Is the main event going to start a little bit earlier since it's in Macau? Didn't the Rios fight start an hour or so earlier than it usually does in the states?

Just checked. Looks like the fight is on course for regular state side start times. Card starts at 8 PM central time.

Oscar Predicts PAC by ko3 and that Floyd will duck PAC

Algieri isn't small for a JW / WW, but he also doesn't seem as big and sturdy as many of the guys Pac has fought (despite being 4? inches taller than Pac). My fan goggles aside, if Pac comes out awake, cutting off Algieri's movement, and not being too deferential to Algieri's (non) power this should be a very lopsided affair, IMHO. To me, in the Provodnikov fight Algieri looked as good as he did because of the amount of time it was taking Provo to get set and reset. Algieri was stopping to stick, then move, faster than Provo could get set. (He fought more how a Bradley in a better headspace should have fought Provodnikov.) I don't really think Algieri can stop to stick with Pac even with the height and reach, and while his movement is good (and may well save him from a KO) I don't really think it's competitive with Manny's or what Manny has seen. But I'm biased, so...

Pac never looked great as the hunter imo. He can do it, but he's not exceptional at cutting off the ring. I think it will be fairly lopsided Pac's way, maybe 8-4 or 9-3 but I'd be surprised if there's a KO, Algieri's always moving away from shots. But, I've been wrong many times before so who knows.

Don't sleep on Piriyapinyo though, his only loss was to Chris John in 2012 and that one was closer than the judges had it. It was a great fight!
