I can't see how it is a bad thing to see somebody able to slip and block punches good.
most slick defensive boxers nowadays fight not to lose instead of fighting to win.
you can be offensive and have good defense and not get into toe to toe wars.
look at winky wright. good defense but he'll come forward and touch you up.

most boxing experts picked oscar. most guys who followed boxing picked oscar. that doesn't mean all did.
those odds are a week before the fight btw.
it opened up higher than that. i think it opened up around -190/-200 for oscar.

This number implies that if they fought 3 times Pacquiao would win once, not a given by any circumstance.
no interest in talking to you anymore.
pacquiao was the underdog and most boxing experts gave him little chance to win.
i'm done.
