    Agreed. In the foot and hand speed department. I didn't think there'd be that much of a difference.

    Smiling like Ortiz.....Maybe Floyd needed to hug him and then BOOOM:smooch:admin

    The only shocker was the limited effort from PAC :deal
    I did not expect him to win but I did expect him to take some risk:-(

    I was shocked to see people thought this was going to be a toe-to-toe war. Seriously?

    That's pretty much what I'm saying. Dude is a sore loser and now bordering on delusion with all this other nonsense about Floyd pulling his arm.

    1. How one-dimensional Manny looked (and disappointed since Roach hyped it up. Coulda been the shoulder too tbh)
    2. Running, running running
    3. Manny's lack of aggression
    4. To lopsided scores, I really believe it was much closer than what it was

    1. Floyd starting out strong right from the start instead of his usual slow starts.
    2. Manny's lack of aggression, and refusing to go for broke.
    3. Excuses from team pacquiao. (I expected it from his fans and FM haters but from the man himself. I didnt expect that from MP)

    I was shocked they didn't address the elephant in the room- Kell Brook.

    Biggest takeaways from me.
    1. Just how easy the fight was, I thought Floyd would win but Manny became hesitant after 1rd which was unexpected.
    2. The speed for all the talk of Mayweather and slow plodders, that's exactly what Manny looked like a Slow Plodder.
    3. The aggressiveness from Mayweather for all the talk about running, Mayweather lead the exchanges most of the fight. From the outset every meaningful blow was landed by Floyd it was only 10 clinches the entire fight(just counted) that's no excuse. Mayweather almost doubled Pacquiao in landed punches 81-148.

    What shocked me was that Floyd wasn't able to dominate Pacquiao.

    1) How easy this fight was for Floyd.
    2) That Pac actually thought he won.
    3) How much respect Pac was giving Floyd.
    4) How little meaningful advice Roach gave Manny after rd 1.
    5) How much stronger Floyd was than Manny.
    6) How Floyd actually seemed noticeably quicker than Manny.
    7) How far Manny is taking this injured shoulder excuse. I expect to hear Dr. Shaw Hyde's name mentioned soon.

    I am one of the "heart with Pac, head with Floyd" brigade - so things that shocked me during the fight:

    1) Basically nothing

    After the fight

    1) Pac's sportsmanship.

    Floyd won fair and square, in the unexciting way I expected would probably happen. Without the shoulder injury I suspect Pac could have made it harder work but that aside - to be it was obvious that Floyd had the edge, I reckon Floyd didn't like some of what he wore and the only hope for a different outcome I could have held is if Pac could have laid a bit more than that on when Floyd was looking a bit unhappy... but really his chin and ability to escape seemed a bit too good for that.

    What doesn't surprise me:

    1) How much crud is being talked by people who were rooting on Pac winning, and on Floyd winning - seriously, imho both guys fought a good fight, Floyd won, Pac made him work for it but it was looking inevitable.
