Originally posted by Deevel916 View PostWatched the fight sober tonight and it seemed more competitive tonight than it did last Sat. Floyd certainly won but I didnt see the dominance that everyone spoke of. The first 4-5 rounds were pretty even rounds that neither fighter dominated nor clearly won. There were about 3-4 rounds that Floyd CLEARLY won. He resorted to one and done punching and never completely overwhelmed, hurt, or had Alvarez in any type of trouble what so ever and vice versa. At the end of the day he was able to lay more leather than Alvarez was able to lay on him and that was the story of the fight although Alvarez was able to land some nice solid shots on Floyd here and there.

Originally posted by Deevel916 View PostThis is what frustrates alot of boxing fans about Floyd's style. He lacks a killer instinct. He could have his opponent completely outclassed yet will still resort to throwing jabs and pot shots without going in for the kill. Granted his style works for him but this is why he gets criticized and called "boring". He's like the Tim Duncan of boxing.

Really? I mean, really?
Mayweather won every round. In every single round he landed better punches than Alvarez. He had Alvarez on the ropes multiple times taking a beating.
Why do people do this? Why do people find ways to see fights closer than they actually were?

Also, most people can agree if anything Mayweather gave away the 12th round, so he didn't really win all 12. Wasn't a shutout the first time I saw it, still isn't a shutout the 2nd either... dominant? Sure.

Every single round Mayweather had;
More punches landed
Cleaner punches landed
Controlled the pace
Effective defense
Rendered Canelo's offense ineffective.
Every criteria of the scoring, Mayweather ticked all the box's.
Very difficult to give him a round.

I don't get it sometimes. I really don't. People should usually stick with their scores the first time they do it. When you start analyzing it too much you can fool yourself into seeing anything.
Damn it, why do these scoring threads involving Mayweather always end up with me defending him and talking his performance up!
