Re: To those who are upset about the Floyd-Manny fight!
I'm not disappointed really. I figured it would be a boring fight especially to a casual fan. And of course Manny's punch out-put is going to take a hit when he is facing the best counter puncher of this generation. When Pacquiao opens up - Floyd counters - Manny gets tagged.
Congrats to Floyd on the victory. I scored it 8-4 for Floyd

I did not mean that in a bad way. I guess I'm getting older and find it easier to read post that are shorter.fergusg wrote:I’m extremely quick at typing, which results in lengthy posts, which is either a blessing or a curse.MachoTime wrote:Why are your post so long?

Loads of people predicted that the fight would unfold as it did.

It was an ok fight, but anyone who thought it was going to live up to the hype was kidding themselves. I thought it was very competitive and the 118-110 card was way off, but neither boxer performed particularly well. The result was pretty much what I was expecting.

Re: To those who are upset about the Floyd-Manny fight!
This morning a very large demo of extreme fans (objectivity tainting love for pac, or objectivity tainting hate for Floyd or both lmao) are eating their cornflakes with tear-tainted milk, contemplating up to 6 reasons why it wasn't fair and why boxing sucks.
Truth is, Pac and Freddie made plenty of mention of how Floyd's legs aren't the same, and they knew they would be able to be on his ass.
So afterwards, for Pac to say Floyd didn't want to fight and ran, as in he was using the legs that were supposedly declined, out-landing and not letting Pac set, is silly. Floyd is who he has always been and his style is the same as you saw last night. When you don't see Floyd moving like that, it's against guys who've done better than Pac at negating Floyd's movement. Sh*t, the crude styled Maidana was even better than Pac at getting inside and keeping Floyd from moving while he wailed in Floyd's general direction.
Anyone that's going to fight and hopes to beat Floyd (without the one-shot lottery punch)is going to be a guy who forces him to engage more than he likes to and out-throws him.
Cotto used brilliant jabbing and very good footwork positioning to make their fight interesting.
So drop the sour grapes and admit that Pac had no plan B, and Plan A was that Floyd had declined and couldn't elude Manny's basic ferocious attacks over 12.
That wasn't super awesome, planning-wise.
and as for the injury, well, that sucks if it's true. But had the other side lost and said the same thing there would be pandemonium.
Exepcting Floyd to stand fight isn't the deal.
The deal is Floyd does what he does, and the guy who beats him will need to beat him while he's trying to do what he's always done.
All that being said, I'll be thrilled when they're both gone from the sport we can move on to the next phase, which is starting off in interesting fashion with so much network TV cards that aren't total junk.
