    Because my house erupted in a ruckus when Floyd got rocked! I swear they were gonna call the riot squad on us, but then the round ended, Floyd recovered, and we sat there waiting for Shane's next big shot..... and it never came... so disappointed... I thought we in for a huge upset... but you gotta give credit to PBF for a masterclass performance.

    I think every fight I have ever watched Floyd in and will ever watch Floyd in, I have and will always root against him. Not because I don't like the guy; I know all that macho ****-talk is just for the cameras anyway. But because it's just fun to root against him. He plays the 'bad guy' role to perfection. And you just wanna see him get knocked out so bad but time and time again, he leaves you disappointed. At the end of the day though, you gotta respect greatness.

    "You're gonna wake the baby!"

    Yeah, I feel you. People take the promotion aspect too seriously, but it's fun to go for the ride and root against him. Some of these fans act like they write letters to the editor of their hometown papers when they see a professional wrestler hit his opponent with a folding chair when the ref's not looking. I'm not sure they understand it's all kind of a put-on.

    One of the best and funniest posts of the night... I appreciate your honesty. Why can't others see that "persona" is business? Ali sold out arenas in a different era because he was exactly what "Night Fury" has become, the guy everybody will pay to see lose. It's really smart business.

    I was at the theater and the whole place was rocking when Mosley landed that shot. After that, it was as how you described, everybody was just waiting for the next big shot, but it never came and everybody was bummed when it was over.

    Floyd got me hook line and sinker this time. I was praying for him to get knocked out!
    But, as the fight progressed I found myself admiring his work. The guy may have an obnoxious, arrogant, materialistic attitude. But, he can back up his words. He won't fool me again! I don't see anyone beating him.

    My heart skipped a beat when I saw that.

    I was like "whoa, did that really happen?"

    I thought he dropped the 2nd time i dont know how he stood up. I was like now we got a fight. But we know what happened after that.

    Floyd hardly used any foot movement in this fight. He just stood in shanes face for the whole fight. I think If mayweather would have continued to get hit clean he would have begun boxing on the back foot, pot shotting.

    When Floyd got rocked I was like OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ****! at the top of my lungs.. almost got slapped..lol I was thinking he would be smart and take a knee or get on his bike and run like the wind.. but he ****ing stood there still... I was like OHHHHHHHHHH **** Floyd about to lose that 0. Then I seen him clinch and when he tried to use his legs they were still shaky. But he started to come around and fire back .. I was like NOOOOOOOOO dont trade you ass. Then he finished the round with no knockdown and then from then on.... I was straight.

    It was not looping. It was a perfectly timed overhand right. Straight on Floyds jaw. Fast.. nothing wide about that punch.

    Yeah my house shook too. Bunch of people who know that Floyd is the master and was gonna win, but given a big wad of hope to see our man Mosley take it with that overhand right. After that wobble though, there was just a bunch of guys here cursing Mosley for not capitalizing...

    Kudos to Mayweather for thinking quick and hanging on to Mosley's arm. Kudos to Mayweather for being tough enough to stick with it and come back with in the rounds end... shame that Mosley gased out from one big offensive output.

    Bring on Pac. Stat!

    In the 2nd round, I swear I literally had flashbacks to Tarver-Jones. I was like, "uh-oh!" I was shocked, and thought Mayweather just might get knocked out.

    But...

    I agree, and yes..everyone at my place was going nuts. I was jumping up and down screaming ...then nothing happened.

    Disappointing.

    Shane said it best "he made the adjustment and I didn't. I fought his fight".

    I don't hate Mayweather for his personality, but for his cherrypicking nature, and then he has the nerve to say he's the best ever etc.
    He's an insult to the sport.
