Mayweather Jr Blast HBO

[ICB]

No idea where this has come from

HBO announcers used to cream over mayweather and at times make him appear almost invincible.

Only time i genuinely had a grievance with them was the 1st castillo fight which lederman scored to castillo by a couple of rounds when i and most people had it for mayweather which it was rightfully given to.

In all honesty the only bias i ever see from HBO seems to be their insistance that the busier fighter is always winning the tight rounds despite the fact the other guy has usually done far more damage.

I swear if lederman had scored all of hopkins fights officially he`d now have a record of like 41-13

I don't see how Mayweather done more damage on Castillo he mostly only landed jabs, the only time he actually stood and traded and done damage on Castillo was in the 11th round, and even in that round he was out punched. I thought Castillo won by 1 point but Lederman's scorecard of Castillo winning by 4 points was ridiculous, but in my mind Mayweather didn't do enough to take the champions title away from him and this is a Mayweather fan talking here. I know Mayweather had a shoulder injury and he won 2nd fight convincing but i still think Mayweather should have 1 loss on his record.

Castillo wasnt half as effective in those middle/late rounds as they were making out, sure he was the busier fighter and hurt floyd on a few occasions. But they gave like 7 of those last 8 rounds to JLC when floyd had taken at least 3 of them.

Another instance of lederman judging with his heart and not his head was the marq-barrera fight.

Everyone could clearly see marquez was winning the fight with ease accept for harold who was scoring every single close round to MAB.

I gave all but 2 rounds to JMM and was relieved as fuck when the judges also saw it that way as i was briefly beggining to think i was going mad

If PBF could just comeback and face Cotto and Margarito then he would probably get more respect, it's almost like when people criticize Pacquiao for not facing JMM 3rd time and Joan Guzman

I thought Barrera vs Marquez was a very close fight personally and theres no way on earth Marquez won 10 rounds out of 12, and i just can't see how you could have Mayweather winning 3 rounds after the 5th round, i would be curious what rounds you gave Mayweather after the 5th round.

Dont remember

Am quite sure i gave the last 2 rounds to PBF, and had it 114-112 for mayweather.

Watch the barrera-marquez fight without the commentary on and you`ll see exactly what i mean. Judges tend to give sympathy points out for fighters who are doing just not quite enough to win rounds in succession.

But if you scored every round in terms of scoring shots and dominating a fight you would have to say marq won the fight with some ease.

Must admit I thought that the Barrera - Marquez fight was much closer than a 10 round to 2 round beating. I also think that Jay Nady made one of his biggest mistakes ever in this fight (and thats saying something). When Barrera floored JMM he didn't call the knockdown and deducted Barrera a point for hitting him while he was down! Now this turned a 10-8 for MAB into a 10-8 for JMM which could have changed the fight in a big way. I agree that Mayweather won a close fight with Castillo though and I think ODLH came closer to beating Mayweather than Castillo IMO.

Well Floyd Mayweather Jr. is angry because no one really gave a fuck that he retired....we're just disappointed we didn't get to see Cotto, Williams, or Margarito fight him because he's a chicken shit.


HBO isn't racist....Floyd is just a prick....which is why no one talks about him in the manner people talk about Pacquiao who is a nice humble guy willing to fight anyone, Kelly Pavlik a nice humble guy willing to fight anyone, Wladimir a nice humble guy willing to fight anyone, or Miguel Cotto a nice humble guy willing to fight anyone.....if you just take the racial aspect out of the equation can't you see a different pattern Humility and the willingness to give the fans what they want and when you don't provide it you try harder next time....whereas Floyd is "Money May" he didn't want to EARN his star status with the fans he just wanted to take the path of least resistance....never unifying....never fighting the best in all his divisions....always looking for ways to help himself have an easier time with opponents....fans know Floyd is a spectacular athlete and a gifted boxer but he's not a fighter....he's not a guy who is out to give the fans what they want to see, he's "Money Mayweather".....money can't buy you class and it can't buy you acceptance when the name of the game is boxing


Floyd Mayweather can FUCK OFF....he's very talented but there's a LARGE group of fighters that he left in his wake without giving them their deserved shots! And every true boxing fan knows that!

That's all it is, he only gets a mention in the papers/news when he is fighting a well known fighter. Must be in shock that he just ain't popular on his own. He should carry on playfighting with fat wrestlers if he wants attention.
