Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Score it Round By Round, You'll See I Won!

[GRUSTLER]

Scoring fights is entirely subjective, there's no right and wrong, just opinion.

Judges are supposed to be experts at scoring fights, yet all Manny would have to do is point to the Bradley decision to negate the validity of that notion, judges can't even agree with each other most of the time.

The man is entitled to his personal opinion, we all have one and so can he, especially since he was the one in there doing the work.

The 1st Bradley fight was Arum's decision trying to market Bradley off of Pacquiao's name and that's why Manny didn't protest.

It wasn't a difficult fight to score, 10 rounds to 2.

Gimme a break-a small minority of idiots wish Pac won, but anyone who knows how to judge a fight by the 4 criteria would know Pac lost.

Vegas didn't rob Pac in this fight at all and cheers or boos do NOT equate to winning.

As for "running"-this is a bit false. As long as you are using movement to set something up or even utilize a jab to get respect, then it's not running.Likewise, if you are moving out of the way of your opponents offense it is not running.
Have you watched Ali....the same guy who used a LOT of movement when his legs were fresh.

Movement is fine, every boxer use movement. Real boxing defence like slipping, blocking, parrying, countering. Those take skill.

Running 10 ft away from your opponent is running. Jettisoning yourself to the opposite side of the ring is running. Should not be getting ring generalship points for that. Track and field skills do not belong in boxing.

Pac has been on the end of a few controversial decisions now, but that can happen as he is seen as a immigrant in america and has to accept it.

Pac shouldnt worry that he was given a controversial decision against Floyd. He will get a rematch when his shoulder is healed up as Floyd is a gentleman.

Wow! The whole world just sees how crazed this guy & his fans are more everyday.

You should see what the rest of the world is saying. They think Pac got robbed. Your small world is the only place where running and disengaging from a fight is considered winning.

This isn't mine but someone did a great job breaking down the fight to actually see the punch scores.

Just shows how screwed up the compubox numbers were. Those guys should not be allowed near a ring ever again.

12 days and counting. They are still crying

Just because Mayweather didn't stand still and let Pac swing for the fences doesn't mean he was running. Mayweather stood in front of Pac a lot during that fight, Pac just couldn't capitalize on the opportunities.....

This new phenomenon of scoring fights in slow motion inspired me to watch all of Pacquiao's fights in slow motion, and you guessed it. He's actually slow mo undefeated.
although some fights were a little trickier. the 4th Marquezfight for instance. You have to play that in slow mo, but also backwards. When you play it just right you see the fight starts with Manny taking a prefight nap, when he wakes up. He jumps to his feet, and this is where you start the Pink Floyd album. Once he jumps to his feet he kicks Marquez's ass until he throws up ****.
The Mayweather fight is the trickiest yet though.
For that one with the standing around confused, punching arms, and gloves, and tearing his rotator cuff by swinging wildly at shadows. It's best to watch that by actually turning it off, and putting the 2nd Bradley fight on instead. When you do that Pacquiao clearly wins.
Pacman 65-0

hahahahaha brilliant!

He also ran a lot when he felt the heat. He also held and clinched a lot when he felt the heat. He also used a lot of headlocks when he felt the heat.

I recall very clearly his father calling him a coward. Something like "you're fighting scared man".
