Trainer Picks Worst Time To Claim His Fighter Will KO Pacquiao

Manny Pacquiao beat the hell out of Chris Algieri on his way to retaining his welterweight world title this weekend. Pacquiao won a unanimous decision, thanks in large part to the fact that he knocked Algieri down six times in 12 rounds. One of those knockdowns was accompanied by some ill-timed yet hilarious commentary from Algieri's trainer, Tim Lane.

In the video above, Lane is giving a ringside interview with Max Kellerman while Pacquiao and Algieri are going at it in the ninth round. He says, rather confidently, that Algieri is getting ready to knock Pacquiao out: "He's gonna put him to sleep here in a few minutes. I'm gonna let him go in one more round."

Kellerman then asks if the plan is to knock Pacquiao out in the tenth round, and just as Lane is explaining that, yes, that is indeed the plan, Algieri catches a crushing straight left to the jaw and hits the canvas. Maybe the plan should have been to go for the knockout a little earlier.
