I was just impressed how average he made Pacman look. The guys who was supposed to be a great offensive fighter who throws 800-1000 punches threw half the punches and didn't even throw more than Mayweather. Great defensive skills and showed that Pacquiao only has one good punch, the straight left.
Control distance
Land his jab
Time him with check hook
Land lead rights
Time him with counter rights
Make Pac miss
Make Pac hesitant
Turn Pac
Land straight right hand to the body
He threw a nice check hook as well as lead left hooks. The straight right was landing as always. Floyd controlled the pace of the fight and limited Manny's output. Pacquiao did no more than any other Mayweather opponent. That says something to me. He also used his jab very well.
Pacquiao landed less than 90 punches. What more needs to be said.
Just stop, Manny cut the ring off on Floyd all throughout the fight. The only problem was that Floyd would clinch him as soon as he got into punching range.
IMO it was an average performance and barely did enough each round to win.
PAC looked shot and like garbage.
What's the best things Floyd did.
- Control the straight left of Pac, his only real weapon
- Crashing Pacs output like the stock market crash of 1929
- Landing the left check hook all night while Pac was trying his famous in and out strategy, with Roach unabled to solve this problem
- Outthrowing Pac, outlanding Pac
- Took Pac best shot and then took Pacs flurry on the rope while covering up like it was nothing
But no, it wasnt Rocky vs Draco with blood all over the ring. Wasnt a fight for people who dont know the sport.
