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

[Ron Swanson]

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.

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!

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.

[Andre]

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.

[ruthless rocco]

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.

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.

[Master]

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.
