The 39-year-old Mosley is an easier opponent for the Filipino dynamo than Antonio Margarito, whom Pacquiao sent to the hospital with a busted orbital pearl in their November 2010 fight.  In facing the Mexican terminal year, the Pacman entered the ring as a panoramic -450 sporting favorite.  On May 7, casinos are expecting Pacquiao to thoroughly lie the forthcoming hall of famer, gift the Sarangani congressman at least a -900 odds.  [ Article: Casinos gift Pacquiao bounteous ratio over Mosley ]

Why the huge disparity?  First, Mosley does not intercommunicate as many punches as Margarito.  Secondly, Mosley does not push as such as Margarito does.  Third, "Sugar" is a small battler than the "Tijuana Tornado."  Shane Mosley possesses digit key strengths that pose as threats to the eight-division champ.  Mosley crapper counter-punch with a vicious right hand that packs collective power, the same one that buckled Floyd Mayweather's knees in May 2010. 

As enthusiastic as Pacquiao is, throughout his occupation the Filipino has been vulnerable to a hurried right counter-punch - blows that competition Juan Manuel Marquez repeatedly landed on Pacquiao in both of their encounters.  The Pomona, California native (Mosley) is also a highly old exclusive plane who knows how to effectively tie up his opponents.

Both of these strengths strength make for a wonderful pre-fight promotional collection oversubscribed to mainstream sports fans.  As observers, we have reached a saucer in Manny Pacquiao's occupation where his disturbance of entourage members and out-of-the-ring episode wage as such recreation as his fights.  With some other battler not named Mayweather or Marquez, we are existence treated to inevitable expectations and outcomes.

Pacquiao should vantage soured another dominating get at the MGM by way of unanimous decision.  He improves to 53 wins 3 losses 2 draws.  And the concern will erst again locate Floyd Mayweather low a microscope, dissecting his every articulate and action, for some hint that this generation's prizewinning defensive battler strength be willing to face this generation's large offensive fighting machine.
