Welterweight titlist Jessie Vargas will defend his belt against Manny Pacquiao, the Philippines senator and eight-time world titleholder who is looking to regain the world title belt he lost against Floyd Mayweather in May 2015.The 12-round contest will take place Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas (Top Rank PPV, 9 p.m. ET).The general consensus seems to be that the bout will go the distance, since Pacquiao (58-6-2 with 38 KOs) and Vargas lack the sufficient power to win by KO.Pacquiao is the favorite, but Vargas (27-1, 10 KOs) has been in tough fights and could score the upset -- if he follows these keys.Jab, jab and more jabWorking the jab and throwing power shots using his longer reach appears to be Vargas main weapon, but he would be in serious trouble if Pacquiao finds the distance and forces him to step back and take punches. Vargas uses the jab as a way of gaining control of the ring, as well as maintaining the distance. It also paves the way for his dangerous overhand right.Get inside ... when you canVargas must dramatically reduce his predisposition to throw punches from outside. Against a speedy opponent like Pacquiao, who will also be looking to cut off the ring and overpower his opponent with punches down the middle, giving him the distance he needs is suicide. As he did so successfully against Sadam Ali, Vargas should throw his combinations at a close distance and down the middle of Pacquiaos guard.All about the bodyPacquiaos movements are unpredictable enough to complicate any opponent. Faced with this problem, the textbook clearly states the importance of countering Pacquiaos quickness by working the opponents body. Vargas must use the hook, one of his best weapons, to slow down Pacquiao and reduce his frantic movements.Protect yourself at all timesThe powerful left hand is Pacquiaos best shot. It not only catches opponents by surprise, but also opens their guard, which allows Pacquiao to launch a blistering onslaught. Vargas will have to devise a way to defend those punches. The best thing to do would be to defend with the high right hand and step back when necessary to unbalance his opponent and blunt his attacks.Trust the game plan -- A and BVargas trainer, former world kickboxing champion Dewey Cooper, will play a decisive role in this fight. Vargas is aggressive and explosive but is not a solid puncher. There is no guarantee that he can surprise us with a KO victory over Pacquiao, but he will need to work the entire fight to score the win. He needs to finish rounds strongly, follow his game plan and assume that, at some point during the bout, he will need a plan B. China Nike MLB Jerseys .
