Pacquiao Clean Punches Against Mayweather

[Robbie Barrett]

What you said does not even make any sense.

Why would the ref say "Keep them up" unless he determined it to be a low blow? Your response was, "because Pacquiao faked a low blow"???
No, those words were not for Manny but for Floyd as a warning to "keep them up"

Its not up to Manny to have his gloves that low in that situation. Its up to Floyd to make sure that his punches are above the belt line. Manny got enough of the blow that the ref said not hurt so keep the action going. If Manny needed time, the ref would have stopped the action and given Manny up to 5 minutes. Again, Manny got enough of the punch not to warrant that 5 minutes but he would have got it, if required.

Manny didn't have to be on the floor rolling for the ref to conclude that Floyd be warned to "keep them up". Sometimes its off the mark and in no way would you think that it would affect the balls area but still the ref would tell the fighter to "keep them up".

He didn't see the punch land, look where he's stood. He took PEDmans word because he faked a low blow.

Pacquaio suffered from aesthetic presumptions and some of the work he did in there was underrated/under appreciated.

He did what Floyd always does, which is land some good one-punch counters BUT that is not expected of him. What is expected of him is flurry and to bum-rush opponents and throw a lot of punches. That or a clean KO a la Ricky hatton.

Most of that stuff went unnoticed. If he didn't flurry, he didn't get the round even if it was a close round and both guys landed some of the same punches as these gifts show.

I still had Floyd up 7-5, but to say that Pac got schooled is pure hyperbole. NO, Floyd didn't get pummeled as some were predicting. That's all there was to it.

Edit. You are changing your story

Also u are wrong. At the point of initial contact Floyd's punch was low. It would not have hit where it did unless it gets deflected as it did.

^ This. Mayweather schooled pacquiao by ducking below the belt and almost touch the canvass with his gloves, clinching when pacquiao's coming, uses his elbow and pushing down pacquiao's head to make a distance. That's pure boxing doe. Hell, pacquiao made the fight entertaining when countering mayweather, but he's getting outbalanced and uncomfortable when mayweather's clinching and elbowing(distance) him. Mayweather did nothing significant on that night that defines boxing. All i see was hugging and running, elbowing.

If you make valid points, I can at least disagree but accept your point of view but you didn't so I can't.

Well my point was that the things that you say are invalid because you're clearly biased.

I don't see what's so hard to understand about this. The definition of a low blow is one that "lands below an opponent's waist". If it doesn't land below the waist, how the **** can it be a low blow.

This what we're dealing with though. People who want to change the rules to what they want them to be.

I disagree with your sentiment. The only close rounds that could have gone either way were rounds 9 and 10. I thought 4 and 6 were Pacquiao rounds and the rest were Mayweather rounds. Even in the rounds where Pacquiao did flurry his punches were often missing or blocked. His work while Floyd was against the ropes was messy and he sometimes ate counter punches while coming in, which probably explained why he was so tentative.

I think in the center of the ring Floyd easily controlled Manny with his jab and left hook. Pacquiao's jab was near nonexistent, he rarely landed it and only threw it as a range finder. This was probably not a "schooling" but it was a clear victory for Floyd. 10 rounds to 2 is not an outrageous score.

any fans without agenda would be saying this. it was a tactical match in which pac loss because judges expect more from him and pbf do his usual stuff.
nobody was schooled as some claim. it was a close tactical match, not a 10-2 type of score.

Round 6 was actually close in my book. Gave it to #48 anyway.
