Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[johnm is...]

Everyone's got an opinion on this fight but you're not showing much of anything but silly responses. Keep it up, hope we all get a good fight.

Right. All you talk about is how fast he is, and my response is silly.

You guys.

I love this place.

Yeah, you guys are really displaying some serious boxing knowledge here.

"Manny just so fast! He just so fast! He makes fast people look not fast!"

Forget about the fact that he can't cut the ring off, and that he won't be able to touch Floyd from the distance that Floyd will fight him at. Forget about that. Leaping in with his punches? That should work. That'll close the gap.

All those fast hands are gonna do is make him....miss faster.

But you guys are right. He's really fast. Some regular Bert Sugar's we have ourselves here

Pacquiao has the superior footwork.

Pacquiao will fight in the centre of the ring and dictate from there. If Floyd want to go running back to the ropes let him.

Yes, throw a combo at times then move. Keep Floyd moving. Manny has the better stamina and can fight at a higher work rate.

Pacquiao should pot too some times with the straight left.

Floyd will be look for that straight right and Pacquiao just got to get his feet right so it can easily be slip.

Floyd does favour throwing straight punches and Manny guard is decent for that

If Manny can bring his right hook into play, then Floyd will be in real trouble.

Manny's guard is more pikaboo style, Floyd will definitely be landing the straight right,
but one thing I've noticed more from Pac at this stage of his career is he's catching punches with his gloves very well and can slip or feint right after to unload some punches.

Manny's right hook will always be in display I too think it that could cause problems for Mayweather but it's the little things that Mayweather does that makes all the difference.

A lost round to Mayweather could just mean he's figured out something and shown it in the next round. Though Manny has shown he too can adjust as well.

I don't think he can help himself. It is what trolls do though.

Yes, hopefully it will be a spectacle. I got a feeling though that Floyd will try and spoil and hold to slow Pacquiao down, throw and then hold, get broken then repeat.

I hope we have a strong ref

Thing I don't like about Manny's boxing sometimes, is that when he lunges to do his combination there are times when his opponent is too far for him to reach so the last two or so punches of his combination gets wasted and he's just punching air, which makes him look silly sometimes. Pac is fortunate that his opponent becomes off balance from keeping their distance away from when he lunges so they're not able to retaliate. But Floyd has great balance, and I won't be surprised if he can take advantage of Pac missing his combination, being off balance coz he lunges forward, then get countered by Floyd. The trick for Floyd is knowing when Pac's combination ends so he can counter effectively. If FLoyd counter's too early, he might get tagged in the middle of Pac's combinations. If Floyd counter's too late, Pac is quick enough to reset after his combo and pivot away. But if Floyd counter's Pac, then I can actually see Floyd knocking down Pac.

Mayweather has a good jab, so getting the right hook will be tough. Manny has the great variety of punches.

He always needs to keep Floyd guessing, use lots of feints and mix things up and don't be too predictable.

He needs to start fast though, and get a lead on the scorecards.

He said that after the Cotto fight. Floyd Snr looked shook.

At the time Floyd said he had nightmare that he lost in the ring and would wake up crying.

Mentally Floyd and his team are at a disadvantage. Floyd and his team feared for his health when a fight with Pacquiao was brought up in the past.

Yup, before the Cotto fight, Floyd Sr was super confident then after he was scared for Floyd's health.

You notice that Floyd Jr and Sr say similar lines.
