Official Mayeather vs Pacquiao March 13th
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
Morebass, you broke it down pretty well and at least you acknowledged that Mayweather makes the necessary adjustments during the fight very well. Noone really has a clue how this is gonna play out and folks can call Mayweather a defensive fighter but really hes a great counter puncher and we all seen how Manny has had problems with Marquez cuz Marquez is a very good counter puncher. I just dont think Manny is prepared for what Mayweather will throw at him and Manny will be confused when he cant land punches so easy.
I'm going on the record now to say Pacquiao by Split decision. Which will set up a highly anticipated rematch about 6 months later.
I've put a lot of thought into this and while mayweather will have his moments, manny's workrate and punches in bunches from all angles are eventually going to get Floyd in some trouble, and the judges will favor manny's aggression over floyd's pot shotting.
Castillo would have got a decision over floyd if he was the more popular fighter. Right now, unfortunately for floyd, the tables have turned.

I think Floyd is going to surprise folks and throw combinations since Manny/Freddy Roach is expecting Floyd to pot shot his way to victory. This is Floyd's biggest fight, he can't lose it. I think it's going to be a close hard fight to score but in the end, Floyd's accuracy and effective punches landed will win him the fight.

HOLLYWOOD, California, December 21, 2009 - Less than three months before the hottest boxing campaign hits the mark, both camps of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have yet to issue official statement as to the finality of the match and its first official press conference.
But, Freddie Roach makes his own list of rated top-A sparring partners for his pupil.
"Other than Amir Khan as Pacquiao's main sparring partner, I like to include Timothy Bradley in my list."
Bradley, 26, is rated No. 1 in the light welterweight division. Like Mayweather, Jr., Bradley bears an orthodox stance at 5' 6" and remains undefeated with twenty-six wins.
Roach says both Khan, former sparring partner of Pacquiao, and Bradley will make the best of Pacquiao for a Mayweather fight.
"And I have the keys to break down Mayweather even in the earlier rounds." Roach says in a telephone interview with this writer last Friday. "Mayweather will have no more excuses; We'll catch him early, if not it's going to be Pacquiao by unanimous decision."
"Pacquiao will strike on at unexpected angles that Mayweather will become frozen from taking too many shots." Roach adds.
Meanwhile, amid a difficiult economy and a wave of lay-offs, boxing fans' enthusiasm continues to spread like a brush fire, eagerly anticipating the fight between two acclaimed pound-for-pound gladiators to take place.
One fan says: "I am not making a good paycheck from my unemployment benefit . But, I am starting to set aside enough dollars for the Mayweather-Pacquiao match."
Report from Top Rank officials has it that the MGM Grand Arena is likely the venue of the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao definitely this March 13, 2009.

Expert: Pacquiao could 'disjoint' Mayweather's shoulder roll
MANILA, Philippines -- An orthopedic surgeon is claiming that 7-time world champ Manny Pacquiao can smash his way through Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s “shoulder roll” defense with his power punches.
In fact, boxing and martial arts enthusiast Dr. Art Lee said, Pacquiao could even “disarticulate” or disjoint Mayweather’s shoulder roll at 147 pounds.
"Pacquiao can break that defense and his power shots can disarticulate Mayweather's infamous shoulder-rolling defense," said Lee in a report by the MaharlikanTimes.com.
Mayweather, who remains unbeaten in 40 fights because of his exceptional defense, heavily relies on his shoulder rolls to repel punches during fights.
The shoulder roll defense involves dropping one’s front arm to protect the body while keeping the chin protected by the shoulder, which will be used to ward off the incoming punches to the head.
Lee, however, said that this might not work against Pacquiao, who agreed to fight Mayweather at 147-pounds.
"Pacquiao should be much stronger and devastating at the pre-fight weight of 147 than he was at a catch-weight of 145," said Lee.
And a stronger Pacquiao means bad news to Mayweather’s shoulder.
Pacquiao, who recently won a seventh title from Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto, has already compiled 50 wins against 3 losses and 2 draws. His 38-knockout record speaks much about his punching power.
"I believe he is too powerful, too fast and too sleek for Mayweather, Jr. at this stage of his improvement," said Lee.
Pacquiao-Mayweather is seen as a battle between two of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world today.
Although the fight has yet to be announced, promoters are looking at a March 13, 2010 fight date. The fight purse is reportedly $50 million up front, at a US venue yet to be decided.

lol @ mollywhopping a bunch of over the hill mexicans and a joke in Hatton and a clearly flawed fighter in Cotto, he sure didnt mollywhop Marquez and Marquez won that 2nd fight in most boxing experts eyes. We all know what happened when Mayweather faced Marquez. Are you prepared for Manny to be the one that looks like a joke when Mayweather gets through with him??? At least Mayweather is a fighter, i cant stand trainers that wont shut there mouth. Hes not the one that has to fight so of course hes not worried about whatever comes out his mouth
Barrera was 28 years old the first time he lost to Pacquiao
Morales was 29 years old the first time he lost to Pacquiao
Pacquiao KO 2 Hatton
Mayweather TKO 10 Hatton
Cotto ws 34-1 going into the fight with the best resume out of any Welterweight. Floyd NEVER fought one single welterweight as good as Cotto.
Styles make fights, you should know that. Plus marquez went up 2 weight classes to see Floyd and marquez struggled even at 135 pounds. Whereas Pacquiao has filled into his welterweight body quite nicely.
Look at the difference in body mass:
And if you want to bring up the past lets not forget the "majority of the boxing world" thought Castillo beat Mayweather the first time.
Mayweather in theory should be able to out-box pacquiao. But on the flipside, are you prepared to see Floyd lose for the first time as a pro?
Roger Mayweather & Floyd Mayweather sr. don't know how to shut their mouths either, and apparently, Roger doesn't know how to keep his hands to himself neither cuz he's going to jail very soon for assaulting that girl. We'll see if he's locked up for the Pac fight or not.

shit you be sayin makes me laugh bruh. and yea manny is mollywhoppin mufuckas nobody can deny that. from the shit you sayin you must hate roger and sr. cuz all them fools do is talk shit. your soundin like a hypocrite right now and your huggin the mayweather's nuts rather tight homie. if mayweather wins i'll give him props, but i can guarantee he ain't goin make manny look like no joke. manny is goin make his bitch ass fight, he ain't goin be able to run all night and from what i seen manny take from cotto, the pretty boy ain't goin to hurt manny.
