Comments Thread For: Holyfield on Mayweather-Pac: A lot of Running, Hugging

[ADP02]

Its sad that through all the running and clinching he managed to land at a 30%+ clip with 81 power punches landed. Manny landed 81 period....actually he landed over 50 or 60 more shots than PAC


PAC was never as good as the media made him


He is great but no boxing strategist...he does the same thing every fight

What you didn't point out is that Manny was fighting with one arm and that Manny still managed to get Floyd to land the least amount of punches ever in a fight too.

Floyd I guess is not that good. He had a one handed fighter and looked scared all night long. Floyd Sr said it. So did SRL and Larry Holmes.

Those stats are a nonsense, read daggum's thread.

Yeah, hes totally objective.

I dont care what fighter does it, always been against it.

Excessive clinching should not be left only to a referees discretion, it doesn't work, and we have fights to prove it. Watch Wlad. K. last performance
.

This is the reason why.


1. IF A fighter gets trapped against the ropes, it should be his job to work his way out again.

2. Clinching every time a fighter traps you against the ropes is cheap exploitation, the REF does the work for you and BAILS you out. It is not his job to bail him out, that is for the fighter.

3. Clinching should only be used when a fighter is visibly hurt.



Basically there's a loop hole that's being exploited.

The way clinching is allowed to be exploited, it removes one of the essential aspects of BOXING, INSIDE FIGHTING. The referee bails out the fighter who clinches, throwing away all the hard work that was done to put him on the ropes by his opponent.


If you re-evaluate, look at how much fighters clinch, 50+ to 80+ a fight????? It's ridiculous!

I'am going to quote myself, i have yet to hear a reason against it.

The last Klitchko fight was a good example. It was being used as a tactic, and that needs to be regulated, and warned against excessive clinching.

Once it is being exploited, the ref should issue warnings, and deduct points.

I'll say it again, I have yet to hear a good argument against it.

Would like to hear it if it's there.

Pacquiao should have hired this guy for sparring.




Pathetic.

Speed isn't the problem, smart one.

Manny STILL can't cut off the ring.

With a trainer that won trainer of the year 7 times.

It just keeps getting better.

"Mayweather completely disarmed him, thats his job"--Bernard Hopkins

Floyd fought scared said Floyd Sr, SRL and Larry Holmes.

As for disarming, that happened about a month earlier when Manny got injured.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

"If he eh just stand still I can throw punches" 48 Pacquiao

HE REALLY SAID THAT.

Let that sink in. Like Floyd fans have been saying for years he was never skilled, talented, fast, powerful or smart enough to EVER stand a chance with TBE.

Well you know compubox isn't accurate because they don't have the benefit of replays and slo-mo. It's dangerous to make a point based on their totals which is what pugilist was doing.

The same arm he threw constantly?

The same arm he raised at the end o the fight?

The same arm his corner didnt mention ONCE?
