According to Arum and Pacquiao had a shoulder injury. Would explain why he didn't throw as much but his tactics for the fight were completely off, roach wanted him to essentially box with Floyd and that is obviously a death sentence
Mayweather isn't going to knock you out, so what Pac did by sitting their not engaging was plain dumb. That's why I believe the fix was in. Pac has never fought the way he fought against mayweather in his entire career. To me it smells fishy. Hell, that's probably why mayweather took the fight in the first place so that they could both get rich, all the while knowing that he and pac had an agreement. I want my 100.00 back.
nah. he and roach just simply screwed up. he needed to be fearless and go for it, he needed to walk through Mayweathers offense and use his lateral footspeed to get in and out. He didn't he stayed in range and allowed Floyd to pick him apart. Whatever Floyd was throwing back, Pacquiao didn't want to take punishment to land, which he needed to do
Lol at Manny and others saying he won this fight. Mayweather clearly dominated and made Pac look mediocre. Money put on a clinic last night. Floyd's defense, in the word's of Mike Tyson, is impregnable.
Floyd won the "fight", but he didn't beat Manny. He let Manny go the distance with him EASILY. Manny was hit by baby punches... Not a champion... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5wwItkoapuA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
There will always be racists unfortunately, and like tinman said, it goes both for Manny being filipino/se-asian, and Floyd being African American. And considering myself that I am part Filipino, Spanish, and Chinese, I have to say I had my fair share of unpleasant experiences too. :grin:
I understand Mayweather's tactics. Its just disappointing that at the end of the "fight of the century" neither guy even looked like they had been in a fight. Nobody "left it all in the ring" if you know what I mean. They could have gone another 10 rounds.
Being label the fight of the century and having every news outlet and the whole world covering it and you get that kind of results??? The fault goes to both Floyd And Manny. Its called the fight, keyword being the fight of the century not a boxing exhibition based on points, lol. The whole world is laughing right now.
You Floyd nut huggers, keyword being nut huggers will take anything, you guys got hoodwinked and manipulated by that 48-0. Thinking it means something, lol. It don't mean ****. Castillo was a lost, you remember that one?
where's the blame for manny? why are people blaming floyd for a 1 sided fight? that's like blaming the seahawks for beating the broncos 43-8 in super bowl XLVIII. floyd showed up and did exactly what everybody expected him to do, manny on the other hand was the one that came with that idiotic gameplan. manny was shook of that right straight all night. i thought floyd had no power? why wasn't manny walking through his punches? floyd might not have that 1 punch KO power but opponents still respect his power. NONE of his opponents walk through his punches. he even had canelo alverez backing up.
Every knowledgable boxing fan knew exactly what was coming. It's your fault if you watch this sport for knockouts and blood. Are you one of those guys that calls teams like the Spurs and Hawks boring, because they rely on ball iq and teamwork instead of dunks, crossovers, fadeaways and ISO? Even if not, it's exactly the same as reducing boxing to a pub brawl or cage match.
I wouldn't call this dominating. Floyd doesn't want to go toe to toe with this kind of combination. <div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/oliverguerrero.poet/videos/1634484466771935/" data-width="500"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/oliverguerrero.poet/videos/1634484466771935/">Posted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oliverguerrero.poet">Gene Spalding</a> on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oliverguerrero.poet/videos/1634484466771935/">Monday, May 4, 2015</a></blockquote></div></div>
