TSS Universe, we want to hear your keys to victory, what you think will be the difference makers on Saturday night, when we see if Robert Guerrero will be the first man to get the better of Floyd Mayweather in the ring, in a professional prize fight.
Showtime’s Al Bernstein of the Boxing Channel touched on what he thinks will be key in Las Vegas on Saturday, on Showtime PPV.
Bernstein tells us that Guerrero hopped up two weight divisions to beat welterweight Selcuk Aydin, and then Andre Berto. The Hall of Fame analyst said Guerrero was “rough” against Berto. Bernstein referenced Floyd’s age, 36, and questioned whether a long layoff will bother the pound for pound ace.
Ghost must push Floyd to the ropes, where he can mug him, Bernstein said. But he shouldn’t smother himself, and he should use his lefty stance to his advantage, as Victor Ortiz did not. Floyd, now an older fighter, must keep things in center ring, where he can more easily throw combos. He must be active with his right hand to get the W.
Bernstein also touched on Guerrero’s arrets in NY and wondered whether that could be a fatal distraction. “He has tremendous resolve when he needs it,” Bernstein said, but could this all be too much for him? Floyd wants to make a bang in his Showtime debut, Bernstein said, and he expects it to be a “historic night in boxing.”
Readers…your turn. What are the keys to victory for Mayweather and Guerrero, as you see them? Your two cents, in our fabled Forum, please.
