    You only deserve a rematch when the fight is close. This wasn't close at all. I was hoping Manny would fight like his life depended on it, but at this point both of them look sick of the game and can't wait to retire.

    Exactly. This was two fighters on different levels of physical size and boxing ability. Rematch would be a joke.

    Can't win a boxing match that easily by running all night. Much of that fight was fought at center ring. Manny had over 100 hundred opportunities to counter Floyd's jab and right hand. And he countered it about 3 times. He couldn't see Floyd's check left, which popped him upside the head several times either. Manny couldn't cut the ring off. He didn't use the jab. He couldn't avoid the clinch. And he couldn't put Floyd away when he had him hurt. You had to be generous to give Manny more than 2 rounds. And I was, I gave him 3. Maybe Manny should've "ran" more. Lol.

    I was surprised Pac kept letting Floyd hit him in those clinches.

    I think he said "Why haven't you called? you have my number."

    I don't blame Roach completely. In the corner, he was telling Manny the correct things to do, "Manny feint him! Manny use your footwork! Manny use your angles!" It's just Manny couldn't do it, couldn't execute it.

    One thing I didn't like was how Roach wanted Manny to trade single shots with Floyd. Floyd counters single shots, even Pacquiao's. Floyd covered up when Manny threw 4+ combos, but Manny would land and then step back(!?). He let his foot off the pedal when I thought he'd go full blown on.

    Probably said Manny wasn't **** and he was going to lose. I thought Floyd had him figured out quickly. Just a matter of time at that point.

    This wasn't even close. Onesided snoozer, like expected.

    I think it was a very easy fight for Floyd. I honestly expected it to be that way. But I was also praying for a miracle and hoping Manny would at least drop him once.

    I know. Manny didn't even fight the clinches, especially the headlock ones which bothered the s*** out of me. Floyd twisted his arm in one though and Manny was saying some MEAAAAANNN stuff in Floyd's ear then. It was great lol

    It's funny how Manny was a world beater and now his "fans" are saying that he's shot. His punches in bunches and weird angles were going to overwhelm Mayweather 24 hours ago, but now Floyd was "running" and yet, Floyd landed more power punches than Pacquiao's total punches. Floyd showed what I have been saying all along which is that Manny's footwork is garbage and that Floyd would exploit that.

    A friend of mine said, "It's not called running its called footwork. If Manny had footwork he'd be able to cut the ring off and force action. Instead he let himself get picked apart with clean effective shots. Respect Mayweather's skill level because he made Pacquaio look very ordinary for someone thats supposed to be the #2 fighter in the world."
