Pacquiao vs. Mosley: May 7th is history in the making

“There are a lot of fans that don’t believe that I can do it. Maybe because of the last couple of fights, but things have changed and I feel great; I feel good. I’m just ready to go.”

Pacquiao vs. Mosley

I believe Sugar Shane Mosley when he said that. And with the kind of push and motivation, challenge, training, conditioning, preparation and sacrifices he has had heading to his forthcoming showdown with the heavy favorite boxing master Pacman, he is most likely to win the bout but well against the opponents who defeated him or serve him a draw in the past from Vernon Forrest to Sergio Mora if he will be given a chance to turn the clock back and do it again.

But against a Manny Pacquiao on May 7, it’s an entirely different story.

This is to bring up a couple of main points: One is Pacquiao will beat a Mosley in his prime. Two is even the best Mosley that Mosley can summon from himself at any given time in his career as a professional boxer, doing everything he needs to do to fight a Manny Pacquiao at the top of his game such as the transforming vicious one we have today and whom Mosley would engage in a war a few days from now, Sugar Shane and his camp would then finally find out and “sweetly” realize in less than twelve rounds on fight night why most people and experts in the sport say that Pacquiao would win and even capably deliver their man the first and only knockout loss in his record.

The Pacman is history in the making. His story isn’t finished yet and Mosley just happens to be a part of that fascinating saga of a great sports legend. And as in a classical movie masterpiece, it would be anti-climactic to say at this point that Pacquiao is already the best and greatest boxer of all time. We are nearing the end, though.

Decades or centuries from now, we all will be considered “lucky” and blessed by the future generations because we have in our generation a man who is rare to come in a lifetime or lifetimes.

Pacquiao vs Mosley: Speed Versus Quickness

One interesting take on this weekend’s blockbuster matchup between Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao and ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley is pitting Pacquiao’s overall speed advantage against Mosley’s quick and powerful right hand. We’ve already compared their power and durability and have agreed that Pacquiao owns both departments, but today let’s take a look at speed.

They say speed kills and Pacquiao has made a killing by showing the world what first class speed looks like and how it completely trumps anything opponents have to offer. But will Pacquiao’s speed be effective against a savvy ring veteran like Mosley with killer speed of his own?

Gone are the days when Pacquiao was simply thought of as one-dimensional, today he uses both his hands with equal power and speed. It’s a given, Pacquiao has been blazing fast since the world first took notice of him over 10 years ago in the Bantamweight division, after destroying then elite opposition in Lenoholo Ledwaba. Since then he has used his speed quite effectively in dismantling the best of the best of the sport. Probably none more so than Oscar Dela Hoya.

Prior to the Dela Hoya fight, it was the general consensus that Pacquiao would be too small to face ‘The Golden Boy’. That Pacquiao’s speed would not be enough of an advantage to overcome the huge disparity in size and weight. I for one, was nervously watching in my seat prior to the opening bell, afraid that Dela Hoya would simply be too large for our Pinoy hero.

Boy was I wrong.

Oscar Dela Hoya had the advantage in nearly every category prior to witnessing the colossal upset. Power, size, chin, experience, skills and overall ring generalship were his and he was able to use none of it. None of it! Pacquiao only had speed to his advantage and he used that to completely take Dela Hoya out of his game.

After that, Pacquiao went on to use that same speed in taking apart Hatton, Cotto, Clottey and Margarito.

And it’s not just the hand speed we’re talking about here, it’s more of the overall fleetness of the feet. Pacquiao has that invaluable ability to dart in and launch a flurry of powerful attacks and dart back out or circle away and out of harms way before the counter-attack is initiated. This is something Mosley has to find the answer to once he finally gets a taste of Pacquiao’s freakish speed advantage.

Shane Mosley is no pushover either. His hand speed, even pushing 40 years of age (and experience), is still top notch in the business and is good enough to catch even Floyd Mayweather, who sports the one of the best defenses in Boxing.

