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

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    Pacquiao could not pull the trigger. He should retire. Mayweather clearly won but it's far from a schooling. Pacquiao fought Floyd's fight and failed to make the rounds tough to score.This fight will haunt him forever. He almost cried when Kellerman asked him the right questions. Fuckin deserved it. $120 million and vacation was on his mind.

    Strange fight for Manny IMO.
    He did somethings well, like cut off the ring (to his right) and recognised Mayweather's traps and even did an okayish job of dealing with Mayweather s right hand (for all his flaws) but for my taste, he didn't feint Mayweather out of position on the ropes not nearly enough and completely failed to see how key the right hook could have been, up close... even after landing it.

    I think maybe his his tactics and possibly even his camp were more concerned with his Mayweather's counter punching than his own offence.

    Manny Pacquiao: "I thought I won the fight. He didn’t do anything. He always ran. I got hit many times. I saw the punches and I think I won the fight. It’s not easy to throw a lot of punches if the opponent is moving around. I can handle his power. It’s not like Margarito or Cotto."

    Hahaha!!!!

    What a joke perhaps that happens to the mind when you bunch shoulder injury, blisters caused by cheap socks, cramps and lucky punch claims the mind has built in excuses and a delusion
