Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

Floyd-Pac

Watching this fight in mute gives you a totally different perception. I recently re-watched it and scored it a draw, I saw it as a very close fight that could have been 7-5 either way or a draw.

10-9 Floyd (commentators d*ckriding Floyd from the opening bell) muted it after this round
10-9 Floyd close round
9-10 PAC
9-10 Big PAC round
10-9 Floyd
9-10 PAC
9-10 PAC (hardly anything happened, really should be 10-10) swing round
9-10 PAC good round from Pacquiao, double power left was the highlight of the round
10-9 Floyd Close but Floyd edged it with the cleaner work, many of the rounds after 5 were swing rounds
9-10 PAC - Very close, Floyd landed clean punches but Pac didn't get enough credit for his flurry shots, could have gone either way, another swing round. Astonishing that people call this a "schooling"
10-9 Floyd - Close round, floyd edged it
10-9 Floyd - Floyd dominated first half of the round early then took the gas off a bit, still give it to him though

I'm shocked. Watched it objectively on mute and it was very very close, no domination whatsoever, I'd like to see a rematch. Pacquiao's defense is extremely underrated and Floyd has one of the best jabs in boxing. I stand by this, close fight. Andre Ward wanted a rematch, saw it closer than most. My prediction was correct, it would be a close fight where the winners side would claim shutout.

Don't give a flying fook, fight was close, wouldn't have a big issue with a 7-5 either way but that's how I saw it. As the years pass people will realise it was a lot closer than the scorers awarded it.

Looooooooooooooooool.

Looooooooooooooooool.

I call it like I see it, the commentary was extremely biased. I also had PAC Bradley 1 a lot closer than most (although I thought Pac clearly won). If Pac won we'd get the same sht from Pac fans saying he clearly won clearly blah blah.

I've never understood why "watching it in mute" makes a difference to how you score a fight.

Are you influenced by a commentator to the extent that it sways your opinion? Don't you know what you're seeing?

Commentators have a very big influence on how I and many others see fights. You can't help but notice it, they often (especially Jim Watt) dismiss what the other guy is doing and proceed to gush over what the other guy is doing, it influences your opinion a lot.

They didn't react to PAC's clean hard shots like the one in my sig like they did to Floyd's work. The commentary was very biased.

You're not a casual or new fan and you let Jim Watt influence your opinion? Despite the fight being infront of your very eyes?

That's an extremely weak mind you have there.

It's hard not to, it's a subtle effect. I watched it in a bar and was pretty drunk but when I saw clips online of the replay (only fully watched the replay today) I was amazed at the bias, SkySports were even worse.

Most people are influenced by commentary, especially when they watch a fight live.

No definitely not most people.

Atleast not to fans.

To casuals yes, and new fans, and you.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
