Just Watched Mayweather-Pacquiao Again

[rickJen]

Fight was similar to Kov vs Andre situation. Kov and Pac had to win by KO. The opponents only had to last the distance.

You my friend have so much wisdom.

Cheers!

Note to all posters - If your post gets a consign from Spoon - you need to reevaluate life and retrain your thought process.

Once Floyd had Pac thinking it was over. Pac was fighting a step behind all the way. It became a typical Floyd fight, I expected Pac to push Floyd to the limit.

I can't stand these ****** Pacfarts. They're annoying like Roidbumkin fans.

Watch the Mosley-Pac fight. It's basically the same fight except Floyd was in charge. Pac comes in a straight line every time and the fight gets boring. He would never adjust or anything.

And the Warriors are the cheapest team in NBA history.

Cheapest because?

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

8-4 was absolute best case scenario for Pac, he only won two rounds clearly and two others were pretty close. 7-5 might only be one round difference but no way could anybody unbiased give him 5 rounds.

I had it 10-2 when I watched it live, I've watched it again once since and still gave it the same score though appreciate 9-3 or 8-4 could also be acceptable. Anything else is just blindness, the fight wasn't remotely close.

This AGAIN? DAMN LET IT GO!

[rickJen]

Pretty much along fanatical lines.
They never get tired of this ****.
As if they'll post something we haven't seen before.
Too much insecurities.

Now, OP, it is time for me to translate your post into what certain others take away from it.

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.

"All Floyd did was RUN!"

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.

Cue Skip Bayless:
"The little rat-a-tat punches, it's NOT ENOUGH!! IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO WIN THE FIGHT!!"

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.

Cue Skip Bayless:

"All that I saw, that Floyd Mayweather did, was he mostly RAN, and he DANCED, and he ROPE-A-DOPED! After he blasted the great Muhammad Ali!"

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.

"Floyd paid off the judges."
