Fellow Filipino says speed is the key for “Pacman”

With just over 36 hours to go until the mega-fight between seven-weight world champion Manny “Pacman” Pacquaio and three-weight title winner “Sugar” Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, unified bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire has stated his big-fight prediction.

The 28 year-old, who is yet to finalize his next fight date after a contract wrangle with his promoters Top Rank, believes that the WBO welterweight title fight will the go full twelve rounds, with his fellow countryman coming out on top with a unanimous points victory on Saturday night.

“That's going to be a hell of a fight,” Donarie told examiner.com.

“I think Pacquiao is going to get it. Mosley is a tough fighter but I see it as speed and offense for Manny Pacquiao all the way through for a unanimous decision.

"Mosley is going to try to do his last hurrah," he explained. "I think that Mosley, he can still bring it out there. He still has the speed and the power, definitely. But I think that Manny has this incredible speed as well as power."
