Fourteen of his last 20 fights have went to the judges and his fighting style tends to lead to 12-round fights. Mayweather is a counter striker that stays patient and doesn’t get into brawls. He is technically sound and steady.
Pacquiao is the more aggressive fighter of the two. He is 57-5-2 in his career. He has won by KO in 38 of his 57 wins and also has been knocked out three times in his career. Eight of his last nine fights have went to the judges and the one that didn’t was a fight where he was knocked out. Pacquiao has good punching power and will mix it up, but in order for him to get the stoppage, he has to really take some chances, which he may not be willing to do. He may look to out-point Mayweather in this fight.
