Manny Pacquiao is scheduled to face Shane Mosley. The Pacquiao vs Mosley fight will happen on May 7, 2011 on MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Freddy Roach believes this will be Manny toughest fight to date due to Mosley handspeed and power. While many boxing fans are not so happy about Pacquiao vs Mosley fight. And the reason is, Shane Mosley (39 years old) is way past his prime and has not produced an exciting boxing match in lately. Mosleys last two fights he has shown all the signs of an aging fighter. Mosley fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. we saw his lack of stamina and the amount of punches he throws. Although he did hurt Mayweather Jr. in the second round he did not have the strength or stamina to finish him off. Pacquiao with his speed, his ability, and his power he will just overwhelm Mosley with his hand speed, foot speed and amazing stamina giving Mosley a hard time early on.
Many boxing fans believe Pacquiao will be the heavy favorite. He has won his last 13 fights, most of them against taller, bigger, heavier and stronger opponents. His 12-round destruction of Antonio Margarito gave him his eighth world title in as many divisions. Manny Pacquiao key to victory in this fight will be to utilize his footwork and avoid the ropes as much as possible. Sugar Shane will need to force Pacquiao to fight Mosley fight early as Mosley has shown stamina problems in the later rounds in the past.
Shane Mosley is going to throw a more punches from all different angles. Mosley will also need to be effective with the jab and attack the body of Pacquiao. He is much bigger than Manny is, he has a great jaw. We saw Sugar Shane Mosley catch Floyd early on with some hard shots and he almost knock down Floyd. The only thing I worried about is his stamina. That is because of his age his already 39 years old and I think he can only last around up to four or five rounds.
The
Pacquiao vs Mosley is expected to be very entertaining the in the early rounds of the fight. Lets see if Pacquiao continues to dominate with his speed and power.
