MAYWEATHER / PACQUIAO - Saturday Night - FIGHT THREAD- TR/HBO/SKY

[ruthless rocco]

pac and may just ensured that casual fans will not return to watch boxing, even though there are tons of other great exciting matches to watch

That's all on Pac and Pac alone.

Mayweather fought exactly the same style of fight he always does. Hell, he even out landed Manny!!

Manny didn't fulfill his promise to hunt the running Mayweather down and KO him with the help of THE FIST OF GOD.

Floyd did say he was going for the knock out which was utter bull as well.

Manny meant it Floyd used it as a strategy.
Stupid vs Smart

oscar was jabbing floyd to death till age caught up

Funny that Manny's destruction of a severely weight drained Oscar is considered one of his shinning moments since he fought Oscar a year and a half after "age caught up" to him against Floyd.

Hahaha!

I never wanted to see oscar again after the floyd fight, that was a pay day for oscar, he didnt care. But in his prime he beats floyd

Oscar would never beat Floyd. Oscar lost all his big fights. Who has Oscar beat that makes you think he would beat Floyd? Don't say sweetpea because that will make you sound silly.

I had it 116 to 112 Floyd.
Manny may have got in more flurries when in close but Floyd did dominate that with his jabs, weave, right cross, skip out of there routine. Mannys best rounds; the fourth by a long shot and the 6th and 10th for my liking were all his. Not really any stand out rounds for Floyd so you can see why normal punters could think Manny took the fight to him and they would of thought those inside flurries scored every hit but Floyd was checking 3/4 of them so out of 9 hits 3 at the most were on the mark then that was it for the round , in all the other rounds Floyd just consistently cleanly out pegged and out maneuvering him.
If every round was like the 4th Manny would of won it.

The fourth was Many's best round.

It's funny that he was able to be so effective considering they claim he injured his arm in the 3rd round and was unable to punch well thereafter.

His right seemed fine to me and he threw around 190 jabs as well. Just a BS excuse.

Rewatching the fight I looked for signs of an injury to that arm. I didn't notice him wincing or using it any less.
Well... I noticed him doing everything less than he usually does but his arm seemed fine to me. He kept swinging at the air with the same intensity all night long.

Have been listening to radio all day and post fight withdrawals. I feel like I'm watching my pet be abused and mutilated. This "event" did no favors for the sport.

Mayweather is a genius. He's made a truck load of money off the back of serving up an event that was horse shit from start to finish.


It was a corporate event that Joe Blogs was not invited to and the atmosphere or lack of is testament to that. It was as dull as dishwater from the outset and never improved.


Mayweather was never going to be part of a Hagler Hearns matchup, we all knew that, but he could have fulfilled our boxing appetites with a couple of barnstorming televised undercard fights. That would have made all the difference for me, if the crowd (the ones that actually want to watch not just say they were there) were already full to the brim on 'fighting', Mayweathers boxing could have been the cherry on top of a boxing banquet that ticked all the boxes.


I've had more fun watching a low rent prizefighter tournament.

I told you @Memphis this was a non-event but you believed Manny would win or was that SmashUp I said that too?

What a borefest, Floyd is the new Wald and the sooner he retires the better. No one will watch his fight in September.

I will. Floyd is the best fighter of our generation, he might be the best ever. I'll be gutted when he retires.

I won't be gutted when he retires, he's past his best but even a old floyd is still the best of his generation easily and I think he's the best ever.

Best ever boxer GTFOH

Do not fall for the hype. He is a great p4p fighter but he is not the best welterweight ever for a start and has no real great rival or produced a great performance where he was an under dog.

Sooner he retires the better.
