Excellent Post, true boxing fans appreciate the art of boxing. Unfortunately around here you gotta learn real quick to tell the difference between boxing fans and *******s.
Truth is Pacquiao is a true warrior and champion who just wasn't the better man that night. True boxing fans can respect that but if you're just a fan of one man who happens to box it's been very tough to handle.
It's been more than rough for them to handle, it's been a daily crisis post-fight.
It's a stretch to say Pacquiao didn't belong but he certainly did not win more than 3 rounds. Pacquiao showed glimpses of why he's a great fighter but like I expected going in, his lack of a jab, inability to cut off the ring was enough to know that he never had a shot. I'd watch it, I found it enjoyable, already seen it about 6 times.
You didn't feel that way 5 years ago... and 4 years ago is when you started getting confident due to decline, not that ish you mentioned.
Great post here. Manny has never been smarter in the ring. He out-countered the counter puncher. He landed the cleaner, harder punches as well. Floyd bought the testing agency, ref, and judges. He said it would be an exciting fight. He said he would walk Manny down and punish him to the body. Did he even attempt to do any of that? Manny didn't have to throw 800-1000 punches at Floyd. Why? Because he is as skilled as Floyd. This is what fooled the people, the commentators, and the judges. They underestimated Manny's ring IQ. With two good hands, he might stop Floyd!
Common sense says it's a no brainer. A one handed Pac was a handful already for Floyd. A 2 handed Pac mops him easy.
Give him a break. I feel kind of bad for him. He's still clinging to that "one handed fighter" nonsense, despite clear evidence throughout the fight to suggest otherwise.
I get a bit of second hand embarrassment for him. Poor guy is pathetic.
