|||THE OFFICIAL||| Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao ROUND BY ROUND!!!!

Now Floyd is just on ESPN reminding everyone all his shit paid for.........

 

I doubt anyone on this site or most boxing fans in general would agree with you. There is no comparison for mine. This fight was wanted for at least 5 years and was between two of the undisputed best. The Tarver fight was seen as a afterthought and a disappointment as RJ failed to make another fight at HW.

All this talk smacks of dissatisfaction in the fight to me.

 

This fight should have happened 5 years ago. It finallly happened when both guys were past their primes. That isn't as meaningful as an all tine P4P great like RJJ reachingi the point in his career where he could be defeated. For the first time.

Were people here actually watching boxing 10 years ago? No one remembers the significance of the second RJJ / Tarver fight?

 

Nah I wasn't. This is the first fight I ever watched.

 

Yeah, because a younger (31 years old) Leonard really showed killer instinct against an old, past-prime Marvin Hagler instead of 'boxing' him. Floyd showed plenty of killer instinct earlier in his career too.. certainly more than Leonard showed against Duran in their rematch

 

Me too.

Actually I started watching boxing in the mid 80s when Mike Tyson was on the way to becoming the heavyweight champ. I watched every RJJ fight until he started losing badly. How is tonight as important as the greatest P4P boxer of all time facing his first real challenge? How is tonight's fight meaningful at all? Mayweather won a boring decision victory as expected,

 

Thanks for the resume.
Roy v Tarver is nowhere close to as important as the fight we just saw. It reads to me like you and some others are now on the: the fight was meaningless bandwagon.

I wonder if that would be the case if Pac won?

 

If Pacman had won it would have been different. I believe he would have won if they had fought in their primes 5 years ago. Impossible to prove, I know.

It is frustrating to see so many flaws in Mayweather's game, and to see that no one today has been able to take advantage of those flaws and beat him in a fight.

 

That is correct Tony. I mean seriously? RJ v Tarver bigger than the biggest fight in recent boxing history? A stretch Mr Fantastic couldn't make.

 

Gotcha. You're upset with the outcome and want to downplay the fight as a result. At least you're honest.

 

Well, yeah. I said before the fight that I wanted Manny to win but I expected Floyd to get the win by decision. I can't say anything that takes away anything that Floyd has accomplished as a boxer. All I can say is that Pacquiao is more fun to watch, and I wanted him to win. And that Pacquiao a few years ago had the kind of speed and killer instinct to beat Floyd.

 

I get that. I wanted Pac to win also but when I stopped to think about it, even 5 years ago, I saw a typical FM points victory. That's what we got. It's boring but that's boxing sometimes.

That shouldn't be used to downplay the event itself. Years too late but at least it's not a mythical matchup like it seemed doomed to be.

 

Floyd apparently had two hurt hands and damaged at least one arm in training. Manny is an excuse making cunt. He lost because he lost.

 

Wasn't a secret Floyd had bad hands. He always has bad hands. There were stories about Floyd not being able to train because of his hands.

Most fighters enter the ring with injuries..rarely are 100%. I didn't think Manny made excuses per se (at least not at the post fight press conference, I couldn't hear the in-ring interviews). Nearly every question posed to him was about his shoulder. How else was he supposed to answer the questions?

 

I hear you. I had a bad shoulder injury a couple months back and I'm telling you I couldn't lift my left arm past my shoulder. Putting on t-shirts took me ten minutes for example. Very painful. After this fight I saw Manny throw both arms into the air above his head in fake victory celebration. No way he could have done that that quickly and easily if his shoulder was as damaged as he is saying. No way. You've had shoulder injuries yourself as you said, so you can agree.

 

Manny likes making excuses when he lose. Shoulder, foot blisters, Jesus, etc.

 

I don't care about a shoulder but Mayweather was running and holding and to me that doesn't win a fight. It was a terrible fight as a result of his antics.

 

You really think so?

The fight when just as I said - an older, more patient, tepid Manny plays right into Floyd's hands resulting in a boring sparring session. That was obvious.

Not sure it tells us that much about how a fight would have gone 5 years ago, when Manny was still a pressure fighter. I certainly don't think he'd get KO'd.

 

Those guys are traditional pressure fighters, it doesn't mean Pacquiao isn't also a pressure fighter.

He absolutely is/was a pressure fighter to me, albeit an unusual one - a southpaw pressure fighter who attacks from mid range and doesn't fight inside.

To be honest it's kind of what made me a fan of Pacquiao, despite being stylistically different, he reminded me of Duran in his relentless pressure and intensity.

 

You can have a tear in your rotator cuff and not need surgery. Can be treated by rehab. My point is, if they start going on about tears etc that's highly suspect to me. In my case I have two tendons tear off the bone. I couldn't do jack shit with my arm. If they start down that road about tendons off the bone etc. then I'm calling bullshit ASAP. There's no way he could fight. So I don't want to hear that bullshit.

If there's a small tear or mid grade tear and they fucked up the paperwork and he couldn't get an anti-inflamatory...that's on them they fucked up.

One thing I will say, Teddy Atlas made a good point last night. Why is it Nevada allows shots into your hands to allow you to fight but not an anti-inflamatory? Isn't the numbing shots to the hands performance enhancing?

Don't get it.

 

Apparently Pac's camp waited until 6:30pm on fight night to notify about the injury, and came with the paperwork at the last minute to demand a shot. The NSAC said if they had nitified of the injury during training, they would've had no problems with it. There's an article in boxingscene explaining it.

 

Why the hell didn't they file it earlier?

 

That's their fuck up. Not Floyd's problem.

Floyd probably got the injections in his hands he needed.

 

agreed. Makes no sense. Shots into the hands an anti-inflamatory are equivalent.

watching the post fight presser right now and it's hilarious. "my shoulder, my shoulder, my shoulder.." manny makes the most ridiculous excuses after every loss.
