Mosley reviews Pacquiao-Marquez fight tapes

MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao’s challenger, former world champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley, is confident of his chances against the Filipino boxing superstar.
Mosley said he has seen the Filipino champion’s fights against elite Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez, and he told Fighthype.com’s Ben Thompson that he spotted things he can capitalize on when he fights the Filipino boxer on May 7.
“I watch[ed] everything to see how he moves, what's he's successful at, what he's not successful at, you know? I pretty much watch[ed] it all,” said the 39-year-old Mosley, who has held several world titles in 3 weight classes.
Marquez, known for his technical fighting skills, gave Pacquiao the stiffest competition during the Filipino’s ascent to multi-division championships.
In 2004, the Mexican secured a controversial draw against Pacquiao despite being knocked down 3 times early in the fight.
Four years later, the two battled again in a closely fought rematch with Pacquiao winning by split decision.
“I just finished watching him fight Marquez the second time,” said Mosley.
Mosley said that his punching power, combined with the “openings” he saw in Pacquiao’s fighting style could spell the Filipino champion’s doom.
“I'm pretty sure I'm going to be pretty good with landing a lot of punches on him,” said the American boxer. “Once I hit him, he's not going to feel nothing like this before (sic).”
Mosley, who will be challenging Pacquiao for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title, already began sparring with several boxers in preparation for the fight.
“I've been sparring with everybody basically. They put 'em in one at a time and everybody does a round with me; one round and then I go to the next guy. They go as hard as they can go and then another guy comes in the next round,” he explained.
Pacquiao himself was scheduled to spar on Tuesday.
The Filipino champion is currently training in Baguio City together with esteemed boxing coach, Freddie Roach.
Pacquiao, who won 8 world titles in 8 weight classes, has 52 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws.
Mosley, on the other hand, has a professional record of 46 wins, 6 losses and a draw.

The Welterweight Division has a weight limit of 147 pounds but since both camp agreed to fight at a “catch-weight”, the weight limit will be at 144 pounds. If someone is above the weight limit, he will be penalized and pay a huge amount to the opponent.

Manny Pacquiao, a congressman in the Philippines, has been fighting in the higher weight classes lately. He is on a 14 winning streak and his fight last November 2010, against Antonio Margarito, was the highest weigh division he’s been, at 154 lbs.

Marquez won two straight fights and his last defeat was against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September 2009. He is scheduled to a tune-up fight against David Diaz in July but the negotiations fell because of money issues. This time, Marquez is looking for opponents that will not give too much risk.

Marquez will get $5 million plus PPV incentives while Pacman is expected to get $15 million. If Juan Manuel wins the Marquez vs Pacquiao fight, he will fight Manny again in May 2011 and his guaranteed money will become $10 million.
