Manny Pacquiao’s coach, Freddie Roach predicted that the Filipino boxing icon will knock out his opponent the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr., in the highly anticipated May 2 showdown of the world’s most popular boxing superstars, Mayweather and Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
According to the veteran coach and former boxer Freddie Roach, he thinks Floyd Mayweather doesn’t have the legs anymore to move around the ring, as he predicted that Manny Pacquiao will catch the undefeated American boxer and knock him out.
The statement of Coach Freddie Roach came after the pronouncement made by Floyd Mayweather Sr., the father of Manny’s opponent, that his son will have an easy night against Manny Pacquiao but Roach believes Manny will have the edge against Mayweather.
Freddie Roach pointed out that Floyd Mayweather’s age is a factor on his fight with Manny Pacquiao, he turned 38 on Wednesday while Manny Pacquiao is “fresher” at the age of 36 according to Roach.
The well-decorated coach, Freddie Roach noted that he’s been watching Floyd Mayweather’s career, and the undefeated boxer definitely slowed down, although Manny also slowed down because of age but Manny’s legs are fresher compared to Floyd as what the coach noted during the last fight of Pacquiao against Chris Algieri in Macau wherein the Filipino boxing icon floored the American not only once.
Coach Roach also added that he considered Mayweather as a defensive master but his team is now trying to figure out their offensive moves as soon as the American boxer take some rest inside the ring and Pacquiao will unleash his offensive strategy against Mayweather.
