What will it take?
A sniper in the rafters.
Seriously though, I don't think Baldy has the hand speed to KO Floyd in the dome, but if he can sling those soup-bones under Floyd's elbows in the early rounds, he has a chance at taking away his wind.Comment

Baldomir, to have any chance of victory, is going to have to crowd Mayweather, bully him, and put in overtime on his body work. Mayweather, I don’t feel, is going to coast to victory or dominate Carlos as some would suggest. Floyd will have his stomach for the sport tested come Saturday. The fight that comes to mind is Duran-Leonard I. Will this fight look exactly like that? Probably not, what could? However, Carlos offers that same kind of picture to Floyd that Duran offered to Leonard; Ray fell into the trap and went into the trenches with Duran. Floyd cannot afford to do that with Baldomir. He might be able to do it on occasion and then get out of the way and box from outside; but he can’t stay inside with the bigger man for 12 rounds. Floyd is going to have to mix and mesh his game plan because Baldomir is too skilled for Floyd to box on the outside all night long also. Baldomir won’t let him do that. Carlos will make Floyd fight; and we’re going to witness Floyd during one of the few gut-checks of his career.
I can't wait, personally.Comment

Baldomir is gonna have to eat 2 to 3 shots to land 1 good one to the body all night. Lucky for him Floyd can't crack an egg at 147. I think he'll walk through his shots like he did Gatti and punish that small frame of Mayweather's. I'm pulling for Baldomir, especially after seeing the countdown to the fight on HBO. I especially remember when he said that Judah hurt him with a shot, but all he could see was his 2 kids' faces and he wasn't going down.Comment
