Just Watched Mayweather-Pacquiao Again

[Reloaded]

After two years of watching mediocre current fighters I decided to rewatch Mayweather-Pacquiao, a fight I only watched once live and never bothered with a replay (except a few highlights here and there.) I was always surprised how any fight fan could argue that Pac won the fight or that the scores should of been closer.

While rewatching the fight I was reminded by how great a fighter Floyd truly is. Pacquiao was completely at a loss on what to do to in that ring. Floyd was in complete control from the opening bell, his movement and actions dictated everything Pacquiao did. Floyd's right hand was a master class....a lot of fighters can not throw the right hand as quickly and sharply as Floyd. Against southpaw's lesser fighters lunge and fall in when they throw the right. Floyd can literally throw the right hand like a jab and never lose his balance or footing.

In addition to Pac not avoiding Floyd's right, Manny also struggled with Floyd's jab....how often do you see an orthodox fighter land as many jabs on Pac as Floyd did? Most guys cant land a jab on Pac at all! If that wasn't bad enough the footwork, Floyd's legs and feet are probably his greatest asset, he moves around the ring like it's a natural habitat. No part of the ring is a dangerous place for him to be, he knows exactly what move to make at every angle of the ring.

Yet it didn't stop there, adding to that Floyd's upper body movement was sensational, he constantly moves his head and body giving Pac the smallest target to fire at. Whether he was on the front foot or back foot he knew how to twist and contort his upper body to stay out of striking distance of Pac's fists. And if that wasn't enough brilliance, Floyd knows exactly when to clinch, exactly when to push off, exactly when to grab his opponent if necessary.

To Pac's credit he has great stamina and did not noticeably wilt like many of Floyd's opponents who become clearly frustrated and start to make mistakes. Pac was frustrated but he did not make the kind of mistakes that allowed Floyd to tee off or go inside to try to break him down.

Overall Pac was out of his depth in facing Floyd, way too much skill, way too many tactics, way too much experience for Pacquiao to overcome. I ultimately scored the fight 10-2 and even in those rounds were Pac scored flurries, Floyd was still having his way with Pac in the middle of the ring.

Most interesting of all is that the HBO commentators pretty much were silent on Pacquiao they reacted to everything Floyd did like he was the HBO fighter. Then again I can understand why, Floyd was masterful that night.

Micro management is what Floyd does in a boxing ring, you got to understand boxing to be able see the ring control brilliance that was Floyd Mayweather, haters see a runner lol, they got no idea what a master boxer he truly was.

Pacquiao won that fight. Anyone that's being real with themselves know that deep in their heart.

Pac landed all the impactful, and meaningful punches in the fight, and got almost no credit for it. While I was watching it, I was just sitting there like, hold on, am i getting punk'd by the HBO commentators? Are they really saying Floyd's winning the fight? No way in Hell Floyd won that fight.

And Floyd was clearly the bigger fighter in the ring, and still back peddled the whole night like a hoe. Think about it. Floyd almost never backs up against a southpaw, and almost always initiates, and walks his opponent down, if they're a southpaw. He was deathly afraid of Pacquiao all night, and it's not because of his reputation. It's because Floyd was tasting power shots all night, from angles he couldn't see them coming from, and he was hesitant as a *****.

Yep. Mr Pacquao won that fight. You won't believe there are people who live their lives lying to themselves. I can lie to others, but me lying to myself? That's just gross especially when as they say, it's all caught on tape!!

That's the problem with pact@rds right there. Emotional feminine creatures they are think with their hearts.

translation: i watched the fight again and found out how much of a nuthugger i am

7- 5 floyd , don't have a problem with 8-4, that's just 1 round difference really but truth is the fight was more competitive than scores...

"reach" played a good role on the outcome imo..surprised to see pac land his own version of the pullcounter tho....

Agreed, I haven't watched It In quite a while but I believe I scored It 8-4 for Floyd.

Floyd on cruise control still beat Pac fair and square. He spent 12 rounds figuring out what he was going to spend his earnings on.

And since then, b*tches be sniffing around for crumbs to hang on to, desperate to keep their hero Pac on a pedestal.

8-4, move on.

LMAO he looked scared as hell for all 12 rounds, and like he was deathly afraid to even sneeze wrong near Manny.

And the Warriors are the cheapest team in NBA history.

[Kigali]

Floyd landed those two right hand counters in the first and Pac fought scared the entire rest of the way.

[Xi_]

Pacquiao fought like a complete b1tch the entire fight. He was totally scare of floyd.

Yup. It wasn't that they were really hard and hurt Pacquaio, it's that Pacquaio had no idea where they came from. He realized he was in with someone who was faster.
