getting tagged to the body,leaving his face exposed. I see Pacquiao catching Garcia with a similar punch to the one that he landed on Thurman,where he switched levels and made Thurman drop his hands to protect the body. Garcia is not a fast fighter,nor does he fight at a fast pace. He is very close to Pacquiao's size,and this would allow pac to get in easier and light him up. Pac would be able to set his own pace and either cruise to a easy decision,or stop garcia late.

      I think there is a real possibility this fight happens next in Saudia Arabia as Mannix just mentioned.
      Exactly
      I’d be worried about the second half of the fight
      Pac would fade like in the Thurman fight
      Only difference is Garcia , imo , would have the gas to put away those rounds
      Close squeaky decision for Pac

        Mikey should jump through whatever hoops to land that fight. I keep forgetting he's only 32. It's a great match up for Pac and also the best opportunity Mikey will get at a 147 title shot..
        But isnt there rumors of Crawford v Pac getting signed?

          Marquez on the other hand has an over hand right, a straight lead, many more variety of punches, and Marquez is quite the volume puncher also.
          I agree. Being Mexican is the biggest thing they have in common.

            I think Manny is too mobile and too many angles for Mikey, Garcia is looking like a one trick pony that is too calculated and one paced, Manny can beat him a few different ways.

              Nobody has time for this. Why we aren't getting Crawford vs Manny in Saudia Arabic. Instead we are getting Mikey "Cashout at 147" Garcia. I'll pass.

                I think Mikey took this risky fight to try and get Manny for sure. I feel like just winning it was all needed to do really to get the nomination. I can’t see mannys team fighting Crawford when they can fight Mikey.

                  STOP. He's nothing like Marquez. You're comparing a Nissan to a Ferrari.

                      Yeah. As a Crawford fan I'm a little annoyed Mikey won yesterday because now he will get the Pac fight. I think ESPN would have been willing to pay Pac's 20 million guarantee demand to fight Crawford.
