    This person knows how to score a fight. I gave Floyd the 7 though but it was a close round. They landed around the same but floyd had a better percentage.

    Goes back to the point of Pacquiao had to KO Floyd to win. And he did try. He did state that past the 4th round, he focused on trying to score a "one-punch KO".

    I think he should've overwhelmed him when trying to score a KO, but maybe he couldn't due to his shoulder which is why he just tried to score it with his left hand only.

    When was the last time he didn't? where has his biggest selling fights been?

    As I said even the hotels buy him 2m cars to keep him happy, that alone says something.

    Round 3,9 and 12 were clear Pac rounds from that card, you can argue more of the later rounds but as they were close I can't be bothered.

    I dont think that. Numbers prove that. You may choose to believe whatever you want. Im not trying to convince you.

    I was hoping pac would have brought the best out in Floyd but he didn't. Who knew pac would be gun shy of Floyd, I was pleased with Floyd but hoped pac would make him fight

    What numbers?? A person on boxing news 24's numbers LMAO Because all the numbers I've seen officially show a dismal performance from Pacquiao.

    Yeah I guess hotels that splash 2 m for a car have no pull or sway in things, I guess the Vegas economy is more dependant on a guy that doesn't fight there than a guy who keeps fighting there and spending obscene amounts while bringing some of the welathiest celebs along with him.:nut:patsch

    This forum too is a place anyone can write so you saying anything written there is laughable makes anything you say even more laughable since its their leading commentators reaching the verdict that Pac won whereas you claim otherwise while being a random poster.

    A lot of those jabs Mayweather was throwing were just fending off jabs. There was no bite in them. Pacquiao was also blocking loads with his gloves.

    So basically you're admitting you need to be told how to score, why and by whom rather than form your own conclusions.

    Floyd looked lost and ineffective, he fought terrified as Floyd Snr pointed out, his corner was worried and replays show he was largely anonymous. Pac wasn't his hurricane self but showed mastery in evading what Floyd did offer, he did get caught flat footed in 2 of the 12 rounds, and we now know he had a serious injury.

    Conclusion, effective aggression, controlling the fight and evasive skill to me are more important than pot shot running.

    Numbers provided by people who has no benefit from this fight whatsoever, here:

    Saying "official judges think Floyd won" has no meaning to me as a boxing fan. This is just another corrupt business decision, it wasnt the first, it wont be the last.
