Manny Pacquiao boxing news
By Chris Williams: While a lot of boxing fans think that WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao needs to totally revamp his fighting style to have a chance of beating WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr in their big mega-fight on May 2nd, Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach isn’t one of them.
Roach doesn’t see any point in Pacquiao hitting the reset button on his game, and he also doesn’t see any point in Pacquiao trying to use the same fighting style of some of Mayweather’s past opponents like Marcos Maidana to try and come up with a good enough fighting style to beat him.
By Raj Parmar: Manny Pacquiao is feeling very confident as he approaches his showdown with pound for pound number one fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr. Manny believes he can see what his opponents are feeling by looking into in their eyes, and he got the chance to look into Floyd’s at their press conference a few weeks ago to promote their upcoming super fight.
Pacquiao feels Floyd knows a rough night awaits him when they both step into the ring on May 2 in their fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is certain Mayweather’s reign at the top of the sport is coming to an end.
By Mark Vane: When it comes to fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr., no matter who the opponent has been, from Zab Judah, Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Victor Ortiz, Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, Juan Manuel Marquez and the list goes on, there has been no Mayweather opponent where Floyd’s expert defensive reflexes and pinpoint offensive marksmanship has not frustrated an opposing fighter.
In other words, the opposition gets tired of getting hit and not hitting at some point in the fight.
By Sizzle JKD: Seven-time trainer of the year Freddie Roach is upping the ante. During a lackluster sparring session this weekend, Roach expressed some frustration and disgust at Manny Pacquiao for his lack of execution and the quality, or lack thereof, of his efforts. Pacquiao seemed to be taking it easy, implied Roach.
“I was just a little frustrated because, I mean, why with me it’s okay but then when he gets in there with somebody else, he completely changes,” Roach told GMA News yesterday.
By Chris Williams: If Manny Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs) is to have a chance of beating WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr (47-0, 26 KOs) on May 2nd, Pacquiao will need to control the range against Mayweather, says former two division world champion Paulie Malignaggi.
This is something that Pacquiao will need to be able to accomplish without him jumping in like he normally does, because he’ll be picked apart by Mayweather if he attempts to fight in that way on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
To be more exact, I believe that Floyd has never faced a better fighter than Manny Pacquiao. On May 2nd, Mayweather and Pacquiao will be facing off in their mega-fight in front of millions of boxing fans in their HBO and Showtime pay-per-view bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Sr. is extremely happy that his son Floyd Mayweather Jr (47-0, 26 KO) is finally facing Manny Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs) in their fight on May 2nd.
The fight now gives Floyd Sr. a chance to show the world what he feels he already knows about Manny not being in the same class as Mayweather Jr. Floyd Sr. sees Pacquiao as fighter that is not as skilled as his son Mayweather, and he thinks it’s going to be a one-sided fight when Mayweather and Pacquiao go at it on May 2nd.
