FIGHT NIGHT

Many can testify that boxing has lost its shine in recent years, but in the last few months, the richest fight of all time has been developing. This fight has been dubbed “The Fight of the Century” by the boxing community and is drawing the public’s eyes back into boxing.  The cocky American persona of Floyd Mayweather Jr. will meet in the ring with the noble Filipino Manny Pacquiao this Saturday night in what is the biggest event to come to Las Vegas. The fight's outcome is in the air right now. It seems that everyone has a different idea on the winner of the fight. Some argue that Mayweather’s tough defense will win him the fight against the offensive Pacquiao.

Personally, I think Pacquiao will come out on top. The fight will not end early, and PacMan’s fast hands will tire out Mayweather.  Mayweather’s tough defense must be picked apart by Pacquiao, and lots of punches are the secret to Pacquiao’s victory.  Psychological hurdles are the only thing standing between Pacquiao and the win. He can keep his mental strength into the later rounds and strike when the gassed Mayweather slows down. Hitting counter punches is PacMan’s specialty. When Mayweather gets tired, he’ll let his guard down, and pretty much hand the win to Pacquiao.
