WAY TO BEAT EACH OTHER: PACQUIAO VS. MAYWEATHER By Reni M. Valenzuela PhilBoxing.com Wed, 25 Mar 2015  Don?t fight Floyd if you only want to win. Freddie Roach must be in serious condition as he is reportedly devising a tactic for his pupil to win every round versus the sharp shooter of boxing. How can Manny Pacquiao or any boxer of this generation do that to a Floyd Mayweather Jr. without first handcuffing him? Pac beats Floyd by nullifying a ?brave? style to penetrate a wall filled with dread. And it can?t be done with a mindset to ?win? every round. Pacquiao has the tool and he has it to obliterate a fortress. Defensive scoring is Mayweather?s expertise and strength. Therefore get him to engage in ?exchanges? and Floyd will be helpless fighting his fight. The American boxing ?lord? is comfortably the sport?s Ninja Turtle. His chance of winning is always the same. How he won all his 47 professional fights is how he can win the contest versus Pacquiao. Mayweather simply has to be ?Mayweather? to sustain his winning streak. He can?t be unnatural and expect to retain his ?zero? and retire unbeaten The question for Roach to ask is not how Pacquiao could beat Mayweather, but how Pacquiao would KO Mayweather. Pacman can be a Marvin Haggler, but not by imitating his movement or style. Haggler was constantly advancing in a fight and that?s the point. Pac has to have the fire of a Mike Tyson from the opening round, but the perseverance of an Evander Holyfield towards the end of the stretch. You don?t leave the knockout to chance if it is Floyd you?re up against. Pacman and his team must throw away the idea of a second ?Mayeather vs. Pacquiao? lest they focus on money and thereby err in strategizing a game plan. There is little possibility for Mayweather to lose by points. Note that. And if he wins by decision against an ill-prepared Pacquiao, the ?astute? promoter would be alone to sing his tune, or would vainly call for a second dance. No rematch. Be aware that both Pacquiao and Mayweather want to win. The biggies and the rest around them just want to fatten their wallets more from a rematch or rematches. To Roach, Michael Koncz and Bob Arum: Why purpose to defeat Floyd if your chief concern is merely to score points, or give way to greed? Innocent cash cows and the Mafias rule the game. Who will expect Pacquiao to be victorious on May 2nd apart from an aim to knock a barrier down? What adjustment can Mayweather make against multiple blinding combinations except do a ?toe-to-toe? and sway to Pac?s rock and roll music? When that happens, Floyd will fall, or at best, the ref will run for the rescue. Mayweather Sr. will have to wonder and ponder how many of Pacquiao?s power shots can his Junior take, if he cares. If Pacman?s handlers will get it truly right for their rooster in the MGM ?La Loma? cockpit, amid the noise and confusion of a stunned crowd, the Derby of the Century won?t last the distance. No rematch. The Filipino icon must train like he?s fighting for his dear life without a basketball in his left hand. He should ?starve? himself good enough during training to feel the urge and ferociousness of a hungry boar, wearing gloves and hotly pursuing. The way to beat Mayweather is to KO Mayweather, at least with that determined goal in mind. The knockout ought to be intentional. Everybody lost to Mayweather because everybody just wanted to win. 47 have tried but failed. So know what the 47 did and do the opposite. The Mega Bout for Pacquiao involves his heart, not just his fists. But for Mayweather, it?s his ego. During the fight?s LA press conference, Floyd lectured: ?Winning is in the mind.? Wrong, it?s in the heart. And it?s in that place where Mayweather has issues and struggles to this date, now that he?ll be facing the one boxer he never ever wanted to face. Finally, it is Pacquiao who has significant reshaping to make in order to win, not Mayweather. And it?s a tall order for the fellow Filipino to be on the offensive mode every second and minute of each round. Single mindedness and aggression to stop Money within halfway is the key to a Manny win - via knockout, or by whipping a ?hometown decision.? Do it differently and you?ll not end up similarly. Will Pacman fail his people? Be exciting. renimvalenzuela@yahoo.com Click here to view a list of other articles written by Reni M. Valenzuela.  |
