Will Catch with a Big Shot Early?
has been known to start a little slow at times in his career. "Sugar" Shane Mosley landed a big shot on Money in the second round of their bout, stunned him in the fourth round, and Judah got the best of him early.
But like every other opponent, those three lost their attempts to beat .
Still, their relative success has to give some hope of landing a sport-changing punch early.
There's one thing to ponder, though. Even if lands a shot against , it'll likely take more than just one to finish him. Though he's rarely had to show it because of his brilliant defense, has a pretty good chin.
He's never been down in his career.
Mitch Abramson of The New York Times told Lem Satterfield of The Ring Magazine: "I see Marcos having success early on but as the fight goes into the later rounds, I see Floyd taking over, frustrating and maybe getting an easy unanimous decision."
That seems like a logical prediction for the bout.
Will Look for the Stoppage?

"I love accomplishing certain things. That's a part of my legacy, of course, but I don't go in there just winning this belt. I want to look impressive and I want to put on a good show and we don't look for this fight to go the distance
"
Despite the fact that has never been stopped and that isn't a knockout fighter, a stoppage win for isn't out of the question.
This fight could unfold similar to the way his bout with Ricky Hatton did in 2007.
will put on constant pressure, but his aggressiveness might cause him to run into a well-timed counter that ends the night.
Follow me. I'm addicted to the sweet science.
