Comments Thread For: Holyfield Backs Pacquiao: I Felt He Won The Fight!

[lacson]

Holyfield knows what he's talking about. Just because you can jettison yourself 10 ft away doesn't mean you were winning. Pac landed the most significant punches. Mayweather missed a lot just as Pac missed a lot.

Obviously those who prefer the running style would consider it a blowout for Mayweather. Those who prefer aggression obviously will say Pac won and a lot of fans thought Pac won. Even fans who never watch boxing thought Pac won because he was always trying to make the fight and the other one keeps running away from the fight.

It is what it is.

As a Pacquiao fan, I knew that the only way he would win is by knockout, because there is no way you will ever get a decision over Mayweather in Vegas. After watching the fight on Saturday, I saw it as a draw and after watching it again I still see it as a draw, but I can easily give Pacquiao rounds 4,6,9,10 and maybe the 8th, and I can easily give Mayweather the 3rd and 11th round and everything else is even. Sadly this fight did more harm than good to the sport of boxing, and every one was judging the fights based on what Pacquiao has done in the past that he couldn't do in this fight, but what about what Mayweather couldn't do, he couldn't drop Pacquiao let alone Knock him out, all he did was hit Pacquiao's gloves with most of those jabs and they were counted as landed punches, Pacquiao was the aggressor and hit
Meayweather with a few solid left that made Mayweather block in some rounds, all Mayweather did was run away, like always, but that's all he has to do to win in Vegas. Everybody wants to say that Mayweather out threw and out landed Pacquiao, but forgets the fact that Jose Luis Castillo out threw and out landed Mayweather in the first fight, and somehow Mayweather still won the fight. And all these casual boxing fans that Mayweather lovers that say that Mayweather schooled Pacquiao and dominated him, then that means that Marquez won the first 3 fights against Pacquiao, because Pacquiao clearly looked in way worst shape after fight Marquez than after Mayweather. The fact is that Mayweather is an entertainer not a boxer that's why the only Mayweather fights I've ever payed to see was against Pacquiao and Cotto, and any idiot that can't see that is just ****** and doesn't know anything about the sport of boxing.

Exactly if Floyd actually fought fair and stopped clinching 30 times a round I could accept him beating Pacquiao. This fight was a joke, I don't even consider it a fight. It was like pac was chasing a chicken and everytime he caught it the chicken would just grab on for dear life. Just lol @ these *****s relishing in this victory, a bunch of low life losers.

I read on sbnation, a photo caption saying 'floyd dominates pacquiao, here seen dodging punches, scoring points'

Newsflash, u dont get points for dodging punches.

I get ring generalship and all but if the guy who is clearly trying to evade punches then in my eyes hes clearly the guy losing....

I thought pac outboxed may honestly, a perfect balance between aggressor and boxer...

First of all you aren't honestly speaking. He in no way shape or form outboxed Mayweather. I watched this fight again with an open mind this time..and you cant give him more that 4 rounds. Single digit punch connections.....And A man who is clearly trying to evade punches is part of boxing...This is one of the most ridiculous things i've read on here, cause it seems like it's coming from someone intelligent. SB nation? Really?? Read Dan Rafeal's article on ESPN, and if you know boxing you know he is one of the biggest Manny Fans in the world and even he had it easily for floyd..YOu are reaching...and really honestly you look ridiculous...

Wow you know out of all the experts and boxing writers, you are the only one who says this....You are clueless and you are trying to making your argument by putting numbers on your comment, but you still make no sense...Your scorecard is way off, and i'm questioning if you even watched the fight and are taking notes from others posting..Even with an open mind you can give manny tops 2 rounds...this is ****** and responding to you has actually lowered my iq..you are a clown
