the more i think about it the more i change my mind.
but i still fancy manny's penchant for darting left and chucking the backhand will really give floyd a lot of problems due to his shoulder up defence.
floyd won't have cortez in there as ref to help him cheat his way to victory either. bayliss takes no s
t either.
WWWAAAAARRRRRRR PACQUIAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what time do people think the actual fight itself will start GMT?
I'm setting my alarm for 0400hrs...
Anywhere between 4-5 I reckon. Imagine splashing out mega bucks on tickets, and it's a first round stoppage....I'm setting my alarm for 0400hrs...

EDIT: Just checked ESB, and ring walks confirmed to be NO EARLIER than 5am GMT. I reckon for this fight it'll be closer to 6am though!

I'm waking up to watch this and from previous experience, every big fight in Vegas doesn't actually start until about 5-530am. Anyone else noticed that?

Think I will get up at 3am and then watch the prelims, FF all the guff in between and hopefully be on time
Just on ladbrokes & 7/4 on Manny to win by TKO stoppage & not go the distance!
I have to throw a bit on to make sure I stay awake !
its on Sunday @ 10am, 12pm, 4.30 pm(?0 ,7pm & 10pm on Virgin but I want to see the result not hear it & then watch! So gald we have an impartial ref, I liked Roach's comments that if Mayweather wants to use the elbow etc we have planned for that...
Never seen Manny so relaxed & happy, at the press conference he says Dont worry its easy !!

No need for me to set the alarm then - the children usually start jumping on the bed around that time so business as usual
Pacquiao just been tested again.. 13 times now and no word/pics/videos of Mayweather being tested or how many times.

Ok, I need to ask my PH friends about this one. Sky Sports have put up an article of how to beat Mayweather here
![](http://e1.365dm.com/15/04/16-9/20/scorecard-de-la-hoya-mayweather_3296676.jpg?20150429154234)
It says in the article that De La Hoya was ahead at the halfway point. But from what I can see the first two judges have it level and Tom has Mayweather in front. Am I being stupid?
