Well, that wasn't a very good fight from either fighter. Both looked old, but Mayweather looked slightly less old. I was watching it thinking 'If only Ricky Hatton could have faced this Floyd Mayweather'. He was there to be hit and all it needed were some good legs to get close and Manny was simply flat footed and heavy. Manny looked like a weary fighter who couldn't fight more than a minute of a round and even then seemed to be waiting and waiting. Having recently watched all of Manny's fights, he looked close to being shot. I'm not even sure he can beat the speedy guys like Brook or Thurman anymore. It happens, you get old. Mayweather is smart. I give him that. He knew that Manny wasn't the same and he timed it perfectly. He is a genius in that regard. He sees these things and knows the right move. It says a lot that Maidana did a better job than Manny. I'm disappointed in Freddie Roach who I thought would have a better gameplan than to try and outbox a fighter with a 10cm reach advantage. You cannot sit and wait, you have to pounce. He knows what Manny has left more than anyone.

I don't particularly want to leave, but when you make a thread like this you should at least see it through. I shall voluntarily abstain from posting for a period of 6 months. It's the least I can do in the wake of such a result. It just wasn't a very good fight. A shame and both men should retire. I doubt they will.
