Tyson/JCC on Mayweather - We’re going to see how tough he is

[goti71]

I agree that Floyd will likely lose the early rounds (a KD maybe?), but after watching Algieri get that right hand lead through quite consistently to Pac's face (till Algieri got dropped 5 or 6 times), I imagine Floyd doing the same and better and more often.

It's going to be the case with all big time boxing events you're looking for momentum, who grabs it first, who can hold on to it, and who can implement their strategy best. Floyd will probably look to make a statement/scare Manny with something in round 1, be it a sharp power punch, or a speedy flurry, but you better believe that Pac will be looking to land hard and early in return. Whoever gets that first good hard connect will start with the momentum, then it boils down to how does the opponent take it, does it make them think, does it change their fight plan.


Floyd is certainly going to do the Ali, RJJ, tactic of landing a big clean shot in round 1 to get Manny thinking or to get him pissed off and try and get him swinging wildly.

it's a great tactic. My trainer always told us to throw 2 really stiff jabs as your first punches of the fight to get the guy thinking even if your not the biggest puncher make him think you are.

Algieri worked out that pac majority of the time comes in with 2 jabs followed by the straight left and managed to time the jabs and land right hands before pac got to throw the left. But the problem was that algieri would still be in punching range when he pivoted out and would move into pac's right hook. Floyd should do what marquez did which was a simple step back, counter and escape.
