Then again it was Mayweather talking it up like he could knock out King Kong.Face it we got sucked in by Mayweather's mouth and what he was saying he was going to do to Oscar and when all said and done he escaped with a hairline desicion.

Yeah Floyd always talks big about how he is gonna destroy the other guy but we know it is his intention to employ a safety first tactic and steal a decision .

No doubt he will talk of knocking out Oscar this time but he knows if he counters, defends well and use his speed he can win it on points . He wont try to open up on Oscar at any point . He got a K.O last time cuz the smaller man was charging forward with no defence.

It will be another interesting fight . No classic but Floyds superior fitness and speed give him a slight edge . I think it may be worth risking a tenner on Oscar though if the odds are good.
