Did mayweathers bad shoulder have a effect on his first fight with castillo?

Floyd won a few more rounds in the rematch. I don't think a few more rounds would have mattered here and plus Manny's money punch was his left hand which wasn't landed much so I don't he would have landed much more with the right. Floyd was going to outbox him. Not sure how 2 judges scored rounds 9 and 10 for Manny anyway.

 

Floyd won both fights despite him throwing low in the first bout

On the other hand, Manny got dominated.

:deal

 

Probably a combination of the two? I see where you're going with this.

If Pac's injury is true, I don't think anyone would deny that he would perform better against Floyd at 100%. Would that be enough? Idk. That's why they'd need to have a rematch. Or maybe he'd perform worse since Floyd now has experience with him. Then again, Pacquiao wasn't Pacquiao that night. He didn't use his style that he's famous for. Was it Floyd who neutralized it, I'd say yes. However, if it WAS the injury that inhibited Pacquiao from being able to be himself, then the rematch could be really interesting.

I think a rematch would just produce a better fight over all. Both fighters are no longer under that enormous pressure. They now don't have to rush training. It's just more comfortable overall. Plus, they have experience with each other. These things alone should produce a much, much better fight.

No excuses, May won for sure. And Pacquiao deserved the loss going in there with an injury and thinking he could win off just a left hand. I swear sometimes I just don't understand how people can underestimate Floyd that much or just be that stupid.

 

mummy look they didn't give my 1st thread enough attention :|

 

Well, playing devil's advocate here... the power jab sets up Manny's left hand a lot and I didn't see him use it much. Reason? We could make a lot. I'm just saying.

Plus, Manny caught Floyd with more left hands than people think. Specifically the one in the 4th round and the other in the 6th which both wobbled Floyd in the way Maidana wobbled him at the end of rd 3 in their fight.

 

Manny did say that he wasn't as aggressive because of the pain. He said with media yesterday that after the pain hit (4th rd), he was left as a one-handed fighter. Because of that, Pacquiao said he was forced to just try and land a one punch KO with his left. If that truly was Pac's gameplan to why his punch output was low, it could make sense. The compubox does show that his punches per round dropped by like 10 after the 4th round which is uncharacteristic since he'll usually increase it past the sixth.

Idk man I still need to see an MRI.