In the 2nd round of their fight nearly a year ago, he caught Mayweather with a lead right hand and momentarily buckled the self proclaimed G.O.A.T. Mayweather hung on for dear life. Moments after that, Mosley wobbled him again with the same punch.

Watch the round in slow motion, check out the replay. Mayweather was in complete defensive mode before the punch landed. He had his shoulder ready to roll and deflect, his eyes locked on to Mosley with heightened awareness, expecting Mosley to launch a straight right hand. Mosley’s right hand was so fast and snappy, though telegraphed, it broke right through the defense and for a few seconds separated Mayweather from his senses.

That was Mosley’s chance to score the upset, but lack of agression and the lack of a follow up attack forced him to miss that chance and Mayweather went on to cruise to a shutout in the succeeding rounds.

Still, Mosley’s hand speed is quick enough to catch Manny Pacquiao and if he does, he can end it in one punch.

So which will prove to be a bigger factor come fight night, Manny Pacquiao’s furiously speedy attack, or Shane Mosley’s quickness of the hands?

The answer is obvious. Pacquiao’s speed will once again be the difference in this fight. He’ll be out of there before Mosley can even think about countering. Pacquiao’s speed is what makes him special and everyone knows it. We can take David Diaz’s word for it, “He’s just too fast!”.

But I think Max Kellerman said it best, right after the Cotto fight.

“Whatever your gameplan is, Pacquiao will take you completely out of it.”

Advantage: Once again, Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao vs. Mosley sold out!

The May 7th bout between Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley has reportedly officially sold out for the venue at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s really not all that surprising given how small the MGM Grand is.

The seating capacity is only 16800, so it’s not as if they were trying to fill the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Even some of the lesser big named stars could likely fill out the MGM Grand. This fight is considered a mega fight, but I don’t see it as that.

Unless the fight does incredibly well on pay-per-view then I’m seeing this fight as one of Pacquiao’s typical fights where he’s the main draw against some hapless opponent who doesn’t have much of a chance to win. Mosley isn’t a big draw on his own, something we’ve seen in his fights that haven’t involved big stars like Oscar De La Hoya or Miguel Cotto.

If the Pacquiao-Mosley fight brings in big numbers, it’s because of Pacquiao and the marketing of the fight on CBS/Showtime with their Pacquiao-Mosley Fight Camp 360 episodes. Those episodes are probably going to be the real test for the casual boxing fans.

If they like what they see, then they’ll buy this fight in droves. If not, then they’ll stay away and ignore it. I got to say I really hated the first Pacquiao-Mosley Fight Camp 360 episode. Talk about boring. I was almost asleep after the first 10 painfully boring minutes. I had to chug some coffee just to stay awake and watch the whole thing.

There just wasn’t any charisma with these two fighters. Talk about wooden characters. They need a director to get some life in them. If I was the director of the series I would have been barking myself horse trying to get them to show some expressions on their faces.

Mosley looks tired all the time, and Pacquiao is showing no emotion. Someone needs to light a firecracker under their backsides to get some life into them. I wouldn’t want to purchase the Pacquiao-Mosley fight on PPV looking at those two lifeless fighters. The director of the series needs to whip some emotions into those two.

Pacquiao vs Mosley: Comparing the Knockout Power

A week before the May 7th showdown between Welterweights Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38KO) versus ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39KO), we take a look at the key points for each fighter and examine scenarios in which a victory is possible. Today we have a comparison based on the power they possess in each hand.

In his hayday, Shane Mosley was a feared puncher who had speed and velocity on his punches aside from devastating knockout power. The last time we saw it however was over two years ago when he physically dismantled disgraced boxer Antonio Margarito. Still, Mosley packs a whallop in his shots and is easily the strongest puncher Pacquiao will have faced so far. Perhaps the most glaring question would be is if he can sustain that type of speed and power throughout the entire 12 rounds as Pacquiao may look to drag Shane into deep waters. Shane’s recent contests against Floyd Mayweather and Sergio Mora suggest that he may just fade in the later rounds for this one. Mosley’s best punch is the overhand right and if it’s fast enough to catch Floyd Mayweather, who has the best defense in the game, it’s fast enough to catch Pacquiao.

