    Well the American judges were influenced because they saw their home guy fighting.

    Now from a different perspective:
    Judges expected lots of punches from Manny and Floyd being defensive fighter. Manny didn't throw as much as it wasn't that kind of fight and the judges automatically gave those rounds to Floyd. Even when Manny should have won the round.

      It's laughable, the whole notion Floyd dominated, only people with an agenda say this(Pac haters, Floyd diehards).

      It's very bemusing, British commentators after the 3rd Marquez fight harped on about "Manny vision" giving Manny too much credit for minor things and overplaying his performances, but we're seeing the exact same thing with Floyd. Manny has to fight a certain way, set a certain pace, and if he isn't it's because Floyd is making him fight at that pace, it can't be that Manny planned to fight that way could it? "Manny has to throw more punches, do this do that, it's one of Floyd's easiest fights" But what is Floyd doing? don't you win fights by landing punches? Oh that's right, he's "setting the pace" just do the bare minimum, make sure the commentators are licking your arse, land the odd tapping right hand that will ensure you get the biased replay's during the break and the fight is yours. As song as the other guy doesn't badly hurt you or knock you down you win the round.

      The highlights for the most impressive punches landed clearly favour Manny... and his defence is criminally underrated, CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED DEFENCE!

        Didn't all the major networks in PI agree to a multicast for this fight? What were their commentator scores or did they just use feeds with local ads interjected?

          Man. I'm just looking at some old fights. You see all these great skilled boxers who had long reigns end with controversial decisions. Holmes/Spinks, Hopkins/Taylor, Whitaker/De La Hoya etc.

          They couldn't wait to knock those guys off the top and the minute they had a close call, they took their belts from them.

          They tried to do it to Floyd with Canelo and I'm sure Pac would have gotten the nod if it was remotely close.

          But dude is just so dominant you just can't steal these decisions from him with a straight face.

            There was nothing whatsoever that was dominant about Floyd's performance vs Pacquiao. With Floydvision yes, but an objective viewing of the fight with it on mute you can't seriously see that fight as dominant. But you're biased.

                      Agreed
                      Lol Whitaker wasn't robbed

                      He pranced around and gave rounds away, Oscar landed the bigger punches.

                      Nothing Floyd did all night was as impressive as this



                      And the commentators barely reacted to it! Even on the replay, "oh, good left, and another, oh" Mayweather lands his right "BIG RIGHT HAND FROM FLOYD!"

                      I call it like I see it, 7-5 either way or a draw (I scored a draw) I also had the Bradley fight closer than many here did. The fight was very close. But most humans are followers and sheepish. "Repeat a lie a thousand times and it becomes the truth."

                      Awaiting another ad hominem.
