Manny About To Take a Loss!

[bnovelist]

They showed footage of Vargas walking into the arena and he looked cool as hell like it's another day in the gym. Manny about to get his ass kicked!

I like to get a really good look at them a bit prior to the fight and Vargas looked really cool......all cheesin n everything

[gilgamesh]

This makes the 3rd time today you've changed your mind on this fight. Why not make a "Jessie Vargas and Pacquiao are gonna fight to a draw" thread for good measure while you're at it.

About to take a loss my ass.

[Enlightened-One]

Manny doesn't look as ripped as he usually does (despite his low official weight) and sacrifices the first round to Vargas due to a lack of punches thrown.

[lankester]

close but have to give it to vargas,

1-0 vargas

[Enlightened-One]

A better second round for Pacquiao. 19-18 to Manny on the scorecards due to scoring the flash knockdown.

[lankester]

same than Enlightened-One

19-18 pacman

[Enlightened-One]

The flash knockdown in the second round may have caused Vargas to lose his confidence, as he was very negative in the third. 29-27 to Pacquiao.

Stephen A. Smith may be entertaining, but he's not a good boxing commentator.

[DannyMCR]

Pacquiao won every round so far for me

[lankester]

29-27 to Pacquiao

[Enlightened-One]

Vargas is looking out of his depth and his offence is weak. 39-36 to Pacquiao.

I reckon the Filipino is likely to stop Vargas because too many of his punches are landing cleanly.

[lankester]

my stream is pretty weak, ill stop the rbr. Thk Enlightened-One

[Enlightened-One]

I don't know if Manny is loading up or whether his fleshy physique accurately reflects his fitness levels, but Pacquiao isn't throwing as many punches as he used to.

It doesn't really matter though, because what he's doing is enough to win the rounds.

49-45 to Pacquiao.

[Enlightened-One]

Vargas has regained some confidence and he started gaining some form of success over the last two rounds.

The 6th could have gone either way, but I'll give it to Vargas for his superior work-rate.

58-54 to Pacquiao.

[Enlightened-One]

Stephen A. Smith has only given two of the first six rounds to Pacquiao!

[diddy]

Stephen A. Smith has only given two of the first six rounds to Pacquiao!

Because he's a moron and has no idea what he's watching.

[Enlightened-One]

The seventh round could have gone either way, but Manny gets the nod from me with his better quality.

Despite leading on my scorecards, Pacquiao is looking far past his prime, but perhaps the opponent may explain his performance.

68-64 to Pacquiao.

[Keko]

Stephen A. Smith has only given two of the first six rounds to Pacquiao!

Because he's a moron and has no idea what he's watching.

Modern days deserve modern judging

[Enlightened-One]

Vargas is brave and he is trying, but he's getting beaten up and he may need to either stop or score several knockdowns over Pacquiao to win the bout.

78-73 to Manny.

[Enlightened-One]

Pacquiao blamed the shoulder injury for his low work-rate against Mayweather, but he's fighting at the same pace against Vargas.

Manny is still winning the rounds though, but the ninth wasn't clear-cut.

88-82 to Manny.

[Enlightened-One]

Vargas appears to be in survival mode, as he appears to have lost his ambition.

Pacquiao coasted the tenth round.

98-91 to Manny.

[Enlightened-One]

Nothing interesting to say about the eleventh round, as it's all one way traffic from Pacquiao.

The Top Rank commentators are pretty bad though, earlier on they were talking about Naseem Hamed suffering a stoppage loss, which of course never happened.

108-110 to Manny.

[DannyMCR]

117-109 for Pacquiao, how on earth Jessica thought he won that is bizarre

[Keko]

118:109 Manny
