Just Watched Mayweather-Pacquiao Again

[Panopticon]

Floyd had 3 good rounds (1, 5, 11) and Pacquiao had about 3 good rounds himself(4, 6, 8) and the rest were for the most part uneventful even rounds that could go either way. I give Floyd round 2. Round 3 was a closer round that I still give him. I tend to give Pac round 7 and 10. I don't remember how round 9 played out so I don't know who that went to, and Round 12 was up for debate as neither guy did much.

So basically if you ask me, the fight was competitive. I have watched the HBO/Show broadcast and the Boxnation broadcasts and neither team was doing a real play by play of the fight as it was going on. It was all just narratives about how great Floyd is, while completely ignoring the action in the ring where every second counts. You'd be lying if you said commentating doesn't influence the viewing public.

10-2 is a ****in joke. Everytime I've scored it it was still a 7-5 victory for Floyd but I think the dudes on here who act like Floyd put on a dominant masterclass are not being objective at all. If anything, this fight proved that Pacquiao had some seriously underrated boxing IQ/skills the way he was making Floyd miss and countering him. Aside from the jab, Floyd wasn't really that consistent with his straight right or left hook. His two big right hand counters in the first round did have a big impact to how the fight played out because you could see that it offset Pacquiao's gameplan and made him a bit more cautious. I still think it's an interesting fight to watch.

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.

We all don't see what you see, Manny is a great fighter do you even comprehend how hard it is to out box and control Manny, tell me who has actually out boxed Manny without taking plenty, nobody other than Floyd Mayweather .

Floyd fought with one mindset, too WIN and he did by using is skills.

Floyd cant beat Manny in a fire fight lol, do think Floyd the master boxer is going to be all macho because a bunch of fansboys call him a runner.

Nobody at WW at the time of their fight could have out boxed Manny like that on that night , only Floyd !

Floyd is a better fighter with more ability that's why he beat Manny.

Floyd barely landed a powershot on pac. He made it as boring as possible with little action as possible and succeeded. What masterclass are u talking about?

Manny had Floyd on the ropes and BACKED OFF.

The whole world saw that tap-out.

Never went back and rewatched it. Saw it live that night (with the rest of the world), and I will admit that I was f**king hammered during it, but my round by round score (give or take a round) fell in line mostly with everyone else's.

**** if I recall correctly I thought it was 3-3 after six, and then either 5-1 or 6-0 Floyd the rest of the way. So yeah 8-4 or 9-3. Something like that.

I will say this though: there were a lot of rounds that were very close rounds. A lot of swing rounds. Manny truly had a chance to steal several rounds in that fight that went Floyd's way, but Manny was sooooooooo hesitant of Floyd countering him to death that he didn't even barely f**king try. Thus all those nondescript, low activity rounds from both guys went to Floyd. And I'm not saying that those were purely 50/50 rounds -- I think Floyd did just enough to take those rounds I'm talking about. But Manny didn't even give himself a chance. I mean in several of those Floyd won rounds he was winning them by literally a few good jabs.

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

Yup. I remember watching it with a couple guys who were Pac fans and as soon as he landed the first one I told them the fight was over.

That's a good description of the fight for watching it drunk and only once. That's exactly what happened.

Tyson fans are the dumbest of them all.

I still feel floyd won the fight...but the argument that it was because pac didn't fight his fight or come out and throw a million punches is kinda dumb. Pac boxed with floyd and kept the rounds reasonably close and had some success. That says a lot about pac's boxing ability since he was supposed to be leagues behind floyd in that category. I think if someone watched that fight and didn't know anything about either guy...it would look closer than some care to admit.
