Manny had a good night defensively by his standards. Partly because he was more defensively responsible, which at times bordered on being tentative. But also, Floyd threw a lotta "stay off me" punches. Which kept Manny off balanced and kept forcing him to reset.

You are correct. Floyd tasted Pac's power and he respected it. Floyd didn't fall into the "I'm a lot taller than him" trap. If a guy shorter than you, weighs the same as you, and he isn't fat, then he has more muscle or thicker bones. I thought before the fight that Floyd hit just as hard as Pac if he tried to punch as hard. Nope, Pac has some real heat. Floyd just nullified his power after he felt it, and made it look like a Mayweather fight. Floyd is great, and you know he is great because even his haters, have to find great fighters from the past to claim he would lose to them.Comment

Was waiting for this stat which validates why I saw. Pac's defense was on point, slipping perfect counters from some one who barely misses. This coupled with the fact that Mayweather was literally waiting for him with the right at every instant made for a very impressive defensive showing for him all things considered. Too bad it was at the cost of his offensive output.Comment

Floyd's jab won him the fight. He missed a lot with his right but his jab was there all night and pac just couldn't close the distance on him. And when he did floyd was very crafty with the clinches.
I thought the strength difference played a big role as well. Floyd was controlling pac with his arms pushing him down or back when ever pac got close.
It was a disappointing fight. Floyd what did what he does best which is to win with as little contact as possible. Basically winning the fight by not fighting. And Pac just didn't have any answer. Props to floyd.Comment

They don't know how to cope with this loss, they have decided to simply just lean on "Floyd was boring". Notice it took the die hard Manny **** boys to even build up the courage to log onto their accounts. They don't want to bring up that this is Manny's all time low punches landed in a 12 round fight, I mean for Mr. Angles, Mr. I'm in the best shape of my life, Mr. I got my killer instinct back, Mr. I Can Overwhelm Him. His performance beyond patheticComment

Pac was **** and Floyd was ok. Its funny seeing some use dismantled and Floyd schooled Pac lol. He made him cautious and took away his ability to fight normally, but he was **** on offense and didn't capitalize either except for a few spots. And compubox is BS. Watch the fight in slow MO or watch it close almost all the punches thrown by both didn't land. Floyd's jabs literally all missed in one round lol.Comment

for real.. the jab was the difference in this fight..power punches were about the same but it was obvious , pac's was the more damaging thus Floyd got on his bike..
Floyd tried to fight his usual vs southpaws but couldn't beat pac that way, there was no way he could've so he did what he does best , he ran....Comment

Manny lost, looked horrible losing. Floyd fans have told you for 6 years what last Saturday would be. You disputed it, to the death, trying to convince Floyd fans that not only would Manny beat him, but he would destroy the coward. You got made to look like a liar & an emotional idiot that knows nothing about boxing. You're upset, I get it. But what you and the rest of your clan need to cut it out. It's pathetic.Comment
