I remember watching that one. It looked like Davis might win it until late in the last round.

AngryGoon38 wrote: 06 May 2023, 16:47 I finally decided to watch the Mayweather jr-Pacqiou bout, yesterday, on my 32" smart-tv.
I had watched LiL HL snippets of it here and there, over the years since they're bout that they had in,... 2015..?
I just couldn't get over Floyd's blatant "Chickeny Crab" style of scardey cat-defensive cheatery.
It was Funny though, seeing Manny smiling, and almost laughing after each round ended.
He was probably basically thinking, "Gee, what a Chicken !"...And...
"Sheesh, This guy darts all around like a chicken on amphetamines, and keeps on constantly grabbing, like he learned it from a Crab defending itself from getting gobbled up."

With that said, had I been reffing, I would've deducted a point, multiple times.
Any other fighter would've had multiple point deductions.
And anyone who will say, "Oh, well.., Floyd's a defensive genius, blah blah blah..."
Yeah Sure, and if You Yourself were a Pro Boxer versus him and he was pulling all that shananigary on you, then You'd be Totally Changing You're Tune on all of that !!
It'd suddenly go from, "He's a defensive Genius, blah blah blah" to, "This Mf'er fights like a Chicken Sh$t Cheatin Coward". "Why doesn't he man up and fight like a Real Man instead of like a Chicken-Crab wonky outer space hybrid Creature...?!"

And also, "Why does the Ref pay it all No Mind whatsoever..?!" It's like, He's specially excempt from normal ref contempt of boxers who excessively run and grab. Especially the excessive grabbing and clinching.
Other boxers would have multiple point deductions doing all that shananigary, but no, not Floyd !!
He's Allowed !! Because boxing like a Chicken Crab is defensive Genius if it's Floyd doing it..!!! :-?
Don't forget the constant elbow. In Floyd's alter fights he picks the opponent and the ref. He's the paymaster.

Foreman vs Morrison

Morrison had an underrated right hand and it's a pity he didn't throw it more often in this fight because everytime he threw the right hook it had Foreman stunned.

Lewis vs Mercer

Not as exciting as I remember it. Lewis landing jabs, one-two's and uppercuts. Mercer did land quite a few power punches, but it wasn't anywhere near as competitive as people make it out to be. Most of the hooks Mercer threw landed on the arms and gloves.

Morrison could punch like hell, particularly his Left hook, which was one of the best ever, but he often gets overlooked when discussing punchers.
