    Party I was at was extremly bored about it half way through the fight. Even as casual fans they saw it being a huge mismatch.

    Funny thing most didnt care about who was fighting just the fact that they really find Mayweather's attitude annoying and wanted to see him lose. So his doucebagness sells fans too you can say. But the post-fight drama was better than the whole fight.

      The fight was one sided and I don't think Marquez deserved a round. I was quite surprised that two judges found a round to give to Marquez. The commentary was one-sided and in favor of Mayweather because the fight was all Mayweather.

      I didn't think the fight was a very great fight but I thought Mayweather putting on a clinic and I was entertained. Then again I can appreciate the boxing skills of Mayweather as much as two fighters standing toe to toe. I believe that Marquez could of pushed the fight more. When he threw the right hand he was able to land but he just didn't pull the trigger which isn't Mayweather's fault. Mayweather fought his fight and Marquez didn't do what he should of done when faced with the situation he was faced with. I know it's easier said than done but I believe Marquez could of sold out more when it was obvious that he was losing the fight big.

        I have no problem with Floyd not brawling and fighting scientifically.

        I have a problem with the obvious size mis match

            A masterclass in boxing skills. True fans of boxing would have appreciated this type of fight. It was beautiful.

              Halfway through Chris John vs Rocky Juarez my wife fell asleep.

                  Why bleed and cut it you don't have too?

                  I don't blame Floyd for not wanting to be punch drunk.

                    I think Larry would have had a lot to say about the fight. I wish he did.

                    I would have loved to hear him interview Floyd after the fight.

                    I like how Larry asked Floyd after the DLH fight "Where was the massacre you promised?" and as usual Floyd couldn't handle a perfectly legitimate question.
