    Those first two fights are really subjective. I gave them both to Pac, close but for my scoring criteria clear, especially that second fight. The third one was surprisingly clear for JMM.

    It is quite clear that there is something in the style match up that makes people unable to score the Pac-JMM fights the same, whereas you would have to be a turd to score Canelo-Mayweather to Canelo.

    sloppy aggression that takes risks and tries to create opportunities vs controlled counterpunching that doesn't follow up on opportunities is the story of the first two fights, with the knockdowns creating a wider margin.

    Figuring Pac out has a steep learning curve, or he wouldn't have come close to taking out a master boxer like JMM in one round. But once you do figure him out ... he can be timed. Anything could happen anytime these two fight because JMM knows him inside and out but Pac is the superior athlete, though in this case "dumber".
