Manny Pacquiao to Throw 110 punches per round

[brocktonblockbust]

Floyd simply doesnt punch enough to win a fight like that. By the start of Round 5, Manny will have thrown 400 punches. Floyd? Mehhh, maybe 150. Accuracy is everything, not just punches thrown, obviously, but Pac is way more accurate than maidana was.

Pacquiao’s best chance to defeat Mayweather is right now. Hell, I'll be the first to say that at age 36, Pac-Man isn’t quite the supreme physical specimen he once was. He is not in his physical prime. BUT AFTER GETTING KO'ED BY MARQUEZ, He is not the RECKLESS barbarian out for blood no matter what the cost. Pacquiao’s last three fights are evidence he has changed slightly.

IMHO Pacquiao is a smarter fighter now. He won’t rush into Mayweather. He won’t leave himself open to counterpunches. He’ll keep the fight right at the proper distance, let his hand speed, power and volume punching carry the rounds for him.

I don't think he will throw that many in a round, but simply explode in spurts to steal rounds. Mayweather will shell up and lose those rounds. On it goes and suddenly Manny is way up and only then does a Mayweather stoppage seem needed. He then likely gets sparked himself.

I tell everyone that Floyd is going to stop Manny. Even people that don't want to hear it!

I love Manny Pacquiaio, a real warrior, puts it all on the line and is never in a bad fight. I was dumbfounded when I watched him against Margarito and de la Hoya and pretty awestruck when I watched him blitz Hatton.

I have got to say, though, that while I WANT Manny to win, I THINK Floyd will do him.

I don't think Manny can sustain the kind of volume Brockton is talking about any more.mi think he wins the first few rounds and causes Floys all sorts of problems, but I really respect Mayweathers ring brain and I think he will begin to work Pac out by the fifth or sixth. He begins to time Pac better as Manny slows down and has enough spite in his punches to make Pacquiaio more wary about a full on assault.

Once that happens, and the pace slows down, I think Floyd keeps timing him with the straight right, luring Manny in and setting traps. He may even do enough to stop him in the late rounds.

Alternatively, Pac is super fit, keeps the relentless pressure on and makes Floyd lose his composure, perhaps cutting him or closing his eye in the process.

I hope so, but in my heart of hearts I see the former scenario as more likely.

I really hope that comes true.

Floyds an activity stealer. Manny has not thrown those kinds of numbers in years and Floyd makes 50 punch a round fighters slow to 10. Roach needs to stop with all these press blurbs about magic right hands and secret training techniques. He's starting to sound like a guy that has no confidence in winning or a man trying to convince himself.

Manny hasn't thrown a thousand punches in a fight since Margarito which was a long time ago now. If anything his output has declined considerably, but then again his opponents have started to realise that you don't trade with Manny. Bradley did try to throw punches and I think threw more than Manny both times, but he was also on his bike a lot also. Thinking about it Manny seems to be more a 50-60-70 punches a round guy these days which is kind of ordinary. I hope Manny has plenty left in the tank, but he is an old fighter and has a lot of fights on those wheels. I am always suspicious of Mayweather, he wouldn't sign the fight unless there was some chink. I am wondering what that is as Manny even with an ordinary output is still extremely good. Is it the chin? Manny's legs? The declining output? He has clearly seen something and though not an intellectually gifted man, he knows boxing inside out. It has me thinking. There is always something. Mayweather isn't like Toney who will just fight anyone, he always looks for some edge. Surely he wouldn't just bite off more than he can chew?

All the talking definitely looks desperate. Floyd's legs are gone, Floyd's getting hit in sparring....why mention these things? It sounds like "Floyd is diminished and we need Floyd diminished because we can't beat the genuine article" if indeed Floyd is getting hit in sparring say Floyd looks better than ever and we will beat him anyway. It all comes down to tricking the public still. They can't use the "Floyd never could beat us that's why he ran so long" because Floyd knows the truth. These comments from Arum and Roach are supposed to look like they are messing with Floyd but Floyd knows whether or not they are true. They are all media talk and all bullshit.

Let's hope both fighters are at the best they can be now and we get a good fight and finally all Roachs and Arums lying can stop.

Don't know why people read so much into the Maidana fight... Maidana was bigger than Floyd and so was able to be fairly effective at walking Mayweather down and mauling him. Pac is the smaller man in this fight. Bullying Floyd isn't going to work for him and I foubt he can outmanoeuvre him either.

Manny can beat bigger men when they're slow and 1 dimensional like Margarito, Not sure he will be able to do so with Floyd.

[SlimTrae]

My biggest questions for this fight.

1. How much will Floyd clinch when Pac tries to get in.
2. How much of it will the ref allow
3. If so, how will Manny deal with clinching.


If he can't hit with the free arm, then that punch out put drops right there. In other words; pac darts in- Floyd clinches.

Always hoping and dreaming.

Throws 110 and misses 107.

Manny has always slowed when he gets countered. That's why they avoided counter punchers whenever possible. So Floyd decides how much he throws. If Floyd can't counter him he gets blitzed. If Floyd starts landing crisp counters Manny will slow down and Floyd will pick him apart.

Manny couldn't even blitz Tim Bradley..

Manny needs to throw a high volume of punches at the right time but I think he is past his best years.
