Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Thought I Was Up, Took Foot off Gas in 11/12

[DuttyAlacrity]

I don't believe it at all because if he had shoulder issues then he would have showed it all through the fight. I remembered seeing him step back from Mayweather when he was throwing the combos when he was on the ropes but that could have been when he got the injury OR discouraged because he wasn't effective. He was throwing wild punches but before he backed off of Floyd he was not showing any signs of injury or shoulder problems.

Not to mention he stated along with Roach that they would beat Floyd so why would an injured man state that he was in terrific shape? It is there fault that they tried to play it off. I saw boxers fight with one arm and still win. Pacquiao is just embarrassed on the way he lost. He was not fighting like a man who had an injury AND I guarantee no paper work will come out of this. The NSAC has rules and from what they said Pacquiao and his team did not follow procedures correctly but wanted the shot. He lost and everyone saw his ass get shut down.

My man... I was telling my buddy the same thing yesterday

pac man has lost my respect, hes a great fighter but this is low and he hasnt mentioned God since the decision smh what a crock of sht he is!!!! what a low life THUG. he used that Jesus stuff to win the hearts of the masses and turned into a damn athiest in the end

The 11th round was telling. I thought that Floyd was going to let his foot off the pedal but he started aggressively, letting Pacquiao know what was up.

Pacquiao knew he lost. You could see it in his eyes.

I would like to see a rematch, especially if Pac was fighting with an injury.


Floyd won clearly, but the fact of the matter is that a Pac fight is still the biggest fight for Floyd (and Manny) for his last fight. A rematch with Manny would end his career with the highest possible pay day.


Pac fought so ******, tbh. He bum rushed Floyd in straight lines all night and let Floyd dictate the pace all night. That was a terrible night for Roach, I have no idea what he was thinking. FLOYD neutralized Pac, of course, and played a major part in this..... but Roach/Pac made absolutely no adjustments, they fought as if they were fighting Rios.

There was absolutely no footwork from Pac, he threw combinations in spurts and there were far too little, and his approach to getting inside of Floyd's defense was lazy and sloppy. In a rematch I still pick Floyd, but there's NO way Pac could do any worse then he did Saturday night. Roach will have to work on Manny coming in at different angles and MAKE SURE that Pac throws far more combos then just doing it every other round or so.


Maybe it's Pacs age, or a terrible gameplan/night by Roach, or maybe it's the injury, and Floyd was better, Floyd IS better..... But the way they approached that fight was just awful and they basically minimized their (Pacs) chances of winning by fighting Floyd like he was a punching bag (Rios)

ive been studying pac and i have yet to see all these angles he supposively comes in at, he pretty much always attacks straight down the pipe he just does it from a southpaw stance

Did you not read my post? I said it was a terrible gameplan by Roach. He's never fought a fighter like Floyd. They made no adjustments and fought him like he was Rios. I said he NEEDED to come in at different angles and not just charge straight into him

This dude can't even get his excuses straight. Was it the shoulder or were you robbed? Pick an excuse and stick with it.

[mannyman]

Fight of the century and you take your foot off the gas? OK.

[SplitSecond]

i thought he actually won the twelfth

[GRUSTLER]

I forgot what round it was but late in the fight Pacquiao looked so lost and frustrated he looked up in the air and had this look on his face like it was over. I'm going to find this picture.
