Manny Pacquiao, 60-7-2, 39 KO’s, is close to sealing the deal with Adrien Broner, 33-3-1, 24 KO’s, in a high stake showdown that could lead to big money for the PacMan if he can come out with a victory. Broner has had a disappointing career after being deemed the next Floyd Mayweather, JR. Marcos Maidana sent home a message that he may not be the man that so many thought he was and then Shawn Porter and Mikey Garcia sent Broner’s career into a huge tailspin. He needs Pacquiao but can he take advantage of it?
Pacquiao, even at this advanced age, has incredible skill and still throws a lot of punches and that is the key to beating Broner. Every defeat on the Broner ledger has been due to a high volume fighter and he will have to figure out how to cope with that because the Pacman will try to follow the blueprint that is already there.
Legendary trainer and commentator Teddy Atlas had his thoughts expressed recently about the matchup to come and they were quite interesting…
