Their combined weight might be less than one giant heavyweight, but Manny and (Juan) Manuel promise us a true classic.
Manny’s prediction that Juan won’t last three rounds looks rather unrealistic. The Mexican comes to this fight on a thirteen winning streak, and has actually been physically preparing for it, even longer than Manny. He’ll need all of that physical conditioning because Manny has proved he’s a powerful force to be respected in the featherweight division. And the Mexican will need to stem a tide, namely a tidal wave.
On the other hand, Manny is certainly NOT going to have such an easy night as last November when he savaged Marco Antonio Barrera. Barrera was not concentrating on the job at hand.
