Chances of fight being a letdown?

[Manos de Piedra]

Personally, there is no way this fight will be a let down. The fact that it is taking place and history is being made is enough for me.

If boring means it will be one sided then I don't mind because I love watching these guys doing what they do and appreciate the skill on display. It will take a lot of skill to make it a shut out so it will be amazing to watch. But for the casual lot I can see it being boring if Floyd dominates but Pac is fast enough to keep it interesting all the way.

It was the same with Froch and Groves, whilst I love seeing everyone get hyped over a fight it does get pretty annoying when they all of a sudden see themselves as experts, I was talking to one kid about it who continuously called Froch 'Frok' I could normally look past that but he was chatting so much nonsense I had to walk away from him.

I simply can't see how the fight ..... Or any fight ..... Can live up to the hyperbole surrounding this one.

Also, I really don't see Manny coming out going ho on this one. He got caught rushing in by Marquez and Floyd is at his best when people rush into him. I think Mannys traditional style plays into Floyds hands. Styles win fights and Floys has the style to beat Manny.

I suspect Roach knows this. Floyd doesn't throw many punches and Manny has a great engine. Floyd is a defensive wizard and he has a good chin, so Roach should be training PAC to fight like he did against Margarito. Fast feet, in and out, high volume of punches per round, don't rush in and wary of being countered coming in. PAC could out point Floyd by being seen to be the aggressor, but by winning on work rate. I hope he can walk that tightrope for 12 rounds without getting too macho about it.

And then .... never underestimate the capacity of Vegas judges to get the wrong result. I wouldn't be surprised to see a controversial draw or silly decision here.

Pac will see real speed for the first time.

It certainly wont be a FOTY candidate.

All the talk of "Hagler-Hearns" and the like is nauseating.

This fight has been in the making for years and can not live to the hype. I think Floyd will win an easy decision and that will be a let down.

People who don't watch boxing often will be disappointed...
