How will the actual fight look?

I think Floyd will need a few rounds to adjust to Mannys rhythm and speed/power. It will get right through the middle rounds with Manny throwing and moving much more than Floyd, who will slip a lot and land the cleaner blows. Floyd will take rounds 10&11 pretty big and Manny will go all out in the final round. It will be a close decision and there will be a rematch. Specific observations:
1. I think Manny will be MUCH faster than Floyd.
2. Floyd will be MUCH better than Manny on the inside, and will eventually time Manny so that when he hops back out Floyd comes in with the right lead and continually pushes him back.
3. Manny will be so up for this fight that he will try and respond with numerous shots when Floyd lands something.
4. Floyd's biggest threat is his motivation vs Manny's desire. Manny views this as his biggest fight ever. This is just another fight to Floyd.
