Pacquiao to knockout Mosley
Sunday, January 2, 2011
Coach Freddie Roach is convinced that the 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao will do what other boxers had not done to the 3-division world champion Shane Mosley: A knockout.
According to Roach, Mosley is not an easy opponent in the ring but he is confident that Pacquiao has the necessary strength and speed that will bring the former world champion down.
"Shane is a very durable guy. He has a good chin. It won’t be easy but I think we can stop him in the late rounds. It won’t be an easy fight. When he beat Margarito, everyone thought he was the best fighter at welterweight. We’re going to train very hard for this fight. We don’t take any opponent lightly," Roach added.
The 39-year-old Shane Mosley has only one loss and that was with his fight against Vernon Forrest last 2002. But he was defeated through a decision and not by a knockout.
Oscar de la Hoya, Winky Wright, Ricardo Mayorga, Antonio Margarito, Fernando Vargas and Floyd Mayweather, Jr were among the few whom Mosley had fought with in the past.
Pacquiao Vs Mosley fight is scheduled on the 7th of May 2011 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
