All this talk about "six knockdowns" to make Lucky Pac look better than he was

120-102. coulda gone either way.

 

The ref was poor but he was also poor by giving Aligeri a long count and pulling Pac off him in the 9th. A really good ref mightnt have ruled the slips as knockdown but probably would have counted Aligeri out also. And Pac won 11 or 12 rounds (8th was kinda close) so even though he mightnt be the force of old he is still very very good.

 

Yeah, I mean why not stop the fight mid-round and give the fighter a chance to recover after a knockdown.

 

Only two at most can be considered slips

Remaining were all knockdowns. It was a very competitive and close fight with the final scorecard 120-102.

 

didnt kid chocolate knock down hassan n like 6 times or was it the other way around? either way, no praise for how great that guy was

 

Okay, take out the 2 ''slips'' that was considered knockdowns.
Still Pacquiao mnaged to knock him down 4 times and dominated Algieri who is a hard target because of his lateral movement.

 

You drive a really hard bargain kid. Manny looked great. Not amazing.....like he did in his prime against top tier guys but he looked damn good for 36.

Compare how he looked to Floyd in his last fight with Miadana and you see that both of these legends are clearly losing a half step....but guess what.....they are still winning and dominating.

To call what PAC did as "LUCK".....is only exposing your angle and biased view. That wasn't luck.....it was a combination of skills....being at a higher level and proving it....and just plain determination.

"Luck" is something like getting hammered from pillar to post and being bloodied, broken and bruised, THEN scoring a one punch KO at the very last second.

 

calm down, im agreeing with you. i had it dead even 30 seconds into the 1st rd.

 

You got a point there! If you take away the 5 knock downs the score would have been a nail biting 120-107. Then maybe you can make a case that Algerie was robbed & deserves a rematch!:bbb

 

You don't have a leg to stand on......Algeri didn't change his strategy one bit from the sound of the first bell....to the last. He was on his bike, running....surviving and taking punishment in the process.

The 2 KD's that were slips aren't a factor based on the other 4 that were legit.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

Cerebral labatomy actually gave a serious response which makes this comment all the more funny

 

he dominated a 10-1 favorite :happy

"lateral movement" or not :-(
