Getting people to agree on similar scores on this fight is hard.
Getting people to agree on who won, however, is easier to do.
Honestly, this fight is closer than what one of those judges had, Manny did better than that for sure, but Floyd was the winner. Manny was only successful in rare moments, backed off when he hurt him and was visibly tentative for large portions. Yes he was the aggressor for large parts but he was barely effective. Like I said, he was too tentative to get off anything great. You can look aggressive all night, but if you are in fact tentative at the same time then it results in the type of aggression that plays into the hands of Floyd, literally.
It isn't hard to understand this. I love Manny's fights, but he lost last week. Be it his injury, Floyd being superior or both...He lost and some guys need to accept that.
And I am not one of those guys that thinks a round is automatically Floyds unless he is dominated, as it seems some people are. I am pretty neutral about this whole May-Pac situation, I just think some people need to let go of the idea of Manny deserving to win because he was coming forward.
