[tps_header]Pace & Tempo[/tps_header]
If Mayweather can control the fights tempo with movement, he stands the greatest chance of victory.
Although Mayweather can be considered one of the most physically in-shape athletes, he is also known for slower paced tempos. This allows Mayweather to exhibit variations to his opponents timing.
While matching his skill with Alvarez, it would be of great advantage if Mayweather controlled the pace and tempo of the fight, making it exhilarating with movement.
Alvarez has shown that he tends to exert his energy in the first six rounds of a fight—hungry for knock outs.
If Mayweather can entice Alvarez to follow him around the ring, while depleting his energy with missed punches, the odds become more favorable for Mayweather as each round passes.
Action is scientifically faster than reaction. Mayweather will need to act accordingly in order to obtain the desired reaction from Alvarez.
