BIG FIGHT PREDICTION
By Jack Figg
THESE ARE the fights boxing fans eagerly await – 50/50 bouts with no way of suggesting an obvious outcome.
I believe Broner has the ability to outwork a 40-year-old Pacman, however, he's had the tools to do that to most of his opponents.
Yet slow starts and neglecting his best assets, speed and volume punching, has meant Broner has lost or won unconvincingly.
They suggest, you are only as good as your last performance, in Broner’s case, against Jessie Vargas a familiar lethargic start meant his brilliant work down the stretch meant he could only muster a draw.
For Pacquiao, he knocked out Lucas Matthysse to win a world title, albeit a diluted version, but it showed at 40, and 69 fights old he can still outwork and devastated his opponents.
Broner has the ability and tools to suggest he can win, though, recent performances and results suggest Pacquiao will be too busy for the American.
For that reason, I predict a Majority-decision win for Pacquiao, with Broner’s late working causing the American to feel like he should have got the verdict.
- Verdict: Pacquiao via majority-decision
