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

[fan johnny]

may had the fight we expected, I was just disappointed in Bayless not deducted points for holding.

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!
