Pacquiao-Algieri Prefight & Postfight discussion & analysis thread

[BIG GUNZ]

Had a dream yesterday where Pacquiao got KO'd again.....

I hope & expect Pacquiao to win, but for some reason I wouldn't be surprised if Algieri somehow pulls it off.

And this is how looks shirtless. Ripped! says he can still make 135 lbs.

And this my fellow boxing enthusiasts, is how genetics is going to completely overwhelm Chris Algeiri and his masters in clinical nutrition.

I think this is a good fight .

Manny is going to stop this cherry pick as he should, and then turn around and duck Floyd, but you know what, it will be a win/win for the fans in the end because Pacquiao would get put to sleep by Maidana and Floyd can sweep Devon in a thriller.

I would love to see Pac kick the shat out of Maidana. Hopefully that's the next fight.

I predict Pacquiao will be brutal in this one, he apparently lost some other competitions against Algieri during the press tour, they played like basketball, pool etc (or so I remember hearing a few weeks ago)..

if you remember before the Hatton fight, he lost a game of darts to Hatton in a UK pub and it was that loss which fired him up to destroy Hatton.. Pacquiao is naturally competitive and he's going to be very, very dangerous in this fight because of losing to Algieri in those other "sports".. he will go for the KO.

Algieri's breakfast



I'm always amazed at how hard these guys work in the lead-up to fights on so little food

It's in order to make weight, but that selection of food isn't too bad.

I remember seeing Haye just eat a single bowl of porridge in the morning before heading to training - now that was hardly anything.

The main reason Algieri has no shot is that he just has no power. He's not a puncher, he's just a boxer.

To have a chance against pac you have to hurt him. There's nothing Algieri can do to slow down Pac at all. All he can do is use his legs, use lateral movement, jab and counter with no power.

The difference is Pac will hurt him.
