Kayang-kaya ni Manny si Algieri - Somodio

Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines - Kayang-kayang talunin ni Manny Pacquiao si Chris Algieri sa kanilang upakan sa Nobyembre 22 sa The Venetian sa Macau, China.

Ito ang sinabi ni Marvin Somodio, ang Filipino training assistant ni Freddie Roach, base sa kanyang napanood na laban nina Ruslan Provodnikov at Algieri noong Hunyo.

“I think it will be an easy fight for Manny as long as he’s in good condition,” ani Somodio.  “Algieri has no power and if it goes the distance, nobody can outscore Manny when it comes to volume punching.”

Si Somodio ay nasa corner ni Provodnikov nang matalo ang Russian kay Algieri via split 12-round decision sa New York.

Dalawang beses bumagsak si Algieri sa first round at nalampasan ang pamamaga ng kanyang kanang mata para manalo.

Ayon kay Somodio, si Provodnikov ang dapat nanalo at hindi si Algieri.

“After knocking down Algieri twice in the first round, Ruslan focused on scoring a knockout and that’s why he got a little tensed,” wika ni Somodio.  “Algieri has a good jab if you let him get away with it.  But if you strike first or counter him right away, he won’t be able to throw the jab consistently and he’ll think twice before jabbing.  Manny is good at countering the jab.  If you notice in Manny’s previous fights, he does a good job of neutralizing an opponent’s jab with his left.  And Manny is a lot faster than Ruslan.”

Sinabi pa ni Somodio na kung magkakaroon ng rematch sina Provodnikov at Algieri, kumpiyansa siyang mananalo ang Russian.

“We’ll prepare a better gameplan,” wika nito.  “Besides, I think Algieri didn’t really win their first fight.  Ruslan deserved to win. Algieri threw more jabs but Ruslan’s punches were more effective.”

Sa pag-akyat ni Algieri ng weight division para labanan si Pacquiao, naniniwala si Somodio na makakaiskor si ‘Pacman’ ng knockout win.

“Algieri is just a lightwelterweight,” sabi ni Somodio.  “With his size, it’s very possible that Manny will knock him out.”

Hindi pa nakakaiskor si Pacquiao ng knockout win sapul nang talunin si Miguel Cotto noong 2009.
