Well, the other Americans here are probably out drinking at the bar, so I don't know what they think.

Oh... the Filipinos? Like I said... it's pretty quiet outside, so I guess everyone's sulking.

This is the Philippines, people don't riot in the streets for sports matches.

I think people would have accepted a 116 - 112, 116 - 112, 115 - 113. The 118 -112 is a travesty of judging.

Most live blogs I've checked had it at 115 - 113 Mayweather. Manny simply didn't bring enough to crack his defense.

I'm sorry but Floyd controlled the fight the whole way. Manny didn't throw enough punches to win. Floyd does like he always does, he used the jab to keep him honest and played keep away. I wanted Manny to win but I figured he would have a hard time getting past Floyd's defense. Personally I hope there's not a rematch it was a terrible fight. Very boring. The smartest thing Floyd did was wait 5 years to fight Manny. If this fight happened back Manny would have won.
 
Easiest payday they both will ever have. I feel for the ones who paid top dollar to be there.

Exactly what I expected from Floyd but Manny was disappointing for what he normally brings, but that's what Mayweather is good at, nullifying the opponent. Only boxers can appreciate what he does, I'm not a boxer :grumpy:

Out-Boxed, Masterclass, technically dominated... All the terms thrown about when a defensive style boxer beats an aggressive fighter.. In other words, don't bother watching the repeat.

Is this really how the judges, judge a boxing match?!?

No. This is how they judge a boxing match:

CEDnl7IUgAAbPdY.jpg


The first picture is from "Compubox", computerized punches scoring system run by two operators (usually established ex boxers). That information is released after the fight is over (sometimes for TV audience during fights).

CompuBox's purpose is to settle controversies surrounding fights by counting each punch thrown by each of the fighters, and also each punch landed, to provide fight viewers with a final punchstat count and a perception of who should ideally be given the judges' decision, in the cases where a fight lasts the full distance.

The system calls for two operators. Each operator watches one of the two fighters and has access to four keys, corresponding to jab connect, jab miss, power punch connect, and power punch miss. The operators key in the different punches as they happen, collecting punch counts and hit percentages along the way.

That's not the correct way to box? I assumed it was. Usain Bolt would be a great boxer then.

The guy in the middle is the one who isn't boxing. The whole point of boxing and the chicken chase thing is to stop the opponent from being able to move around you. "Boxed into a corner" etc.
 
Probably the most likely outcome from the start if I'm honest. One does wish some more boxers could come along in a few years that could bring more interest back in it, though.

Care to explain what those "pink, blue, and white" stands for?
 
Rumours are going around on Social Media saying that Pacquiao fought the match with a injured shoulder.
 
Welp... so much for the "Fight of the Century". It was pretty boring. All that hype for nothing, because Mayweather did nothing but jab, run away, clinch, etc. He even did some dirty tricks by clinching Manny's arm and neck, and the referee didn't even give him a warning on that. Sure, Mayweather's use (and even abuse) of his reach advantage is commendable, but yeah, all he did was let the fight drag on. I already had a feeling that the only way Manny would win this fight is to get a knockout, but sadly it didn't happen. That wasn't worthy of being the "Fight of the Century", and I'm betting people will forget about that some time soon.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Manny in the Red corner during fighter introductions? If that's the case, then the judges may have inadvertently given Manny the win.
 
Injured or not, his performance was underwhelming. If he wants to redeem his self, he should try to fight GGG at 154lbs. But that's not happening. He's just a blown up lightweight in the welterweight division. The other options are Thurman and Brook at welter.

I agree, He should have been more aggressive. There were many chances where he could have laid a barrage of punches on Mayweather, especially with Mayweather's arms down, but he didn't. Round 4 looked very promising, because it seems that he finally caught on to Mayweather's rhythm, but he didn't capitalize on that. Shame.

Its like he's not Pacquiao in that fight. No speed and aggression. Its like he's scared to be counter punched.
Welp, I voted Mayweather to win last September but still I'm disappointed of Pacquiao's performance.

I still think that knockout from Marquez did a good number on him. Ever since then he's been holding back for most of the time on his fights. Even his 2nd fight with Bradley, he didn't show the fierceness that people admired and wanted.

Yes. But I still do think that that KO is the greatest thing happened in his career. He became a better, calculating Pacquiao after that, but its too late now. I think he only have at least 1-2 fights left in his tank. So its useless.
 
I'm through round 5 watching the fight so far. I gotta say, Mayweather has been in the driver's seat so far. It's like watching olympic points boxing vs a pit brawler. Like a master swordsman trying to charge into a pike phalanx. :lol:

Mayweather is the naturally bigger fighter. He's boxing Pacquiao like Wladimir Klitschko boxes his opponents. Death by a thousand jabs, and when they advance they run into your right hand.

Yeah, there's no question Mayweather makes good use of his size and reach to control the pace of the fight. He's always using his left hand to keep Pacquiao in check, and his counter-punches are nothing but immediate.

Pacquiao did manage to get into Mayweather's rhythm in Round 4, which really surprised him. He was all over the place while Pacquiao chased him.
