    agree with your points. if anyone scored that fight for floyd (i certainly didnt), it would had to have been on some technicality like "fight took place at his pace", cos pacquiao certainly won the clean punching and overall punches landed count (numerous youtube videos point to this clearly).

    I think its fair to argue that bradley actually hurt pac more than floyd did lol.

        Anybody who has this a close or a Bradley win is just dumb or hate on MAnny. Manny outboxed, outbrawled, outspeed out anything u want Bradley. I gave Tim 3 rounds but could have give him 4 MAX. 1 KD was a slip thats for sure but Manny just beat him easily.

          Well, what can I say.

          Speed kills.

          The real Atg has done it again!

          Now that's how you end a stellar career! Cough cough! Berto.. Cough.. Cough..

          Hats of Pac for giving us exciting fights even if your opponents tend to run and hide. You still find ways to make it exciting.

          Cheers!

            CompuBox suggests otherwise.

                Oh the rigged compubox.

                Case in point.

                #This gif shows how inaccurate compubox is and how the eyes can be fooled into thinking who hit who in real time. If you blink you won't catch the punch that really connected in this exchange. Guess who got one in? Yep, it's not floyd it's Pac as always. The right jab went in straight to Floyd's jaw. While again Floyd had to foul and push Pac's head so he can stop Pac from heating up. And as usual the hometown boy gets the point in the compubox.



                Compublind, that's another way of putting this manipulation of perception.

                Floyd's cowardly excuse for boxing ***** that night, was an exercise of how to rip off boxing fans with their hard earned money, set in the biggest stage of boxing ever.

                The architect of the art of run and hug tactics is a recipe for an energy diffusing bore fest fight that should not be associated with the legends of the game who has given us treasures of epic battles to enjoy.

                Sadly, Floyd's performance was not one of those. His was designed to create an illusion that running and hugging is enough to win a bout as long as Vegas was on his side nothing was impossible. As we now have witnessed. The biggest sports heist in history happened.

                    Did Pacquiao win though? I didn't see that, and I dislike Mayweather a great deal. Admittedly, I didn't rewatch the fight several times/analyzed RBR, etc. But watching it live, I clearly had Floyd winning most rounds. That's just the unbiased take watching it live. I remember seeing Floyd controlling the fight and boxing beautifully, making Manny look basic and one dimensional in the process.
