    Wouldn't that be a 10-10 round?
    Did Pac score an extra point, or did he automatically win the round because of the KD?

    It could also have been scored 10-10, but my thinking was that Thurman was winning the first round clear but not decisively so I decided the fairest thing to do was to let the flash knockdown cause a 2 point swing instead of a 3 point swing as most observers and even official judges let occur on their scorecards.
    Had Thurman been dominating that first round, I'd have scored it 10-10 because of the flash knockdown.

    How would you score it?

    Thurmans balance was awful and I don’t know if he has got James de gale syndrome or pac was just too good

    Pbf was always faster than pac people who believe that pac is faster dont know **** about boxing. Pbf can throw a single shot faster than pac can pac can throw in combination faster. In a fight being able to throw single shots faster is more useful, combination punching looks impressive to casuals. Pbf doesnt get hit by combinations so pac being able to throw them faster is irrelevant against him. Pbf's ability to throw 1 shot with speed and accuracy is more relevant in a fight as this fight showed. Pac himself realized this early on and fought accordingly. Pbf also had the faster feet as he was able to move away from pac when he needed to on order to set up his offense or for defensive purposes forcing pac to reset. I suggest you rewatching the fight. Pbf was clearly the faster fighter in the ring of both hand and foot.

    Pbf's gameplan in this fight was to control the range and dictate distance he employed this style and was the ring general fighting his fight and has perfected the art of winning rounds. Pac was easily neutralized because he's one dimensional he has no plan b. What pbf was doing was working perfectly he was limiting pac's offense, while outlanding and outworking pac so why stop??? To please haters like you? Who won't give him any credit anyway and be full of excuses after? Pbf is too smart for people like you he will fight his fight at all costs. He will not be lured into a brawl like srl was in his 1st fight with duran was, fighting another mans fight and losing. He's too smart and too good for that, he won't give his haters the satisfaction and that's what drives his haters crazy. He had a gameplan that night and he exccuted it perfectly despite being 38 faded and past his best. A great win better than any win pac has ever had.

    Too bad Floyd was busted in his living room with a needle in his arm and an IV drip.

    BTW, who keeps IV fluids and drip feeds in their house?

    Cheating scumbags who hold their children hostage as they beat the **** out of women.

    :deal:

    Why are you ducking the question?

    Please explain why Floyd had IV fluids and all of the necessary equipment at the ready in his home?

    Ive already answred this question multiple times jackass. You just chose to ignore it. What you can't ignore is pac's 7 loses and his schooling in the fight of the era by pbf.
    Why are you so full of excuses?
    Why are you so bitter?
    Why can't you get over pac's losses?

    He was saying Pac would go night-night in the 4th ( with a lisp). But realize quick that Pac has a good chin and fire power.

    Seen his eyes lit up when Pac gave him the biz.

    deep deep down in your heart you know mayweather is all wrong for pac and would have never beaten floyd.

    just be honest with yourself and set yourself free

    Floyd used illegal IV fluids — a known method for cycling and masking PEDs.
