Manny Pacquiao is not lacking in confidence as he heads into Saturday’s fight of the century against Floyd Mayweather, BBC Sport reports:

“Don’t get nervous,” Pacquiao said. “I’m excited and 100% confident.

“Any time I am underdog, I like that,” he said.

”It means my killer instinct and focus is fully there. Other people are getting nervous for me but I am excited.

“This is the moment I believe he will experience his first loss.”

You don’t expect any fighter to exhibit anything less than complete confidence in their own ability, but Pacquiao still has a very real chance of beating Mayweather. In just a few days, he will get to display that killer instinct.
