Earlier I commented I didn't want to see this fight but I have been thinkiing about it.
I bolded where you said 2 rounds is sensational but it is just 2 rounds at 140. I had this in mind too and I think your right. koysta is one of the best lightwelterweight ever and manny has only fought 2 rounds at 140.
IMO koysta had one of the best right straight I have ever seen, and I think the best weapon to fight pac with is exactly that. I disagree with you though on the part you said koysta will slow pac down. I just dont think koysta throws quantity and is very active to slow pac down to the later rounds. I think he could catch pac with a few big shots to make pac double think but physically I think pac is more likey to slow koysta down if koysta doesn't land enough big straight rights.
I would make koysta the favorite.
Hey just realize koysta knock zab out with seconds left in the second round just like how pac knock hatton out in the second. ;)
