Scorecards coming up

12th to pac. floyd just ran in last round.
UD for floyd. i have it 8-4 or 7-5 floyd

financially speaking it makes sense for the boxing gods to give it to pacman so that there can be a 2nd fight. We shall see what the scorecards say.

thank the omnipotent figment of my imagination that I can say with honesty that I did not purchase this fight.

8-4, maybe 9-3 FMJ, but here comes controversy.

Judges scorecards

118-110
116-112
116-112






Mayweather wins

Judges got it right, I had it 117-111.

No controversy, at least.

Absolutely no reason for a rematch.

Fair decision no complaints here.

bring on Keith Thurman...prove yourself Floyd...lol

thank you for the updates...enjoy the rest of the weekend

Your welcome

I thought Loma was impressive. He totally outclassed his opponent and outlanded him 37-3 and 48-4 in different rounds. He put his punches together well, showed good offensive variety, and displayed the excellent movement and pivots that bamboozled Russell. He also punched more in clinches and didn't let himself get roughed up as he was against Salido; as he suggested tonight, he learned from that fight. The main thing I'd like to see him do is put more on his shots, but generally I think he's looked good.

The LSC fight was tedious and at various points I was hoping that it would be over with as soon as possible. LSC was not impressive and was getting hit a fair bit considering his opponent's level, while I also wonder if his power will be significantly less effective at 126. It's been several mediocre opponents in a row so hopefully the Mares fight is next and LSC gets back on form. Credit to his opponent, who showed impressive durability and heart; as the commentary suggested, he seems like a good test for prospects.

I had Manny-Floyd 117-111, but I have no problem with any of the cards. Floyd made it his fight and Manny didn't have the output to trouble him much apart from the 4th and the 6th.

Wilder era?

He's beaten one top ten opponent...hardly the type of stuff that suggests he'll have his own era.

Very well put.

Floyd fought the fight at his range and pace. From there it was impossible for Manny to mount any type of offensive that would give him a chance at winning.

Once Manny and Floyd are out of the picture, it will become the ra of Lomenchanko, Crawford, 3G (for however long til he's retired), and Kovalev.

didn't see a clear floyd win. these days he gets
too much credit for standing at the ropes and
not getting hit clean.

Granted there wasn't a great deal of action, but I thought Floyd consistently landed more shots and cleaner shots, and it seemed like his fight to me in most rounds. Manny had his moments and in my view was doing better than the commentary often seemed to suggest, but I can't see how he deserved more than 4 rounds.

Can we have the British or Canadian Anthem too please, I can play both of them with a flute like they did at Mayweather v Maidana 2.
Ok Jamie Fox just sang the American one and the Philippine one is finished.

Here we go.

They sing the Mexican national anthem because it's Cinco de Mayo weekend. It matters to the majority of boxing supporters in the US, the promoters and fighters like Floyd. The biggest fights in boxing for the last 22 years have been on Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence Day,
September 16th. Mexicans are the largest supporters of boxing in the US. They'll sing the Mexican national anthem again at next year's big fight on this same weekend regardless of who's fighting, no matter what you think.

Don't take it to seriously it was only a joke and a segway into the Maidana anthem played on a flute.
Of course I knew it was because Cinco and I don't have a problem with it at all.
I hope that clears it up for you.

A stinker of a fight and IMO could have went to either man. One of the weakest offensive outputs from both men. Tag boxing it was like. Floyd was the least impressive. The natural WW and bigger man and he still couldn't stamp his authority on the fight? Did Floyd even try to work inside when the opportunity presented itself?

Mayweather gets far too much credit for defending. It's not even defense/offense, it's just plain defending. To me that doesn't deserve all that much credit.
