The official Mayweather vs. Pacquiao aftermath trash receptacle

hi cj ross. glad you got back your job.:rofl


50pct pac vs. 200pct floyd.

7th div vs. 4th div.

pac just 8-4ed the bigger, stronger, faster juiced up guy and had him running liek a ***** and had him running for dear life.

after the win against all odds, i now have pac cracking the top 10 atg.


floyd needs vada now if he is to be taken seriously. he is borderline atg now after a horrible performance with the deck all stacked for him.

 

Floyd avoid being in the pocket except for the 2 rounds that Manny landed and hit him with hard shots. Floyd knows that to avoid being in the pocket, he either had to run and then back off to his left or hug...and that is just what he did. He took away Manny's ability to unload on him in the pocket by not being in the pocket.

 

true or false?

 

yeah didn't see much from mayweather it was definitely a clear pacquiao victory.

 

that is the problem. anyone else runs that much and is that negative the judges wont be interested and they will get booed out of the ring, but when floyd does it, it's masterful. give me a break.

 

13? where did you get that. obviously lying. this video says otherwise.

If nothing else comes out of this, I hope a discussion on just this point will ensue. After all, we can all agree that this "super fight" left the fans wanting.

For the life of me, I'm appalled hearing some fans call this a masterclass performance by Floyd. On what freaking planet? The fact is Floyd won by virtue of landing a few more jabs and, maybe, grazing right hands, in a few more rounds. Besides that, however, Floyd clearly flouted the rules throughout: 1) by repeatedly holding and 2) ducking his head below the waist. I'll break down each point further below.

First, holding is simply against the rules. Referees, however, consistently let it go. Now, with Floyd's reflexes this gives him a huge advantage. Why? He just needs to focus on each exchange, making sure he lands the first punch, and then he can tie the opponent up. The fighters are then reset and he can rinse and repeat.

Floyd should have been warned the first time he held. The second time he should have had a point taken away. There should be a zero tolerance policy here. Where small variables can make a big difference in outcomes, this just simply should not be allowed.

Second, ducking your head below the waist is also against the rules. Yet, again, when Floyd was trapped in the corner or on the ropes, he ducked his head below Manny’s waist and then spun out to safety. And as far as I’m concerned, fighters should know the rules; if he’s already been warned for violating any of them (say, for holding), then violating any other rule (for ducking below the waist) should result in the loss of a point.

As for Floyd's running, well, that's legal, so he can run all he wants. It's not personally what I like in fighter, but it's not technically against the rules.

Now I've heard some call for a change in rules. But there really is no need; just enforce the rules that are already there! If you had done this, you would have had a very different fight last night. I think it certainly would have been more exciting.

I don't think boxing should ignore the outpouring of boos for Floyd’s “performance” after the fight. People clearly aren't happy with this product. This is an opportunity to make the sport better and more fan friendly and the powers that be should take it. Again, we're not changing anything; we're just making sure we enforce the rules that have always been in place.

 

Didn't knew this was old

 

Exactly, I was live scoring the fight and was very confident in my card (it turned out to be the same as 2 of the 3 judges). Going into the 11th, he needed to win the 11th and 12th rounds to get a draw. In the 11th he did nothing and was battered around by Floyd, and in the 12th he made zero effort despite Floyd just running, and was clearly already defeated before that round. His performance when he knew he had to win rounds to stay in the fight, was nothing short of pathetic.

 

That's right kids let it out. You should feel better in a year or 10.

48-0 Deal With It

 

:happy best post i've seen here after the fight.

 

???

 

Oh this isn't meant to be serious, I was just playing around lol

Most interesting thing for me was how evasive Pacquiao was. Both Floyd and Pac's landing % dropped 16% and to the lowest it has ever been. Huge credit to both of their defenses. For Pacquiao, not enough offense. At all! For Mayweather, he did great.

 

Are you ruining this forum with your countless and pointless threads????

No Pacquiao did. Mayweather did Mayweather and it was because of Pacquiao NOT being Pacquiao that it was ruined. He was capable of being more of himself, and he didn't. He put on an extremely poor performance, outside of just Floyd outboxing him.

The blame isn't solely on Floyd, more so on Pac. If Pac would've been Pac, this fight could've been great.
