Mayweather says he'll give Pacquiao another shot
Mayweather says he'll give Pacquiao another shot
that fight was terrible, the ref protected Mayweather because he knows if a fighter gets close to him, thats when he is vulnerable, Manny threw and landed way more punches then the judges even counted.
Horrible corruption in the sport of boxing, cant believe I even watched this.

You must not be familiar with Compubox. Manny landed only 81 punches against Mayweather and with a connect rate of 19%. Mayweather completely stifled Pacquiao.
The people that were surprised by the outcome or the style of the fight have obviously never watched Floyd fight. This is what he does. He is a despicable human being, but one of the best defensive fighters ever. There is 0% chance that present day Manny can beat him. Now the 6 year ago HGH'd up out of his mind Manny, that would have been a great opposing style fight, but not anymore.
I heard a great assessment of this fight. Floyd outside the ring is flashy and not afraid to be aggressive (with women). He will punch and be very aggressive outside the ring (with women). Inside the ring, he is total defensive and content to win by countering with tons of slap punches and hugs. All of his babies mama's would be ecstatic to get that many hugs.
If there is ever a rematch or a fight with another real puncher like Manny, I would love it if prior to the fight they call out Floyd on his ring tactics. Challenge his manhood and point out his history of domestic violence against women. Perhaps question why Floyd's personal referee refuses to warn a fighter for continually hugging, much less penalize him for it. If that ever happened while he was still good, the fight would mysteriously be postponed due to injury or something. Floyd is a fraud in my book. Great boxer who can't fight.

An you must not be familiar with compubox because humans input the stats into a computer for each fighter. It doesnt matter, Manny threw more punches then compubox said and landed more as well/. This fight was a joke, boxing is a joke.
Proof? It all must be one big conspiracy theory?? Your delusions are joke!! There is no point in discussing this any further.
GBR!!
For the most part, boxing is dead. I don't understand why so many people watch Floyd Mayweather fake fight.
There are some people that get in the middle of the ring and slug it out and aren't afraid to fight. If you want to watch boxing, watch them. I watched Canelo v Kirkland fight the other night...only lasted 2 rounds, but it was a slugfest. UFC is way better than boxing.

UFC is an abortion of a sport. I've long advocated for it's disbanded. Talk about a waste of space. Boxing has rules. It just needs refs willing to stop the clenching and hugging. Make them fight. UFC = two dudes in a butt clench for extended periods. Boxing is self-defense + touch of civility. Seeing who can out duel it's opponent is such a treat. Boxing is a great sport. Boxing organization is not.
You can't be more wrong Box. Have you watched UFC since Tank Abbott was fighting? The boring fights are the ones involving really great clinching. That is what made the Mayweather fight horrible. George St. Pierre was a great champ who like Mayweather got very good at winning by controlling and clinching. Earlier in his career, he was a much more exciting fighter. If you don't understand what is going on in really advanced jiu-jitsu, don't simply say it is boring. A great submission ending is every bit as exciting as a great knockout.
This is my favorite submission ending I have ever seen. It is actually a wrestling hold that works very well as a submission.
