I'm turning in my scorecard after watching the replay of May-pac for the 1st time

[MrRolltide91]

This! ^^^^^^^

He actually showed his hand too soon in offering Pac a rematch and then took it back.

yep.........

[U.O.M.B]

How you had it 7-5 Mayweather is beyond me.. Manny was clearly the aggressor and scored ATLEAST 8 rounds for him, corrupt vegas judges.

They moved Floyd because Floyd is always looking to mitigate the force of impact by making exaggerated movements away from the punch, which gives the eye the illusion he was hit harder than he was. It's all about damage control for Floyd.

And of course Floyd wasn't trying to take Manny out. He's far too measured with his punch output. He could still knock folks out if he put more punches together, but that's not Floyd.. But....when he did throw, he was throwing with authority. Just as hard as PAC, and that's one reason why he had PAC the most gunshy we've ever seen him.

good post. that's what I saw. Floyd established that straight right within the first few seconds and pac did not like how that felt

kobe also went down and grabbed his foot, Kobe also grabbed his arm when he tore his rotator went to the bench complained came back in a played left handed.

Balls and adrenaline. I don't doubt Pac's injury is real and he just fought through it. He shouldn't blame the loss on the injury though, just makes him look sour and he would have got a lot of respect if he just accepted defeat and healed up afterwards without bringing too much attention to it.

Hope they throw this on HBOgo soon so I can rewatch it. I was too drunk and angry watching it live last week.

The fight was extremely hard to score, do you just score it for Floyds range finder weak jab? the activity was so minimal, do you give Credit to Floyd for landing shots on Pacs gloves while Pac had his glove near his face?

Floyd fans are the saddest, they act like this was an azz whooping, the one judge who had it 118-110 had me shaking me head, I had it 7-5 for Floyd, but most people thought it was a draw around me.

It was a disappointed fight, and win for Floyd, his father wanted him to outdo Marquez and Morales but doing a sensational combo punch win similar to how he beat Gatti, Pac was ready to be taken out, he was a dead goose but Floyd hesitated, I believe Floyd was scared of Pacs power, I underestimated Pacs power big time, he hurt Floyd in the fight while Floyd couldnlt hurt him.

All in All its not a win to boast about, its like Pac fans if they were to boast about his win over Marquez in the 3rd fight, its a weak win and any fan of Floyd should be disappointed he is the man who controls the fight, yet didnt finish the show with action and long reach combos, he had the clear reach advantage.

I was embarrassed for boxing that night.

That judge was Dave Moretti who has judged 9 of Floyd's last 11 fights. For the first 6 rounds where Maidana was at his best, Moretti gave Maidana little credit in the Maidana 1 fight. Yet, they had Dave Moretti back to jusge fight #2. Just crazy and su****ious.

So I expected that type of scoring from him against Manny.

i had it for floyd the night of the fight, after being sober and re watching several times i cant find myself able to give more than 4 rounds to floyd, he missed so much.. just watch and watch close with good vision most jabs are picked off or missed completely

This was between the more effective telling blows vs pitty patty shots that were just gracing Pac.

If you ask a lot of people who got hurt the most in this fight, it was Floyd. That alone shows who put the hurt in the hurt game.

This to most saw Pac winning just by effective aggression pinning Floyd over and over to the ropes, and making Floyd run for dear life. And the more telling blows which also gave the more highlight worthy punches of the night was pac's.
Pac clearly won, the least should have been a draw. It was that obvious who truly won that night and its not the one who got booed after being announced he won it.

scorecard dis **** below!

[Spoon23]

I watched the fight again on Friday and watched it carefully. My scorecard was very similar to yours. I had it 114-114.

A lot are seeing the light.

Minimum here is a draw. To give Floyd the W, will get a boo from the crowd.

As how it all went out.

It's obviously smoke and mirrors, the judge giving 2 rounds shows you how influential Floyd is in Vegas, that right there was a glaring sign Pac won't win a decision against Floyd. He needed a KO in Vegas.

[MDPopescu]

Jesus. Pacquiao turned into Floyd with those one-punch shots but they were hardly noticeable. Because it is EXPECTED of Pacquiao to throw combination bombs, shots like that were ignored.

... nobody expected Pacman to turn it into a chess match... nobody expected a career low volume...

I had it 9-3 for Floyd watching it live. I gave Pacquiao rounds 4, 6, and 7. I was texting my brother during the fight while we scored it and I distinctly remember a couple of occasions stating that I was going to give Floyd the round, even though he was highly inactive. Case in point, for example, was the 10th round. I gave it to Floyd watching it live but when I went back and watched it there is a very long stretch of inactivity from Floyd while Pacquiao is chasing. I get that you don't get to score if you don't land punches, but if neither fighter is landing, you have to score it for the busier fighter.

The two judges that scored the fight 116-112 gave Pacquiao rounds 4,6, 9, and 10.

I personally can't see 9, but that's just me.

As I stated in another topic, most people have Floyd winning, and outcry from Pacquiao fans is meek at best. It was Floyd winning, and he got it done convincingly. I celebrated as much as the next Floyd fan when I saw it live. However, it's not like this was one of his best performances ever, or a clinic for that matter.

Mayweather-Baldomir, Mayweather-Corrales, and Mayweather-Mosley after round 2 was a clinic. Winky Wright-Tito Trinidad, Pacquiao-Clottey, and Mosley-Margarito was a clinic...okay, that last one was technically a beatdown of epic proportions but you get the picture.

I'm happy that Floyd won, yet surprised to see the aftermath of the fight and the hypocrisy swirling all around. You got haters saying that Floyd lost the fight (deluded), you got praisers saying it was a "masterful performance" (bit of a stretch), and then you got celebrities saying "this is boxing. the art of hitting and not getting hit", yet they probably don't have a clue as to who Paulie Malignaggi, Ivan Calderon, or Guillermo Rigondeaux are.

I'm done, fellas. ¡Viva Puerto Rico and viva Mexico!

*Drops mic*

Pretty damn impressive post. Props.
