Manny Pacquiao verses Shane Mosley, 24 hours to go: Boxing News
There is a lot of work to be done from the planner’s point of view to deal with the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley. The World Welterweight Title will be at stake on Saturday 7th May.
Freddie Roach, the trainer of Pacman is trying to ensure that the Filipino star is full of confidence. He has to go with slightly changed game-plan this time against 'Sugar' Shane Mosley to dominate the early rounds. In this way it would be easy for him
to capture the Mosley's power and strength.
During the final press conference both the fighters will be shaking their hands as they spoke to the reporters. In that session the trainer of Pacquiao, Roach said, "At this age, can Mosley still move for 12 rounds?"
The 39-year old, Mosley knocked himself out in the first round against Floyd Mayweather Jr. But in the second round of this bout Mosley came like a giant to win and prove that he is the rocking star. However, Mosley faced the first ever loss of his
career while losing to a lopsided decision. No one could win the knocked out decision against him.
Talking seriously, Mosley is not underestimating the strength and power abilities of the Filipino Pride. He knows how and when to use his energy. He got the plus point of being the three inches higher than Pacquiao.
Mosley's corner-man, Naazim Richardson, has been excellent since his joining to the party. He has proven his effectiveness before that in the ring.
Richardson said, “I have a solid game plan in place, I have the right athlete for this.”
Mosley should not try to compete with the Pacquiao hand speed but have to come up with original Shane Mosley in better form.
Pomona's national, Mosley is very passionate to prove once again what made him great to the public.
Someone asked Roach what does he feels about his bout and whether he is taking this bout as an easy task. He said just two words in response “Should be.”
However, Roach has analysed Mosley's weaknesses. He has been found to be struggling against the high speeders in his past few fights. He is still having problems with his foot-work and movement.
