You make it sound like he was winning round after round when his shoulder was OK, then he hurt it and the tide turned against him. Nothing could be further from the truth. He was getting clowned and embarrassed from the opening bell on. Truth is Pac looked slow, he looked small (compared to Floyd), he looked inaccurate. He looked entire levels of skills below Floyd in terms of speed, ring generalship, ring IQ and accuracy -- not from Round 6 on. But right from the first bell on.
My girlfriend who knows absolutely nothing about Boxing and rarely watches it with me basically said the exact thing you just posted after 3 rounds of the fight. Hilarious how even she knows this and posters on here that spend hours a day on here and hours a week watching Boxing cant even realize what you just posted which is spot on. :good
its obvious as night and day. im not making excuses but if he did have a bad shoulder, he had no chance in hell to beat floyd. but it is obvious even without the injury this aint the same pac of 5 years ago.:deal
You're wasting your time arguing with that poster. That person is an unconditional supporter of Pacman, and he was making threads every hour leading up to the fight about everything and anything that involved Pacman. SO you're not going to get an objective, or educated post from that poster in specific. I agree with your post though. pacman lost this fight in the early rounds, when he lost the first 3 quite clearly. I don't think many people expected Floyd to run away with the first couple rounds, and than Pacman had to play catch up. People can complain about his shoulder all they want, but the shoulder isn't located anywhere near his legs. He was the slower man that night, his handspeed didn't look superior either, and he just looked like a clumsy amateur in there at times going after FLoyd. I don't want to see a rematch because Pacman and his team are liars, frauds, talked incessantly before the fight about how easy this match was going to be, than started complaining non-stop about his injury after the fight. For a guy that's supposed to be so graceful and classy, he really exhibited the complete antithesis of that after the fight was over. You lost, got dominated pretty much the entire fight. Take it on the chin like a true champ is supposed to.
- Media day work out his arms looked fine. - During the fight he did throw a lot of rights but hit air and not once did he wince or hesitate due to pain. - There is no MRI scan showing injury before the fight. He hurt his shoulder missing all those shots during the fight thus providing him with a convenient excuse.
Abuffy spitting some fire in this forum! :rofl:rofl:rofl What happened to that nice, little, emotional girl who was crying during the build-up to the fight?
The amount of bulsh!t people are prepared to take is just astounding. If this was seriously torn rotator cuff, he would not have been able to lift his f*cking arm. Not only that he did, he threw a few hundred punches with some menace for 12 rounds. So yeah, there might be some damage to his shoulder, but it was never serious enough to significantly hamper his performance. It is getting predictable beyond belief. They'll make a couple more excuses for his loss and build up a rematch with Floyd. Who will probably be glad to take it and earn another UD and 75% of the split. The most disappointing thing about Pac-May was not the dull fight itself, but the way they're prepared to screw the public again for the rematch with the exactly same result.
