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.
