Mayweather v Bruseles

Ok, they're going on about the lack of crowd or national writers, but what do they expect? You match one of the most naturally gifted boxers to ever live against someone unheard of outside hardcore fandom for a belt I think was invented for the sole purpose of making this a 12 rounder (and putting something around Floyd's waist) and it doesn't exactly have broad appeal. I'm pretty hardcore, but if this weren't a free fight, I wouldn't be watching. The only reason I tuned in was to see the Peter v Diaz fight. This fight is incidental. Maybe I'll get lucky and be surprized, but I figger PBF by early KO.

you ever have that feeling where you're actually scared of the fighter you're watching, even though you know that they're thousands of miles away and you're not a boxer and that if you were a boxer you'd be in a different weight class... anyway, i'm scared of floyd mayweather - good god how could anyone last against someone that fast & accurate...

Floyd's speed and natural talent will give anyone trouble, but he can't let any of the real 140 lb fighters stand in there like that he's going to get KO'd. Not necessarily by the bodyshots themselves, but from the speed they will take away from him. He doesn't seem to have enough power to keep anyone real off of him. He won't land 60% against Cotto or Tzyu, he may get close to that against Gatti, but it won't keep Gatti from walking in on him.

The kid he fought was not a bad fighter but Floyd took his time and schooled him. He said Gatti in the summer i think its gonna happen. Floyd will give Gatti a good old fashioned ass beating and knock him out late.

Flotd knocked him down twice. I guess that his corner wanted the stoppage? I really don't understand it. He went down twice from bodyshots, but there weer only a few seconds left in the round. He should've been given the chance to recover. As for Floyd's Uncle Roger being the best trainer in the world, I think that DLH might argue with that...

There's no way in hell Bruseles was going to win that fight, but that was still a bullshit stoppage. Mayweather is simply amazing. "The Patriots" lmao. :D

Ok, in final analysis, Floyd gave out the schooling everyone expected, but it certainly took longer than I expected. If Floyd lets Gatti or Tzyu stand in close like that, he's going to get hurt.

M - B 10-9 (Bruseles had it closer than I thought, though. PBF is too fast for him) 10-9 (Brusleles is still keeping up the pressure. He might actually win a round eventually, if he throws punches while stalking) 10-9 (Same as last round. PBF needs to put this guy away) 10-9 (I'm beginning to think PBF doesn't have enough power for 140. Hitting at will, but not even phasing Bruseles) 10-9 (A couple of hard Floyd shots, still not phasing Bruseles) 10-9 (If Floyd can't dissaude Bruseles from coming forward, what will he do to dissuade Tzyu or Gatti?) 10-9 (yawn) 10-7 (why did they stop this??????????)
