    This is not about who you think will win or even whether you think it will end in a KO.Even if it ends in a KO there could still be bad scores.

    Do you think all 3 judges will fairly judge the fight?

    The judges get far too much criticism, if its not the exact same as card as everyone on here its corruption or something even though nobody nearly agress anyways.

    There normally pretty good in general.

    I think most people will agree with the decision. It's a subjective scoring criteria, so not everyone is going to agree. I hope it doesn't go to the scorecards. All out action, ending with a KO. That's the ideal situation.

    Yeah, in most fights most cards are within a reasonable range so if you're betting you should bet upon that.

    I agree scores are often just. I allow for a 1 round, maybe 2 if a close fight. Anything worse to me is fairly unacceptable. Given the magnitude of this fight, Nothing is out of the question.

    I understand that but sometimes you can have about 5 identical enough rounds where some man is landing the harder shots and the other the more volume and if one judge prefers one method more you can have a massive swing in a close fight.

    I only mention this because it happened in the Canelo fight. No one on the planet had it a draw. That was a ridiculous scorecard and that fight was huge. I would also point to ODH and Trinny (not tranny...although it works here.)

    i expect the 3 judges to be biased towards floyd. FLoyd will win a close decision with maybe one of the judges calling it a draw to set up a rematch. Or 2 cards for floyd and 1 for manny

    Hard to tell a robbery is not out of the question, for whom is up to you to decide.
    I think Mayweather win's by stoppage in the 10th with scores of 95-95, 96-94x2

    Hardly ever happens in big fights nowadays, there's mostly at least one odd one out. That said, I don't believe there will be a robbery of any kind.

    Not a chance. Judges usually get scores right for fights that don't matter. But when stars enter the ring, every judge goes into the fight with preconceived notions about what they think they are seeing and they award early or close rounds accordingly. If they are a Mayweather fan they will think more punches are missing than they really are and if they are a Pacquiao fan they'll think that more punches are hitting than they are. If they are a Mayweather fan they will award him rounds where he runs and call it ring generalship. If they are a Pacquiao fan they might award him a round for ineffectively punching air just because he keeps coming forward. The only fair score in this sport is a knockout. Expect some bull****.
