Mayweather won that fight. Let me start out with that line. He was so crafty that he made it appear, live and in real time, that he was winning exhanges and controlling the distance. This is not about contending that night's decision. I agree with it. I was embarassed as a Pac fan after Pac uttered those now iconic words "I thought I won the fight". But videos like this one really gives us a better understanding of why Pac REALLY thought that he did win that fight. He was connecting hard blows, short and compact, while Mayweather was merely pushing, tapping, slapping or delivering grazing blows. And more importantly, he was countering the **** out of Mayweather. He was outpositioning him, and I believe nobody has mentioned this yet, pushing and trapping Mayweather to the ropes over and again. Had Mayweather been just a tad slower on his feet, he would've been tagged by harder blows than the ones this video would show. Lastly, compubox is ****. [yt]2TqT3lNvgIc[/yt]
Boxing is scored on Ring Generalship. Defense. Effective Aggressiveness. Clean Punching. Ring Generalship=Floyd. Defense=Floyd. Clean Punching=Floyd Effective Aggressiveness=Floyd. WTF did Pacquiao do to make this fight even competitive? SMH. 4-2 Pac after 6 rounds is a joke.. You should be banned for showing that bs
So boxing is scored based off who lands the most punches in a round now.. Please get this noob off the boards lol
A). He was "pushing" Mayweather...as in using BOTH arms to push someone...??? Using an injured arm to push...hmmmm...!!! B). So Mayweather should have fought at a slower pace just to appease Pacquiao and his fans...??? atsch
I turned it off after the dude kept referring to Pacquiao's "a**-whooping" over Floyd at the start of the video. The editing and music at the beginning was good, so I expected a serious/legitimate breakdown; unfortunately, it got ridiculous pretty fast.
True. Not gonna make an excuse. I was gonna post another one but the commentary was so biased against FMJ, this was actually the better one. Still gives an excellent view as to why Pac genuinely believes he won. He was connecting hard. He was hardly feeling Mayweather's punches, he knows he was blocking, parrying and dodging many of them. EDIT: I was particularly surprised at how many of Pac's jabs connected. Some of them hard. Never saw that one live, with the exception of a really few ones. Not to mention Pac's superb counters. And his inside uppercuts. Some had an impact on Mayweather. I have to admit I thought Pac was hitting air when I watched it live.
Floyd schooled Pac on many levels too. Pac had zero answers to the clinch for instance. Nor did he has any answer to the looping right hand. Round 11 was a great example of how Floyd would turn it up after figuring out his opponent. Pac can't do anything to Floyd's aggression.
It was biased, GREATLY biased. Shouldn't diminish the content nonetheless. Mayweather was not hitting Pac where it counts, while Pac's short, solid and compact blows was clearly making a statement on the former. Also his use of the sound of the connecting punch is impressive. People who actually box can distinguish the sound of a punch connecting to the body or head, and a punch getting blocked by the gloves.
