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.
