What bothers me are these sport reporters who aren't boxing analysts trying to explain why mayweather is boring because they wanted pac to win or like his style better. They know nothing about boxing or strategies or the politics involved or weight classes and then sit there like I saw SSL Fight !!! That's a good fighter not Floyd . It's horrible analysis and they don't do it for other sports yet for some reason boxing anyone can act like a expert . You don't see SAS dissecting soccer or cricket he stays in his lane

Boxing is a sport where you need a good matchup to be entertaining. Pacquiao vs Mayweather was a boring fight from someone who usually finds Mayweather fights supremely entertaining.. but your point still stands... shyt is like nikkas watching a chess match complaining that they are bored by it

Roach is so confident in Pacquiao’s ability to land his left hand at will in this fight that he feels that can beat Mayweather with his right hand tied behind his back to where he only uses his left throughout the fight.

“That’s where Floyd is most vulnerable,” Roach told the dailymail.co.uk. “We’re at the point where Manny could beat him with his right arm tied behind his back.”

Maidana deserves his props for the first fight, even if it was reffed all loosey goosey

Uncertain grounds
one of the funniest/:snoop: things about the casuals is that they think clinching is illegal and they basically know boxing from tyson highlights and the Rocky movies :bryan:

yeah clinching excessively can get warned/pointed but everyone was yelling about it every time where i was :mjlol: and floyd barely clinched after the first 4 rounds

defense is non existent to them..and then it got real real quiet when compubox stats got put up...i busted out in laughter..they act like floyd runs because no one touches him..but he doesnt AND out-lands his opponents :mjlol:

they asked me for my card after every round and once i had it at 6-2 i was getting heckled lol :yeshrug:

only two other people had seen hagler/hearns and hagler/leonard and us 3 were in consensus so i basically just drank my gin and went :umad::umad::umad::umad: times a million to everyone by the end. shyt really was hilarious and those saying it was a bad fight or that boxing is dead are the people that werent keeping it alive in the first place so :camby:

Well I don't have a problem with a casual fan finding it boring or rooting for Floyd to lose and getting mad cause that's what he wants . But the "expert" analysis or saying they scammed us ! ESPN loves the pats Spurs ,duke etc but can't appreciate the fundamentals of Floyd ?? It's like manny is the one who's not a sound fighter ( compared to Floyd ) it's very odd
