Manny Pacquiao’s conditioning coach, Alex Ariza, expects Shane Mosley to begin breaking down by the fifth round of the upcoming fight which is scheduled for May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He feels Pacquiao will begin to overwhelm Mosley with speed and power by the midway point. Ariza saw the same thing happen in Mosley loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May or 2010. Mosley was very dangerous in the early rounds but then his stamina broke down after six rounds.
“This fight will not go the distance. I hardly ever predict fights. Freddie Roach is better at that then I am, but you will see many advantages for us in this fight, but the biggest one you will see will come in the fifth or sixth round and beyond,” Ariza wrote in his mpboxing.com blog.
Ariza also wrote that Mosley made a very big mistake by holding his training camp at the high altitude location of Big Bear, California.
"High altitude training not always good. "By the time Shane Mosley steps in the ring, his body will already have become accustomed to the lower altitude. Shane’s body will automatically get used to the higher levels of oxygen that you breathe in the lower climates. There will be no benefit to what Shane tried to accomplish… All Shane Mosley did was sacrifice muscle, strength, and speed for no reason,” Ariza said.
