Good stuff. Definitely gives you a much better perspective and will throw all your bias aside. I still have the fight as a draw. but it was no "domination" like most people make it out to be. Mayweather was hitting a lot of Pacquiao's gloves which were scored in the judges card.

They're like the Hitler Youth fighting to the bitter end as allied tanks stormed through Germany!

I was thinking more the Japanese who refused to surrender. Difference is those men were brave soldiers fighting for their country while these guys are delusional clowns.

Incredible how in slow motion, you'd think it was two different fights.

Highly recommended to all fans of the sweet science.
You can actually see Mayweather's traps and Pacquiao trying to find a way in, avoiding those counters and setting up his own. Its was a tactical ballet every time they reset.

A few notes after watching it in slow mo replay:

- Manny's skill level and ring IQ is on par with Mayweather's. No one ever countered and made Floyd miss as much as Pacquiao did and that much was evident watching it in slow mo.

- Manny landed punches while off balance or without proper technique. In real time, this will seem sloppy, even though the punches did connect.

- Floyd's moved well and controlled the distance effectively, slow motion doesn't show differently. His offense though left much to be desired.

- No quarrels with scoring. Judges score in real time and perception is key. Floyd being the defensive fighter did well defensively, and Pacquiao being the offensive fighter did not live up to expectations offensively. That said and on the flip side, I thought Pacquiaos defense was excellent and Mayweathers offense was lacking. But thats clearly not what people paid to see. Still, it seemed that close rounds were given to Floyd just because he wasn't getting destroyed .

- I think a rematch will look quite similar and Pacquiao will probably look worse if he goes in wrecklessly guns blazing. He did well enough tactically but the expectations were more than what we saw.

Great chess match and one I appreciated even more in slow motion.
