I was rooting for manny and picked him to outpoint floyd based on workrate...
Maidana had success in the first fight because he let his hands go, just like castillo, Oscar, Judah, Hatton... Manny is better than those guys, so I thought he would be able to go all 12 rds throwing 75 plus punches a round...
But floyd clearly shut manny down... Sad thing is, that manny had great success in rds 4,6,9,10 when he let his hands go.... Floyd just dominated when he didn't
Manny from marquez 3 showed up.... We needed manny from marquez 1,2,4 to show up...
Floyd clearly won,,,, all the credit to him...

that said the lack of work rate from Manny was not befitting the occasion either, or indicative of a man willing to win. All in all it was a decent tactical bout but as an event it was a disgrace and for a fight of such magnitude it was a sham and those two basically robbed 4 million people of $100

If that fight was between any two bog standard B level fighters of equal popularity not named Mayweather or Pacquiao you and the rest of the viewers would have seen a much closer fight.

History. This fight will be remembered as the biggest let down in the history of Boxing. The lamest super fight i have ever seen! Will ever see, again. The fans were robbed. As for how close it was or who won or who should have won. Who cares!!! They both threw and landed a career low. Running and clinching fight scared and not throwing punches made it an historical let down! This fight will be forgotten and will never be compared to the best fights in the history of the sport!
Lets move on.
