    Tiger Woods, LeBron, Brady thats all they talk about. Went shopping and watched the game thats all everybody does they are so disconnected on what is real and what is not. People dont want to talk about inflation or real issues they want to talk about Facebook and Taylor Swift and Juiceshua. Listen to people talk. Its only sports, video games, shopping, music that stuff doesnt matter. I am not saying people shouldnt have entertainment but that stuff doesnt matter just to let you know. People lives are consumed with all of this. Just take a long look at The World Cup.

    The cabal knows what they are doing.

    I didn't think it landed either. The replay angles were fairly bad. Not sure it was rigged, but Matthysse has clearly been done for a while. He looked awful against that kick boxer the fight before, and that guy was a scrub. I'd say Matthysse just showed up for the pay day. He definitely packed it in.

    Well it did look suspect until I rewatched the fight.
    Here is a link to an HD video:

    Pacquiao was just too sharp.
    He was sitting on his punches more too (they did say in camp that they wanted to put more umph in his punches by doing weights, etc. since Matthysse is pretty much the same size as Pac and that they know Pac has the speed advantage already).
    Look at Pac's shoulders. It's like JMM on PEDs.
    LMM was fighting back and he did land some good shots, but Pac was just too much for him to handle.
    He was outpunching, outworking and outcountering him all night.
    I mean c'mon, every time you throw a jab you eat an overhand right counter or a left lead counter.

    Bottom line is Lucas is just not in there mentally.
    He wanted out. We all know he has a glass mind. So there.

    you guys gotta remember lucas is kinda old and washed up i hate to say it. lucas isnt a pacman not even close. even at this stage of his career. pac is way past prime but hes so good then he can linger around and still be in the mix.

    lucas is a damn good fighter but pacman on a differ level. pacman never really got schooled like lucas did vs garcia and postol. and dont forget ruslan even though provo lost. those fights took something out of him.

    so has pac goes both ways pac is just that much better thats how great he really is. hes been around for a long time.

    Yeah, I saw the fight in sh&&y quality but the 2nd knockdown was a disgrace and the 3rd kd didn't even look like any punch landed cleanly, from what I saw Matthysse looked like he blocked 90% of it.

    Ellerbe, were you wearing your tin foil hat while you were watching? It keeps those radio waves from the CIA out of your brain.

    Well I don't know. I like to think boxing is better than politics and things like that. Rigged? I don't buy that stuff too much. The systems are meant to work how they are made, I think the calls about rigging are louder than the actual rigging. Things have to be proven, you cannot just say well this is rigged whether this team won or that boxer won or this politician won. You need prove of rigging. I remember when I would work with my friend at some fights and the attitude of promoters and how they would try and get soft touches against an up and coming guy. They wanted the soft touch to fall and usually he did, and that is how it worked. It is brutal. I think the boxers are the nice guys in boxing, but the promoters and those making money can be shady. But I still think at the high level rigging is not too common. And at the low level, the difference between two fighters skill level makes it obvious who will win, if you overmatch someone.

    Proof is a good thing because it demonstrates reality after the talk. And proof is very rare.

    for some reason, in the world today, reality is created in each individual mind, independently of actual events. its a very strange phenomena, only because it has become largely accepted as normal behaviour.

    Well it as in Malaysia. Who did the drug testing? Manny wasn't KOing people when he was being tested.

    I agree. We have so much information coming in all the time whether it is that site twitter or whichever social media areas. It is an odd time and things will get odder as things go by. The net creates people who seem to have the answer to everything and will take an idea and try to talk about it so much that it becomes reality. And that is odd. Before if something was not factual it was not given much news or talk.
