scoring for mayweather

[them_apples]

The problem with mayweather is he has found a way to beat the system, but not beat the boxer in front of him.

There are a couple of reasons for this:

In Vegas they don't score draw rounds. If mayweather lands 3 more jabs, they give it to him. If nothing happens, he gets in by default.

Running shouldn't be discriminated against since the sport is about hitting and not being hit. The real problem is when floyd buys time and kills 2 minutes of a round by staying away, then wins the round with about 30 seconds of activity.

These are 2 factors why people say he dominates (on the cards) but in reality he hasn't wooped anyone.

In theory I can see why pacquiao felt robbed, floyd was winning rounds by running, clinching and landing sometimes a single grazing right hand near the end to pick up a round that should have been a draw.

I also question how anyone could have given floyd the first maidana fight? He certainly lost the first 6 rounds and maybe won 2 rounds near the end.

Go find a round in the Manny fight where Floyd stayed away for 2 minutes. Floyd was in the pocket 60%-70% of the fight. People need to learn the difference between running and getting in the position you want to throw your punches.

The op tips his hand when he opens with "The problem with Mayweather." It's not a problem, it's boxing, the only ones who have a problem with it are the ones who want him to lose.

And he didn't run in this fight, but a couple times when Manny was just straight charging him. He stood in the center of the ring 90% of the fight, but he still wasn't giving Pacquaio the angles to hit him.

And people are acting like all Floyd landed was jabs, he also out landed Manny in power shots. You win rounds by landing the more effective punches, Floyd landed the more effective punches in at least 10 rounds. There is no scheme, no mystery, that's how you always win the rounds in boxing. And once you've landed the more effective punches in a round and know you are winning it, it's up to the other guy to force the issue and ensure that he turns that around, Pacquiao could not do that.

Every good fighter that's ever boxed (including Pacquiao) has won some rounds the same way Mayweather did, by being more effective and then by stopping the other guy from doing anything.

Mayweather did what he's been doing for the past few latter years of his career and that's pot-shot his way to victory.

The last time I properly saw him let his hands go was in the later rounds against Hatton.

Since then, it's been the same **** every fight. I got what I expected from him.

It's Pacquaio who people should be mad at for his piss poor performance and inability to impose his style on the fight.

[DeadLikeMe]

So...Floyd is too good at the sport of boxing so we should change boxing....because, you know, Manny is really the best and if Floyd beat him it means the sport has to change to reflect that manny is the best.

Dirk and DeadLikeMe have given us everything needed. thanks, nothing more to see.

[El-blanco]

He always lands clean punches and rarely ever gets hit clean. He doesn't even get hit clean to the body. It might not be exciting but it wins rounds.

Pretty much everything said here. It has been almost a month gents I know it hurts but it is time to move on.

you never see any judges score 10-10 rounds anymore. its not just vegas.

secondly, if Floyd is doing nothing for 2 minutes out of the round, what the hell is the opponent doing for those same 2 minutes?

third, so you had maidana winning 10 rounds ?

bottom line, I have never seen a fighter win a fight without landing any punches. and if you wanna blame somebody blame his opponents for not making him fight there fight.

the hate on this site for one boxer is incredible.

its like the first 12 years of floyds career doesn't matter. only the last 7 count.

the man was dominating fighters with offense too in his prime.

but a lot of you guys never even seen him fight til he was a welterweight.

you cant go 48-0 running around a boxing ring, the judges would have took at least one fight from him for running.

mayweather perfected fighting at his pace. just as the greats before him did.
