Did you enjoy the Manny fight? I didnt,both fighters looked poor....

[El Gamo]

I need to get this off my chest. That was a poor poor fight. 1 round was exciting,5 I think. Manny Pacquiao was very very poor. There is NO WAY I can call him the second best fighter in the world. Absolutely not. His balance was woeful. His combinations were terrible. Where was the right hand? His jab wand head movement were good but overall,he seemed so shy,so reticent.

MAB seemed content to survive. Even his corner told him to pick up the pace at 1 point and told him to do more!The scoring was woeful in the sense that it was way too exagerrated in favour of Manny but I had him winning. Roach was poor in the corner too,he didn't inject any sense of urgency into Manny.

I think the fame,the lifestyle has finally gotten to Manny. Put that version of Manny in with Soto,Guzman,JMM,he loses.Those guys are firing on all cylinders. Heck Valero would have given him hell.

Thank goodness for the war between Yusuf Mack and Librado Andrade on the undercard!!! And the McCline Peter and Santos Rivera fights. Far more exciting.

Totally agree. Manny looked like shit last night...BUT...everyone does have a bad night.

CC back,everyone has a bad night but if you're P4P,you're going to judged a little bit harsher. If you're fighting a guy you KTFO before,again,the criteria ge4ts harsher. If the guy you are fighting just wants to survive,that puches the envelope even further. I hope Manny gets his fire back but maybe he has reached his peak,maybe the fame,the pressure and all the other distractions have gotten to him? We'll find out next fight but if I was JMM/GUZMAN/SOTO,I'd want him now!

if you've seen most of pac's fight, you'd observed that he usually doesn't do very well in significant fights when he's overwhelmingly favored to win as oppose to turning in some of his best performance when he's the underdog. so imo that played a role in this fight aside from the fact that he was weight drained and mab fighting on survival mode. i'm sure we'll see a different pac next time around when the odds are just about even or just slightly in his favor, better if it were stacked against him.

I have to disagree with that. He was almost a big a favourite to beat Morales the third time and he looked very good. He was favourite v Solis,demolished him. Ditto Velasquez.The second Morales fight 50-50,it was an amazing performance from Manny. I don't buy the favourite line,those are all significant fights and he did well in them,as the favourite.

He should have been able to cut off MAB and pin him on the ropes alot more. Surely in sparring they must have presumed MAB would move(possibly alot more than that!_) and worked on cutting it off..

I was ready to stop watching after the 9th. As soon as the fight was over, I shut her down. I did not even stick around to listen to the results I went straight to bed. I knew who won.

lol,so it'as safe to say you thought the fight was shit?

Totally agree. Manny looked like S*** last night...BUT...everyone does have a bad night.

Pac can't always please everybody. If you think Pac was boring last night, then what do you think no.1 p4p Floyd? Pac just didn't get the fight he wanted last night coz MAB was very cautious to trade.

Anyways, I'm just happy that FINALLY!... Pac won by a decision in US. He dominated most of the rounds, connected more, and inflicted more damages. JMM could'nt beat MAB convincingly, but Pac did it TWICE.

Pac can't always please but if ever there was a fight to please people in,it was this one. Fighting an older fighter,past his prime,someone he has already KTFO,Manny being hyped as supposedly being in his prime,and he gives us that.

Say what you want about Mayweather but he turned up the heat on Oscar in those last 4 rounds and hurt Oscar more than Manny hurt MAB.Neither fight was amazingly exciting and I like Manny more than I like Floyd but I'm not having double standards. There were threads slaughtering Mayweather after the Oscar fight, Manny didn't look too good to me either.

Imagine Mayweather fighting Oscar,beating him,knocking him out and then fighting him again.And imagine the second fight being a shit performance and a boring fight? There would be an uproar!!!