On the other hand, Pacquiao doesn’t have that ‘one-punch’ knockout power that he possessed in the lower weight classes. Contrary to popular belief, his power hasn’t carried on well in the higher weight class. It’s not his fault however, it’s that these fighters in the Welterweight division have better punch resistance. I’m not saying Pacquiao is a weak puncher by any means. The man has bad intentions with each shot and he throws nearly a thousand of them every fight – most of which do land. Pacquiao’s best weight however is still 140 lbs despite making easy work of Dela Hoya, Cotto, Clottey and Margarito. What Pacquiao does have however, is volume punching and with just the right amount of power he overwhelms and suffocates his opponents producing the TKO’s and KO’s we’ve seen him collect over the past few years. This is also due largely in part to his vastly improved right hand.

Therein lies the difference between the two fighters, Mosley can end the fight in a single punch and Pacquiao will force you to quit on your stool with the endless pressure – accurate pressure at that. At this point, I don’t think Shane will be able to carry his power into the later rounds, as we saw in the Mayweather fight. And Pacquiao may as well wait for him to tire out before picking him apart. Pacquiao has made a career showcasing fight ending flurries and he gets more accurate every time out. Both fighters have awesome power in their own right. The question here isn’t who packs more of it, it’s who will be most effective with it.

Because of Mosley’s big overhand right, he has that mystique surrounding him that he can turn the fight around at any moment, and thus this gives him the proverbial ‘puncher’s chance’. But at 39 years of age, he’s been in the sport a long time and his decline has reared its ugly face in his last few fights. The chance is slim and father time is definitely not on his side. Stamina will be a huge factor and once Mosley runs out of it, it’s cue for Pacquiao to put the pedal to the metal and get him out of there.

On the flipside, physically, Pacquiao has also shown some slight decline but this is due to his climb in weight and not necessarily to time’s inevitable effect on a fighter. Yes, he is a step slower but that’s not saying much as he is still faster by a mile than any fighter he is pitted against, both in hand speed and on his feet. What Pacquiao has done well is that he’s balanced his declining physical gifts with better technique and ring intelligence making his combinations more accurate and thus increasing the effectiveness of his power.

Expect Mosley to look for a big shot to end the fight, he may have trouble finding it though. Pacquiao’s in and out style will make it difficult for him. He has to time Pacquiao on his way in and launch a counter punch.

Pacquiao just needs to keep doing what he’s been doing and that’s launch intelligent and accurate combinations at different angles. It’s when he does this that he produces knockouts. They say the punches you can’t see are the ones that do the most damage. You can bet your house that he’ll catch Mosley with more than one of these when they finally throw down.

Advantage: Manny Pacquiao

Shawn Porter Says Manny Pacquiao Is Ready for Mosley

Undefeated Akron, Ohio-based prospect Shawn Porter (18-0, 13 KO) was in camp with Manny Pacquiao in November 2009, serving as the Filipino icon’s chief sparring partner for a fight with Miguel Cotto. In that fight, Pacquiao overwhelmed Cotto and stopped him late. Porter, 23, is back in camp as Pacquiao puts the final touches on his training for a May 7 with “Sugar” Shane Mosley, and he says that Pacquiao has been better this time around.

Porter: “He’s picking it up, man, he’s looking good. I think Manny’s a strong, fast fighter, very quick. I think he’s going to use his quickness and his speed. I think he’s going to wear Mosley down. … I don’t see Shane being stopped. He’s never been stopped before. But I think if anyone’s gonna do it, it’ll be Manny.”

Here’s another video of Pacquiao working his abs yesterday with strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza overseeing the workout.
