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

[reeflegend]

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.

No a lot of fans didnt think he won. Only the delusional ones like yourself. Just cause you don't like a style of fight doesn't mean the figure los. Maywether didnt miss as much as Pac did, look at the numbers, you're talking out of your ass. stop and get over it...NO fans thats never watched boxing can comment on a fight, cause they think two idiots go in the ring and just beat each other up with no style or anything..your point is invalid..and you are just like everyone else, reaching...ENOUGH....

You know what's funny, I respect both these dudes but I can't f'ing wait for them to go and take a huge chunk of the trolls with them. I was critical of the shoulder thing until USADA confirmed it which gives it validity and all that but for ***sake don't say that last night, wait a few days. Let that information come out organically and all that. You were hurt back out of the fight, that's fine...just don't need a narrative about that shh too for years to come. It's sad that the sport is like hundreds of boxers deep and 90% of the talk is about these two men. And good luck selling a rematch of that.

i usually disagree with your views, but thats the best post of your life.

p.s holyfield should not be interviewed ever again

I had almost exactly the same... This was my actual scoring as the fight progressed... I havent re watched it yet tho...

R1. 10-9 may
R2. 10-9 may
r3: 10-9 pac
R4: 10-9 pac
R5: 10-9 pac, could be may too
R6: 10-9 pac
R7: 10-9 pac or may
R8: 10-9 pac
R9: pac
R10: pac
R11: may
R12: draw or pac

Total

Pac: 9
May: 3

Best possible for may:

May: 6
Pac: 6

Glad to know im not alone!

I am speechless, you need to get a new tv.

Wow!! I honestly don't see how some people r so adamant that Pacquiao won the fight or hav it a draw. 1 the fight is over with now. 2 all the judges had Mayweather winning comfortably, all the commentators had Mayweather winning comfortably. The network judges had Mayweather winning comfortably. And remember it was both networks not just Showtime not just HBO. The best case scenario for these networks is a draw or a controversial decision. But yet on air they said by what they saw there is no reason or merit for a rematch. Max Kellerman looked at Pacquiao like he was crazy after he said he thought he won the fight and Malinaggi called him a sore looser. Now post fight. Why even bring up the shoulder if u truly thought u won the fight? I saw after just the first round that Pacquiao looked discouraged and frustrated going back to his corner. After the first round. Pacquiao looked defeated after the fight and In my opinion I believe everything that he and his team said after the fight is to save face and possibly stir something up for a rematch.

You cannot win when the other guy hits you twice as many times as you hit him .

Manny lost and was shutdown , when all these guys go home and score the fight watching it on TV , they will ALL say Floyd won clearly .

MANNY THE EXCUSE OF THE DECADE .

[megadeth]

Like I said before (), knowing him personally makes this statement suck even more.

If you know him personally, please counsel him. He needs help!

I notice anyone who dksab and don't follow the sport seems to think pacquiao won the fight, but boxing fans think Floyd won. To me if you look at the fight from a round by round perspective Floyd obviously won. If your just watching the fight as a fightfan you could think Manny won Because of the unwillingness to trade, timidness and holding on behalf of Mayweather. Plus Floyd was hurt on several occasions

Several times he was hurt lol , you people are fckn tripping .

Dont blame Mayweather for being Mayweather , Manny was sht scared to be Manny .

Floyd is way too good for Manny thats the bottom line .

Holyfield, Filipino's, Top Rank staff/fighters, Roach and ******s are the only people in the world who thought Manny won.

Holyfield was a great fighter but he's a crackpot.

Mayweather landed about 5 or 6 clean good shots on Manny over 12 roundsied

Manny otherwise belted him around on the ropes, albeit with only little effect also because Floyd defended so well.

But it's entirely reasonable to score it for Manny given this. All else equal scoring for the offender is justified in my opinion.

I'm not saying that scoring it for Floyd was WRONG, indeed I thought Floyd deserved it personally, or atleast a draw or SD win.

But Holyfield is one of the most level headed fighter analysts around. How dare you level accusations at him like this! Holyfield and Tyson are 2 of the more unbiased former fighters with regards to commentary.

Just for those who keep saying Pacquiao clearly landed and threw more. I posted a screenshot of the actual fight because a Pacquiao fan actually told me that the CompuBox stat sheet was fabricated :/
