    I'm absolutely baffled as to how anyone can have the fight close? It was a clear win for Floyd, and it wasn't hard to score at all.

    I was very much up for Manny. I spent weeks building his chances up to friends on Facebook etc, and I was convinced he had a good chance. But anyone who thinks last night's fight was close needs their head checked.

    Manny boxed terribly, got his tactics all wrong and threw fewer punches in the fight than Floyd. Imagine that, Manny Pacquaio threw less punches than Floyd. It's hard to believe, but it's fact.

    Floyd boxed brilliantly and tagged Manny all night. People need to stop making out that this fight was close, it wasn't at all. And more importantly, Manny needs to be held responsible for what was an awful performance. Injury or no injury, he made big promises and threw less punches than Floyd. I for one have lost a lot of respect for Manny. His hunger is gone!

    Anyone that calls themselves a true boxing fan and listens to what a fighter says he's gonna do during prefight prep is a frickin' idiot. The evidence is as clear as day in just watching a boxers past fights and knowing what he brings to the table.

    Fight Party was too loud for me to hear any of the commentators but I do recall Jim Lampley getting loud and excited when Pac was throwing those flurries at Floyd on the rope. He sounded like he was about to bust a n_t!! Did any one notice any bias or unfair commentary during the fight?

    Believe it or not....Manny is easier to hit. Chino keeps his head low, chin tucked and is constantly throwing wild punches. Floyd had to target Maidana's body more so than head and weight matters.

    :deal
    And Lederman giving Manny round 2 was a complete joke. Expected better from HBO. Roy was good, but Bernstein was a 100 times better than Lampley.

    There is one reason and one reason only the VAST majority of people buy a Floyd fight, so they can spill their beer in exaltation as fighter X knocks him the **** out. Get it?
