Good points Lyle, I actually want to try to ignore (for the time being) the psychological ramifications of not having loaded gloves but yeah it will be very interesting to see how much Tony is willing to go through to get at Manny. But Mosley also had to get pretty physical and take some shit to get at Tony... It would be interesting to see what Manny has to go through to get off in succession.

I know Manny has great, explosive footwork but I have a suspicion that his footwork will have to be amplified because his feet are the real things that makes all the difference in the fight... Yes he has fast hands but he absolutely needs to be in and out, in and out... Upsetting Tony's constant advances.
Mosley had the whiskers to get away with keeping much more stationary but IF Tony is on full steam Manny really will have to figit around a hell of a lot.

So if this is the case, I'd be interested to see his footwork stray towards the negative bias of 'evasive action' neglecting the art of making angles and thus being stuck in a reverse gear. If this is the case then wow, what a spectacle it will be.

If Tony's content to plod and NOT be a mean mother fucker then he will probably get stopped late.
