LAS VEGAS — The long wait is now over and millions are now gathering themselves to watch what is slated to be the fight of the century when Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao meet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday (May 2).
Floyd Is Ready to Box Like There Is No Tomorrow
Mayweather v Pacquiao fight picking up steamMayweather has proved, throughout his career, to be better than his rivals. He is currently in superb condition and ready to box like there is no tomorrow. It’s his signature way of fighting that has allowed him to be able to garner so many achievements, since he began boxing.
Mayweather Started at a Young Age
For those of you who are not aware, this 38-year-old athlete is part of a family of boxers. His father and uncle introduced him to the boxing world at a very young, and so good was his preparation that he was able to reach the top of the boxing sphere in a short period of time.
Of course, to reach the top, he had to go through few struggles, but this made him into the mentally strong person that he currently is.
Floyd’s Style Has Worked for Him
There are a lot of individuals who dislike the way this athlete fights, but so far, his style has worked for him. Floyd has mentioned that he performs the way he feels that he should. Hopefully, this boxing match will not turn into a Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfields fight, where one of the athletes bites off one of his opponent’s ears.
