I don't think this is as easy a fight for Manny as the general public is making it out to be. I know people are saying hes fighting a nobody, an unknown, and all that. But if you look at it closely, Algeri does have a style that can give Pacquiao problems. He's not like Rios or Margarito who just comes forward. He's a boxer along the lines of Marquez and Bradley, two guys who probably had the most success against him in recent years. The key for Manny is if he can successfully cut off the ring because Chris will be moving all night. Pacquiao will be there to be hit. And lets not forget, Pacquiao is suppose to be "done" after that Marquez TKO. But after outclassing a one of the best young, hungry and undefeated fighter in Bradley, hes going after another young, undefeated fighter. Got to respect that. And Pacquiao is on the decline, so that might play a factor in the fight. With all that said, I want to see Manny blast through the kid. Then I want to see him call out Floyd by name, none of that "ill leave it up to my promoter or if the fans want it blah blah blah" Force the issue, demand the fight where the world is watching.
with the way boxing is scored Pacquiao will always be at an advantage given his workrate and the sheer volume of punches he throws. I just cannot at all see Algeri winning. If anything he'll be on his bike for 12 rounds but he does not have anywhere enough power to slow Pac down. For sure, Manny got KTFO but it was a brilliant counter that he tripped into, against a suspiciously jacked up Marquez (thx Heredia).
i thought it was pretty clear in both fights who won, but the knock against pacquiao in the first was that he coasted too much in the early part of rounds. second fight bradley was doing great til he rocked him and lost his head going for the KO
First half of the fight was terribly boring. The second half was much better. Manny did hurt Algeri, but credit to Algeri for slowing the onslaught...But there was too much love for each other in this fight. If someone is looking to bash my face, im not getting chummy with him until things are settled. Manny was cautious for 11th and 12th, but he had a real chance to KO Algeri tonight
if that doesn't happen i want GGG v May @ 154. GGG's size shouldn't matter. He's the same walking & rehydrated weight as Canelo.
