I think Pacquiao should win because he has for more experience than Algieri. Simply trying to outbox Pacquiao is not that simple. I'm sure Pac and Freddie will be prepared for Algieri's style and find a way to beat him. Many people have underestimated Pacqiuao. Just because he is shorter doesn't mean he'll likely lose. He's proven it time and time again that he can beat bigger guys, like Margarito, De la Hoya, etc... which is a very amazing feat that has not been accomplished by many fighters.
DO NOT underestimate Algieri. Manny Pacquiao could be biting more than he could chew. This is a no gain but very big risk kind of fight for Manny and Algieri is a very hungry fighter, hungry for recognition. Pacquiao will be in a unfamiliar ground come fight night. I can't remember when did he fought a fighter similar to Algieri's style. He fought Margarito and ODLH who is taller than him but these fighters engage unlike Algieri. He is an intelligent fighter who knows how to curve a win and undefeated. I hope Manny can pull this one unlike Donaire who was too daring and as the saying goes " biting more than he could chew".
I considered this a toss up.
Pacquiao will outbox Algieri and take him down in the 6th or 7th round. Algieri's height advantage will matter little, just ask De Hoya.
Algieri has never been inside the ring with a super boxee such as Pacquiao." You want some Algieri come get some."
Pacquiao wins fight in sixth round by knockout.The first two rounds will be close as they get the feel for each other.the third round will be a big round for Chris the fourth will be close.In the fifth round Manny will have him figured out and start to land consistently and mid way through the sixth will knock him down.He will get up,but Manny will be all over him and he will quickly drop a second time never to get up before the count !!!
Pac by UD. No knockdowns, no knockouts. It'd be same old Pacquiao without the KO power.
Me too.........That would be a good test for Manny as Broner "The Clone" thinks he's just like Mayweather. Manny wins, but looks sloppy beating Algeria.
Paq will beat Algiers by dismantling him stage by stage ,he's just to experienced and Algiers has never been in the ring with a master, I would love him to fight that ego tripper Broner ,then clean up mayweather
It's not going to be a piece of cake for Pacquiao, that's my opinion.
Pac close UD
Pac
I think Pacquiao will win by UD.
I can see Algieri imposing his height and reach in the early rounds and winning a few on the scorecards.
But as the fight goes on Manny will catch on and star to take over. Pacquiao is good at making adjustments.
BQ: if not Floyd who should Pacquiao fight next? I'd like to see him beat adrien broner senseless.
If you are looking for a place to watch it we will be showing it at the Iron Bull in wallingford.
The old one has too boxing speed for the young gun .
