Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight thread!!!

Sets up another huge payday for
everyone.

Nice back and forth action

mine have died.

Boxing is way to fixed to let that happen

but not many of those punches landed. I'd give the round to Manny because I want him to win but in reality that was an even round

.

its not boxing.

No way, Manny definitely won 4 and probably won 6 but didn't win rounds 3 or 5 at all

4 rounds to Floyd, 2 to Manny, 1 even (the 2nd) IMO

Now I'm watching a Spanish telecast. Haha

But could also be scored even

Manny needs to "hurt" Floyd soon and make him timid for a bit so he can rack up some points. Manny can punch and punch hard so he needs to land one. Else, if the fight stays close like it has Floyd wins.

It is either 5 rounds to 4 for Floyd or 4-4 with one even round

and lightweights. SHould be 15.

I think Floyd wins a decision unless Manny knocks him out in the last

And Agassi is half asleep

was calling out Floyd's legs but Manny just doesn't have any bounce in his.

A nickel to watch this fight again

The kentucky derby had more action than this nonsense. BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

hype for nothing

Floyd became a coward in the last round. Weak.

none of that side to side bounce of old.

Very disappointing.

Not exactly the best of fights in terms of action. Lots of dancing and counterpunching by Floyd and Manny was just not quick enough to catch him. Floyd will most likely win either a UD or majority decision

Floyd by comfortable decision

incredible defense, clinches whenever in trouble, and then wins without doing much.

Very boring, but he's a great defensive fighter.

I don't think its going to be that comfortable. Maybe a few points.

Floyd 148-435, Manny only 81-429

Mayweather isn't responsible for people to dim to appreciate the fact that the point is to win the fight.

Fucking dodge PAC for 5 years then dodges him in the ring. He is such a pussy (yes he would kick my ass). God can someone just fucking knock him out.

Floyd wins by UD

.

is the ultimate tactician. Uses his unreal quickness to win round and if in double go on the offensive in the latter rounds. Unpopular though and rightfully.

Dominance.

Winning either 10 or 9 rounds out of 12.

Floyd landed almost double the punches Manny did during the fight...Manny landed only 19% and only one significant shot which did any damage, in the 4th

Maybe they can make it the first card of the match to get it over with.

Was that suppose to be entertaining?

You paid $100 for an insomnia cure.

Those two beat the living shit out of each other

Can't see Floyd giving Manny another fight plus this fight was pretty dull and the buyrates won't be as high

It's just his fighting style is completely terrible to watch no aggression and completely safe

energy and bounce like before and he's much more cautious after the Marquez fight. You're not going to outbox Floyd, he needed to be bouncing all around, coming from angles, taking chances, throwing twice as many punches.

Well by his own admission his goal is to make money, so that's what he's responsible for.

His greatest achievement in the sport is being as rich as he is with as boring a style as he has.

Too dim.

When insulting intelligence, best to get this right.

of hugging

why do people pay to watch it then?

Is it a prestige thing among the rich an famous to be seen at these events? I don't get it. That fight put me to sleep...I don't care how good the man his, he's boring as hell.

People pay to see him lose because he's such an unlikeable guy.

As he said he enjoys playing the villain because it pays well.

would have been docked points for the clinching after some of Manny's good moments. He did the same thing against Mosely.

I think Mayweather's defense is insane. But this is why I can't really get into boxing. I don't think defense, no matter how amazing, should be enough. I still think you need to independently do work offensively and land some good power shots and threaten offensively. But that's not how the sport of boxing works. This felt like a game that ended 0-0.

But as much as I hate Floyd, focusing specifically on his defense makes your jaw drop. He seems to have the defensive reflexes of a cat. To be that quick and alert at 38 years old is nuts. It's a testament to how well he's done over the years at not getting hit and worn down.
