Comments Thread For: Arum: Fight Was Very Close, I Thought Pacquiao Won

[aboutfkntime]

That's definitely what's going on here... Day1 the thought that Manny won was laughable. A week later there were a handful that were saying it was close but that was mostly shot down. A few weeks later every 48 fan believes it was close and about 50% are claiming a draw or a victory in "de soopa slo moshun's" lmao... It's crazy. Almost like how most EVERYONE had Marquez winning the 3rd PAC fight and by now (after slow motion and foot stomping review) he came came close "but just didn't do enough"

That is exactly what happened.

On May 3rd..... crickets, not one pacstain in sight.

A few days later came the injury claim, that claim was then echoed vehemently by people who were blissfully unaware of Pacs "injury" during/after the fight.

Then a few days later, some moron crawled out of his hole and stated that Pac won LOL.....

Poor Manny.... nobody gives a ****. They all talking about GGG now. lmao

And yet you are here.

No question Pacquiao won the fight. If you went by the commentary, he was thoroughly embarrassed though.

I never go by that or phantom punches the crowd goes for ...90 perfect of they're boxing peers say he win who thought PAC won Holyfield and .....oh skip bayless...arum says a draw in some forums ...of anyone think PAC win this fight they are completely blind ...it wasn't close ...you know it's bad when your own network says you loss by 4 points ...c'mon stop the bs

[Bep3373]

I've said many times. Without that injury Pac stops him easy. Look at how bad he made Floyd look. That's why he ran. He was avoiding that power.

You believe the injury excuse ...1 question you believe in Santa clause too...he could never beat Floyd that's why majority of peers said he couldn't win vas that he lost whine you idiots come up with bs and conspiracy theories lol ...you *******s are amazing

Yup in the eyes of manNy, Pac won that night. Right on the money Bob.

It was a close cat and mouse contest that these floyd fans are taking it really hard and in need of comforting one other to ease the pain..

The pain that their boy had a hard time with a one handed fighter.

Fixed it for you =)

Told you before...Easy win for TBE!

if you repeat a lie loud and long enough small minded people will start to believe it

Anyone on earth who thinks Pac won that fight either needs their head examined, their eyes examined or they need to seriously stop watching boxing anymore. This is just absurdity. How can anyone win a fight when they land 18% of their punches and a total of 80 in an entire fight. Seriously. If anyone can give Pac more than 2 rounds, 3 max, I would love to see a round by round synopsis and justification of that. I have watched the fight 6 times and I think I literally saw Pac land 3-5 100% clean punches the entire fight. Not arms, not shoulders, not partially blocked, but legitimately clean. If you take out round 4 of that fight, it is almost so lopsided its comical. I know some of you worship Pac but my God, live in reality. I get Roach and Arum being full of bs and claiming he won, sure they are in his camp and have a vested $ interest in him. But you fans look pathetic. It is quite sad. I have never seen such overwhelming hate used to literally try and change history and facts of what happened in a fight to somehow spin this into a robbery for Pac or some "one-handed" fighter bs. I love rewatching the fight and seeing Pac swing his right arm at air wildly trying to connect with Floyd. What an injury huh? I knew this was going to be bad and a situation where no matter what Floyd did he could not win in some fans or the public's eye but this has been exponentially more pathetic. If I was Floyd, no matter how much money was involved I would NEVER EVER do business with Arum/TR again, fight any of their fighters and absolutely NEVER give Pac a rematch. He deserves NOTHING after that post-fight display of delusion and excuses. I lost all respect for Pac after this fight, period. He truly embarrassed himself and all of his supporters. I was also actually surprised at how ineffective he was and I always knew he was technically limited and could not make adjustments but he performed even worse than I thought. Goes to show you what specific matchmaking, catchweights and "other stuff" can do for a fighter lol. Pathetic.

easy fight to score

I am a manny pacquiao fan since birth. I hated floyd when I first open the chapters of his career. But when I studied him more in the latter years, I began to appreciate everything that he is, his beliefs, style and skill. Until I finally can say that I'm not just a fan of manny pacquiao, but a true fan of the sport.
I wasn't really planning on going back here on my account after the May 2 fight. Because I was ashamed of pacquiao's performance. And i didn't have the balls to read the criticisms of everyone here regarding it.

To my surprise, when I checked today, people are still supporting him and his team. And even thought that the fight was close. I totally disagree.
Even for a die hard pac fan like me, I had Floyd winning 10 rounds to 2. It could be 9 rounds to 3 if you are being generous.

At the end of the day you can't beat Floyd mayweather like that. At his own phase and at his own game. The reason why people gave pac a chance in the first place was because they thought he'll make it as awkward as possible for floyd by throwing powershots at different angles. None of that happened.
All night he couldn't find mayweather. Mayweather didn't run. Mayweather was relaxed, focus and sharpshooted at any distance he controlled. While pac was frustrated and didn't know what exactly to do. You can't box a masterboxer, you have to used your own specialty, and pac failed to use his.

Im still skeptical about the shoulder injury. But if its true and they'll rematch, no matter how healthy pacquiao is, if he fights that way again, at Floyd's phase. We'll be getting the same result.

Props for admitting that. This is what a true fan looks like.
