Round 7: Freddie Roach telling Pacquiao between rounds: "Combinations, he can't handle speed." Can Manny oblige in the seventh? Pacquiao not quite the all-action, intense force we've seen in recent fights. Mosley dropping the pace and maybe Manny still wary of that big Mosley right. Few boos from the crowd - they expect more from Manny. Better now from Pacquiao as he forces Shane to back up. But not landing anything too damaging. Struggling to pin Mosley down and get his punches off cleanly. Manny showing Mosley WAY to much respect. Like 2 mates laughing all the way to the bank at our expense! The over is now a cert.

Round 8: Pacquiao again boxing and the crowd definitely not happy. Now Manny winds up a big left but misses. Brought about by a right counter from Shane. Pacquiao just can't land cleanly at the moment. The only time he really did, he dropped Shane. The way Mosley has controlled the pace has definitely helped him big-time at the age of 39. He's always been pretty strong in the closing stages, will it be the same here tonight? Manny trying to work the body now. Right from Mosley but Manny covers up. More boos as Manny collects another round. If Manny can't pin a 39 year old Mosley down he has NO chance against Mayweather!
