Pacquiao vs. Algieri

Roach concerned with Pacquiao’s huge entourage

by

roach777By Jim Dower: Trainer Freddie Roach was concerned with his fighter Manny Pacquiao’s huge entourage that boarded the plan this week to fly over to Macau, China to watch him fight Chris Algieri at the Venetian Macao’s Cotai Arena.

Roach feels that many of the members of Pacquiao’s entourage are guys that he doesn’t know by name. Roach thinks that this large group of people could ultimately be a distraction for Pacquiao as he tries to relax and get ready for his tough title defense against Algieri.

Roach says he spoke to Pacquiao about his views about the entourage. The large group of people took two planes, and there were 380 people on those planes. Some of the people were part of Team Pacquiao. It’s unclear just how many of the members of the entourage are simply there to support him without having an official capacity.

Pacquiao vs. Algieri – Will the Underdog Win Again?

by

pac995By Suleyman Can Sucu We are two days away from the Manny Pacquiao vs. Chris Algieri fight on Saturday night in Macau, China and there isn’t that much hype about this much. Why is that? The main reason is not many people think Chris Algieri has a chance against the legendary Manny Pacquiao.

Everyone is already discussing who Pacquiao will fight next but not the possible outcomes of this fight. I do not agree with this. Algieri is in this fight and I believe he has a shot in winning this fight and proving all his doubters wrong.

How will Pacquiao-Algieri pan out

by

pac553By Sam: Everyone has a chance to win any particular boxing match, but, if ring experience and IQ are considered, you can’t in any way say that Chris Algieri can beat Manny Pacquiao this Saturday.

You may have a gut feeling that Chris Algieri may win or you may want him to win because he is an underdog, but, if you have enough knowledge in boxing you will know that it is just restricted to that.

Pacquiao: The aggressiveness is back

by

pac666By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KOs) claims he’s rediscovered his long lost aggressiveness that disappeared almost overnight five years ago in 2009 following a win over Miguel Cotto.

Since that fight, Pacquiao’s aggressiveness disappeared and along with it his knockouts. However, Pacquiao, 35, feels that his long lost aggressiveness will be all display for fans to see this Saturday night on November 22nd in his fight against Chris Algieri (20-0, 8 KOs) at the Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort, Macao, in Macao S.A.R., China.

The Pacquiao-Algieri fight will be televised on HBO pay-per-view for those boxing fans interested in seeing the fight.

“We did our best in training and we’ve seen from the old days the speed, the power, the determination, the aggressiveness is back,” Pacquiao said via Fightnews.com.

Roach predicts 1st round knockout win for Pacquiao over Algieri

by

roach665By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach has been making knockout predictions for his fighter Manny Pacquiao for many years now, and his fight against Chris Algieri this Saturday night will be no exception.

Roach sees Pacquiao stopping the 30-year-old Algieri in the 1st round when the two fighters get inside the ring this Saturday night, November 22nd, in Macau, China. Pacquiao hasn’t scored a knockout over an opponent since his 12th round stoppage win over Miguel Cotto in 2009. Even in that fight, you can make an argument that the fight should have been allowed to continue due to Cotto still fighting back.

Why Chris Algieri will beat Pacquiao

by

algieri6By BK: This Saturday night, the little known Chris Algieri will step into what could end up being the biggest fight of his career against Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao for the 147 welterweight WBO world championship.

Algieri is coming off a 12 round split decision victory over Ruslan Provodnikov to win the light welterweight 140 WBO world title. Algieri was a huge underdog in this fight due to fighting on undercards and not being part of big fights that would generate a huge recognition in the casual fan eye.

Pacquiao thinks he can make 135

by

pacquiao7By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KOs) expects to find his long lost power when he moves down to light welterweight in the near future. His fight next Saturday night against Chris Algieri (20-0, 8 KOs) will be taking place at 144 pounds when they step inside the ring in Macau, China.

Depending on how well Pacquiao does in that fight, he will then move down to light welterweight in order to find his power and find additional opponents for him to fight. If Pacquiao stay at 147, he’ll be pretty much stuck fighting the likes of Tim Bradley, Mike Alvarado and Brandon Rios for the remainder of his day, because that’s pretty much all Top Rank has in that weight class. But if Pacquiao moves to 140, he can fight Terence Crawford, Jessie Vargas, Ruslan Provodnikov, Mikey Garcia and additional fights against Algieri.
