Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr Full Fight PREDICTION | Will Mayweather KO Pacquiao THOUGHTS HD
Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr 5 2 2015 Full Fight. Manny pacquiao vs floyd mayweather fight! Wow, manny pacquiao vs floyd mayweather fight will be epic! Mayweather vs pacquiao is gonna rock! This is not the actual video or event. An undisputed and undefeated five-division champion, Floyd Mayweather will enter the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas as a massive favorite over rival Manny Pacquiao on May 2. The 38-year-old Mayweather has earned the nickname “Money” both for his business acumen and for being one of the surest bets in boxing history as he’s taken down 47 straight opponents and never tasted defeat once. Based off the most recent odds from Bovada.lv, the bout is largely expected to sway in Mayweather’s favor. The over-under on the total number of rounds currently stands at 11.5, meaning book makers firmly believe the defensive-minded Mayweather will control the mega-fight’s tempo and put the decision in the hands of the judges. Winning seven of his last eight bouts via decision, the chances Mayweather picks up another decision off Pacquiao has been set at -140. Essentially, the safest bet once again lies in Team Money’s corner. But with the fight now eight days away, set to bust every gate, pay-per-view, and purse record in its path, there are reasons to believe the underdog Pacquiao will prevail. Southpaws Are Always A Problem Mayweather’s on the cusp of capping one of the greatest careers in boxing history. Only a handful of fighters have finished their careers undefeated, and Mayweather figures to join them if he can hold off Pacquiao. The problem is Pacquiao’s southpaw stance, and Mayweather having faced only five lefties in his career. Mayweather’s beaten every southpaw he’s faced, the last being Robert Guerrero in 2013, but none possessed the power and relentless nature of Pacquiao. This certainly gives credence to the theory that Mayweather has avoided Pacquiao all these years because of the latter’s style. Mayweather’s defense-first strategy has worked wonders against every opponent, but when facing a lefty most boxers are thrown off by their backwards style. The direction a jab comes from a righty has now flipped to the other side, and the same for every other punch. Not to mention the different patterns of footwork. Deception or the element of surprise, and certainly more punching power, should be in Pacquiao’s favor throughout the fight. Pacquiao’s Desire To be clear, neither combatant desperately needs this fight for the money. The fact that each will clear nine figures from the combined purse, gate and PPV buys is a major perk on top of the decades-worth of bragging rights up for grabs. But there’s very little question who stands to benefit the most from a victory. Pacquiao would once again be on top of the boxing world having dropped his only real equal throughout his career. Talk of the disastrous knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez two years ago will be viewed as an anomaly rather than awkward punctuation
