I know this is going out on a limb...but I just don't see the Pac Man getting through this fight. The reason being is this or the reasons are these.
1- Pac has showed no semblance of an inside game...he has a run an gun offense that is predicated on high volume and movement. If Margarito should start tying up Pacqiao and weighing down on him it will affect Manny. If Marg get's going with a body assault this can be over in 9 rounds. I don't see Pac commiting to body shots...I have never seen him to that. He had a chance to stop Clottey by going inside but chose to play it safe from a distance. Margarito loves to crowd your space.
2- Margarito establishing a jab would be dooms day considering the reach advantage he has. Should he move that jab up and down to vary his attack that should keep Manny off guard and leary of jumping in. Jab Pacqiao to the pit of his stomach. Marg gains an early lead off the jab and begins to fight going backwards inviting Manny to move forward then catch him in his aggression.
3- Energy out put...Manny can't afford to relax and settle into the pocket...his game plan will be to move, move, move and move....and move. He has excellent conditioning and pulled it off against Clottey who refused to apply pressure but Marg will be firing at him in the late rounds in pursuit if he executes 1-2 to get to the 3rd phase.
Foot note: Watch Margaritos uppercuts and see if they become the X-factor against Manny's guard.
