(Photo credit: Stephanie Trapp/Mayweather Promotions) By Yannis Mihanos: Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao will be facing each other in the highest expected fight in boxing history on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fans from both sides express loudly and strongly their opinion about who will prevail. Both sides have specific desires and very interesting ideas about how this fight is going to go.
Because boxing as a sport is first and foremost entertainment, I thought of it as a good idea to forget for a moment what the latest news are and let’s have some fun tonight.
This is going to be a two part series, so you Mayweather fans be patient. Due to Mayweather being the official number one in boxing is the one who gets under fire the most, so I will naturally start with those who support Pacquiao first.
For most Pacquiao fans only the thought of Mayweather makes their heart pumping and their blood boiling. So let’s start first with the one side of the river that of Pacquiao and his boxing fans can get ready to have some good fun tonight.
Here is how it goes:
Pacquiao fans expect him to take his sweet revenge by demolishing Mayweather in every way possible especially with a KO. Pacquiao fans want him to be aggressive against Mayweather. A bomb ready to explode in the ring. Pacquiao’s fans want to see him go out like a raging bull and chase Mayweather all around the ring and unleash ferocious and merciless punches.
Pacquiao’s fans say: To hell with all the stats, go out there and kick his backside. Make him bleed, make him pay, make him look so bad that he will bitterly regret the moment that he agreed upon taking that damned fight.
Pacquiao’s fans want him to set the record straight once and for all by showing to the world who the best fighter in the world really is. Pacquiao fans expect him to deliver his best ever performance; not in round one, not in round three, not in round four, but in all twelve rounds.
Some of Pacquiao’s fans want to see Mayweather retreat embarrassed at the end of the match and cry inside his locker room like a little baby.
Many of Pacquiao’s fans want to see Mayweather arguing with his father/trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr and the reporters by the end of the match. They want to see him very upset and angry.
Pacquiao’s fans want to see Mayweather losing in this mega-fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. For 47 fights, Mayweather remains unbeaten so this is the best occasion to happen. This is the best window of opportunity.
Pacquiao’s fans want to see their favorite fighter to give his best even if he has to lose. In all sports there is this possibility. Let’s for a moment be humble about it and accept it. Sometimes when you lose you win and sometimes when you win you lose as they say.
Pacquiao’s fans want Manny to be alert at all times: Mayweather is a master in mind games. Remember what happened in the match between Mayweather and Victor Ortiz in 2011? Ortiz got knocked out in the 4th round after momentarily letting his hands down and letting Mayweather get in a free shot. Manny, I have one little piece of advice for you: stay vigilant against Mayweather on May 2nd.
Pacquiao’s fans want him to leave absolutely nothing to chance: Boxing is a sport of controversy at times. Remember what happened with Tim Bradley in his fight against Pacquiao? An outrageous decision took place in their first fight in 2012. So please, Manny, leave no choice to the judges.
So this is it. Pacquiao fans give me some more ideas about how you want to see your favorite fighter performing on May 2nd against Mayweather.
