    Were you impressed by Inoue? What do you think went wrong for Fulton? Fulton indicated after the fight that maybe he didn't perform at the level he had hoped. He did look a little uncomfortable in there early on. Do you think the nerves of fighting in Japan got to him?

    Japan's crowds are not intimidating. They didn't reign boos down on him when he entered the ring. They cheered him, in fact. And they cheered him when he lost.

    Not the crowd per se, but just being in a foreign land, being in a fight of this magnitude, going up against a KO monster. Yes the fans were very gracious but did the nerves get to him, did Fulton not perform at his best due to the magnitude of the event.

    The Japanese are very polite and cordial people. That is their nature. If Fulton had nerves that's his problem. He did delay coming out.

    You know, nerves getting to you doesn't have to be because of crowd noise. Sometimes uncomfortable quiet can be more nerving than noise. Like when you're giving a speech and everyone goes quiet, that can be more nervy than noise because everyone is quiet and focused on you.

    Yes, he's a great fighter.

    I think Fulton did everything he could, speed just kills and he couldn't handle it in any way shape and form.

    I don't think Fulton even won 1 round when I scored it.

    He's just not as talented, got outboxed and hurt with every punch it seemed.

    No, I don't think the atmosphere did much at all. Fulton would have lost in any stadium on this planet. Inoue is just better than he is. It is what it is.

    I'm a Floyd fan, but when did he beat the snot out of Manny?

    He used superior movement, his jab and reach and boxed him to a decision

    Although I scored it 9-3, he definitely didn't beat Manny up (lot of close rounds that Floyd edged) It was his safest performance ever and that's fair enough because of what's on the line

    Floyd wone the fight with movement and a little extra size and reach. There weren't too many clean punches landed by either guy, as Mannys defence was also on point

    Floyd NEVER legitimately beat Pac he couldn't. Floyd got caught blatantly cheating 24 hours before the fight receiving an Illegal, Excessive, 750ml of Saline in his own home breaking 3 of the NSAC's own rules regarding saline use for supposed dehydration. Why didn't he just apply for a TUE as the rules stated.
    But being Floyd he didn't need to the NSAC tried to vainly cover his butt for him by saying " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating " ROFL.
    At the same time Pacquaio was refused his previously agreed upon Toradol shot, A legal pain reliever, for his torn rotator cuff at the last minute because they claimed his team didn't tick the right box on some form.
    Pac wasn't given a fair chance to win although he nearly did even against all odds
    The fact MVC applauds the ludicrous 118-110 judges card in this fights shows all he does is troll repeatedly

    Remember FloydSr was yelling at Floyd " Why are you so scared why are you fighting scared. You know youre losing this fight don't you " Floyd knew he couldn't lose unless he got Ko'd. That would be impossible Floyd couldn't punch a hole in a wet paper sack LOL

    I don't understand why you guys continue to reply to the guy. He is obviously just trying to get a rise out of everyone.
