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

[CFH]

I had it 117-111, but I can see the argument for 116-112. The right man won.

116-113 for me to May - be interested to hear from Roach

[bcollins]

Mayweather beat him pillar to post.

[CFH]

I think it would have looked different 5 years ago when Pacquiao had faster feet and a better motor, but I think the result would have been the same.

Two final thoughts that have nothing to do with the fight:

1) Max Kellerman is still a stupid cunt.

2) I would love to see someone kick Leonard Ellerbe right in his fat jiggly tits.

Manny seemed to let his foot off the gas as though coasting to save fuel for a last minute dash that never materialised. Floyd made it look easy at times but Manny leaving with marks on his back from all the leaning could have seen a point deducted after 7 warnings. Either way Floyd wins wide as most predicted but maybe not how. The first couple of rounds with Floyd throwing down a marker set it up. Double bluff and Freddie seemed as naive as Manny to expect it would have been the reverse.

Bit meh but actually could have been far more of an anticanticlimax. Good sporadic action from two great fighters and perhaps the same fight as would always have happened even when at their peak.

I seriously hope no one ever mention they wanna see a rematch.

Not until someone invents a time machine.

I had it 117 - 111 as well, my mate just text me and said that Manny was the clear winner, fucking idiot

Mayweather absolutely coasted that, yes he doesn't throw as many punches as others but he doesn't need to, I thought Manny made himself sound like an idiot afterwards by saying he won and then not giving Floyd any credit at all, he didn't hurt him, he didn't throw enough, he kept moving away from him etc etc

I didn't think it would be that easy and as soon as we were half way through the first round I though "here we go again, another fight that mayweather is going to be able to stroll through again"

I'm glad he won but I was hoping that he would have a tougher night than that.

No version of Manny ever beats Floyd. He has always slowed his pace when being countered. You just can't beat Floyd with out a jab. Floyd is older than Manny, the whole waited him out argument is just sad. Arum always knew and that's why we waited. This fight wasn't just boring, it was easy, really easy for Floyd. Because Manny has no jab.

You have to have a good jab to open his defense for your big shots.

[Beanflicker]

Manny gave it the old college try but I had it 9-3 for Mayweather.

[IamInuit]

Yeah it was bit of a dud but we all knew that could happen. We discussed how anticlimactic it could be 2 years ago. I was a little surprised how fast Floyd got complete control. I thought it was a guarantee that Manny would prove at least difficult for Floyd in the early going. Floyd almost looked like he carried him a bit.

They can both laugh to the bank though

It went the way I expected the fight to go, Floyd was a bit more aggressive at the beginning of
the fight, and Manny followed him round landing very little, a fight for the purists both make
a lot of money.
Some would say the build up and hype were better than the fight,! there again Floyd was Floyd
and he won the fight his way, people were expecting fire works and they end up holding a sparkler.

oscar was jabbing floyd to death till age caught up

[ruthless rocco]

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
