    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.

    I agree. I had a feeling pac will end up standing there when i heard they were working on nullifying Floyd's traps. Pac would have made it alot better if he focused on his offence more rather than what Floyd will do. But his post fight interview was ridiculous.

    That wasn't even close to being a sparing session. I was disappointed in Manny just trying enough to out point Floyd stupid fight plan. I feel sorry for all thousands of people that paid mega bucks to sit ring side. One thing for sure. A mega ppv will never happen again.

    It would not have made much difference as Manny was not engaging enough. 2 old men past their primes milking the fans with this non event.

    Sure mayweather held, but you can count the number of times on your fingers. There was not enough engagement on the inside for Bayless to justify a point deduction. Most fighters will hold as a tatic, for it to be on the forefront the other fighter has to formally complain that the other fighter uses it iillegally. Once that happens the offending fighter is on notice. It was obvious mayweather would hold, but Im guessing pacs corner would use holding if mayweather came to fight. Look at the punch count, I haven't seen it but. It should absolutely dismal even for floyd.

    Punches landed are awful, they are very low. Embarrassing.

    Yes I know that warning and point deductions are up to the referee, but Bayless in my opinion should have deducted at least one point or giving sterner warnings to Mayweather. It was just a bit too much holding for my liking, but what I like doesn't really matter in the scope of the fight. I'm just hoping that people are so jaded with this spectacle that this ends pay-per-view. More fights on network television!
