Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao: BREAKDOWN

"The way I see the fight, is with both Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather in the middle of the ring, in what Roy Jones likes to call a “Stepback toe to toe” fight. I do not see Mayweather using lateral movement in this fight at all. First reason is because he wants to show and prove that he can beat Manny the way nobody thought he could. Second reason is because against a fighter like Manny you should not spend so much energy moving around, a boxer like Mayweather only needs to constantly move around against a brawler, like Maidana, or a big guy like Canelo. I have never seen Manny Pacquiao as brawler, but rather as a boxer puncher. That means that he won’t be coming forward the whole time against any fighter. Manny has enough skills to try to make Mayweather think. However, no matter what breakdown you have, I think everybody that enjoys boxing (The casual and the Hardcore fan) should be happy this fight has been made. These are two boxers that have whooped everybody they have put in front of them. (With the exception of some Pacquiao fights) Mayweather has faced every style that you can think of, except for Pacman’s style. The same goes for the Filipino boxer, he has faced every style in the book, except for that one of the so called T.B.E; Floyd Mayweather Jr. That is why this fight is so great. We will see two dedicated and God-gifted athletes share the same ring. We will see speed vs speed, Hall of Fame trainer (HOF) vs. HOF trainer, calculated offense vs wild offense. Come May 2nd 2015 will be an end of a boxing era, but the beginning of new era, that comes with many promising boxers".

The last man to beat Floyd, regrets it

A great article from the New York Times, it's worth reading, it begins

"PAZARDZHIK, Bulgaria — The man who beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. lives across the street from a burned-out coffee hut with a giant banana painted on its back wall. Around the bend, leaning in the tall grass, is a corroded shed holding ancient farming equipment. Every so often a horse trots down the craggy road, pulling a splintered cart and a rider toward the center of one of this country’s poorest towns.
Late Tuesday morning, the man who beat Mayweather, Serafim Todorov, stood on the curb here. He was in front of the seven-floor concrete apartment building where he, his wife, his son and his pregnant daughter-in-law live in a modest first-floor unit. Todorov talked with his son, Simeon. He watched a horse clop by. He smoked a cigarette. Then he went inside, sat in a chair and, like a teakettle perched on a glowing stove, steamed to a rolling boil as he remembered what happened in Atlanta 19 years ago."

Roach seems to be obsessed, hope all these changes don't have a negative effect and there aren't any excuses later.

Ariza has Floyd swimming. Another excuse for the pactards, 'there was something in that water!'
Pac's excuse after the fight, 'God delivered him into my hands uh.. but errm... he has been swimming so he slipped away like a fish!'
