@Yaunfitda. Pacman's advantage has always been his speed. This will very much depend on how steong are his knees. If he can maintain the strength of his knees for 12 rounds, he will certainly have a bigger chance than the expectation of the oddsmakers.

In any case, for this bet on Pacman I do not care if I will lose because being a fan, this might be the last time I can bet on him hehehehe.
I reckon he can sustain for full 12 rounds, Manny is not known to have week stamina or knees, although there was fight that he had cramps in his tree trunk legs and calves but it could be due to poor rehydration. As for the speed, yes that's always his advantage in his every fight. But the thing is that even if his opponents know that he has that speed, they really downplayed it to the point that they don't believed it. But during the fight we all know that speed kills and all of his opponents eats their word after. Hopefully Barrios will not fall for that trap, otherwise he will be the next victim and say that he can't see where the punches are coming from. It might not be as hard, but the speed and overtime they will be soften up by Manny in 12 rounds and then win by decision.

Agreed that Pacman's knees can sustain  for 12 rounds, however, my argument was will his knees be very much similar to when he was younger where the footwork and speed on round 1 is sustainable until round 12. I reckon the fight against Keith  Thurman has made everyone witness that his knees are not anymore making him bouncing beginning on round 6 or 7. He cannot anymore step out quickly and avoid Thurman's punches on his head.
