Comments Thread For: Roach: We Have To Dominate Mayweather in Round One

[tiliheels]

He treated Algieri and Bradley like target practice,and they're just as mobile as floyd ,so he should have no problem keeping up with mayweathers pace. I actually disagree with the idea that Manny should bumrush Floyd at the beginning. His best bet is from round 8 onwards,where Floyd just gets on his bike and tries to cruise. He should get him used to a certain amount of speed and pressure,and when Floyd least expects it,Pacquiao unleashes hell. As for Floyd knocking Pacquiao out,or making him gun shy,I'm willing to bet anything that Pacquiao will walk through anything that Floyd will throw at him.

pac landed 30% on a hurt bradley..that is target practice?? and he landed 40 punches in the end of the 6 and 7 only with bradley standing still so its actrually worse than that

The problem with Pacquiao is if Mayweather doesn't engage or push the action aggressively Pacquiao is going to lung in swinging wild and get his ass countered. Floyd is not going to chase Manny around to make himself vulnerable to his speed. Floyd is going to keep distance between them in the early rounds and feel out Manny and Manny is going to keep his distance because he will be baffled on how to initiate the action and just going to jump in off balance arms swinging and Floyd going to mop him up like a biscuit with a big plate of gravy.

As long as Floyd don't get overly aggressive he can control the pace from round 1 to 12 because Manny don't have no inside fighting game either. If Manny was to some how pull it off I would give him the utmost respect but due to the style, ring IQ and advantages I would have to be really sympathetic to pick against Mayweather. Floyd by domination. He is going to treat Manny like the lil guy watch and see.

Floyd will be too scared to use it LMAO

I have been watching Manny fights all week and boy howdy does he jump on your neck from the first round on. Guy is like a blaze of fire. Floyd will have to be prepared for that.

I'm not sure why Freddie is giving away part of Pac's strategy. Stop talking, Roach! Manny said you guys weren't going to give away any strategy, and here you go, running your mouth.

I said this a while ago

Can't let Floyd build confidence early on...

I think Roach is the most scared out of all of them. What kind of strategy is "We have to dominate Mayweather in round one"? Seriously? Freddie Roach don't know what the hell he is going to do against Mayweather. So he's telling Manny that he has to dominate Mayweather in round one but what happens when that plan goes to hell? Roach don't have no damn strategy to beat Mayweather. That fool been saying Floyd legs are shot since 3 years ago but Floyd keep winning.

Roach is banking on Floyd being shot but Floyd still winning with his legs. Roach says Floyd probably would have beat Manny 5 years ago but now he doesn't because his legs are shot but Floyd is still moving and winning. Manny was the one with the cramps through 3 fights. Oh man.....

Manny is going to be in the corner during the 6th round lost because Roach won't be able to give him no more input because all Roach has been doing is hoping for Mayweather to age in the ring and despite his tough fight with Maidana the first time. Floyd looked better in the second fight so how much did he slip if he did better the second time around? Manny is in trouble and Roach can't save him.
