On Saturday, May 7 2011, Manny Pacquiao will step into the ring across Shane Mosley. The excitement is pumping into Las Vegas as many await to see if Mosley will be able to triumph over Pacquiao. Many Pacman supporters praise the boxer as being the greatest fighter to step into the ring since Mohammed Ali. While others are showing a hint of worry.
Is it possible? Could Shane Mosley be the first man to upset the current WBO Welterweight Champion? Since September 2006, Manny Pacquiao has been consistently in the ring no more than six months between each fight. Tasting sweet victory 13 consecutive times. However, in his last two fights Pacquiao failed to get a finish, instead giving the matches to the judges. Could it be that he's reached his peak? Will he have enough in him to give an aggressive fight against Mosley -who's been out of the ring for a year in recovery and training mode since his loss to Mayweather, Jr.?
I believe that accuracy in their strikes and counters will be key. Both fighters have had their share of success, but with these two anything is possible. I doubt this fight will go the distance. I just see no way either fighter will want to take that kind of punishment from each other for 12 rounds. You have Pacquiao with a heavy plate; to win not only for himself or his fans, but for his country. You got Mosley as the underdog, who has the chance to pull off one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.
No big deal.
Either way, this fight should prove to be exciting... each and every round. I don't see either man holding back.
