W O W:laugh:

I saw that, wondered who else noticed that. It was kinda funny in the sense that once you are no longer active, some people just dont know who you are.

and no crediting Floyd's brilliant ring IQ?

you know...this may sound crazy...but idgaf....

I thought Manny fought a pretty good fight technically. I thought he was very defensively responsible. the problem is, you cant beat Floyd by fighting technical. Manny needed to be wild and reckless. but Floyd really wanted to open up on Manny like he did Shane...and Sr. was pissed because he wasnt but it was because Manny was fighting a very good fight technically. It wasnt a smart fight.....I am not saying that. He fell into the same pattern as everyone else, trying to box and out-think Floyd. Manny really shouldve fought "dumb". If he would have, he wouldve gotten beat worse or he wouldve won more rounds. Technically, he was very sound, but he just didnt take any chances. So yeah, I kinda agree that Manny is more of the blame for how the fight turned out. Remember, Floyd fought the same way he always does....Manny didnt.

Brehs i watched the replay of the fight today except the British feed.

American cacs are the worst demons on earth. Those Brits were oohing and aahing at Floyd's masterful performance.

Brehs were literally :whew: at his skills. All praise. They saw it for what it is no agendas no trash ass personal opinions.

:smh: @ this country as a whole.

To be fair, the HBO and Showtime team on board that night were doing the same thing. They were pretty fair :obama: Even that pac dikk sucker lampley.

No one on the team that night had pac winning or considered it even close. Even Kellerman was getting in Pac's ass.

Real Talk

In some ways I was impressed with Manny and disappointed at the same time. Like Mayweather said, you came away from the fight realizing he was smarter than I thought he was.......but at the same time I was disappointed he didn't lay it all on the line. I know Pacquaio isn't an inside fighter and doesn't fight in a phone booth but I honestly thought Pacquaio would approach the fight the way Hatton did and just be willing to die in there and he wasn't.

In addition to getting straight up odds on Floyd Mayweather from a Filipino chick at my gym (as opposed to laying the -210 to win 100) I bet Floyd mayweather by KO/TKO/Inside the Distance and to me the only 2 logical props were Manny on points or Floyd KO/TKO/Inside the Distance. I remember Roy Jones saying it on ESPN, he didn't think Floyd could win a decision and would have to knock him out......We both couldn't have been anymore wrong.

:lupe: what is karceno alluding to when talking about rumblings to do with manny's gloves?



Floyd tried to stop Pacquiao from fighting in Cleto Reyes gloves like he did Maidana from wearing MX Gloves. Claims because it was horse hair padding, but those particular gloves are made that way.

It's a non-issue now and was settled when the commission told Floyd:yeahright::camby: before the fight.

Unless there's something new coming out, that's what was discussed about 3 days ago in another thread

no, that's not what he was alluding to. thats old news about the Reyes...he is talking about rumblings AFTER the fight. thats why he said he fukked up by mentioning it.

First trying to get shots to numb the shoulder before the fight, now suspect gloves?:patrice:

This is why @Black_Jesus needs to be around until 2 weeks after the fight...we need answers:birdman:

I dont know if any of this stuff is true, but again....if there isnt some truth to it we wouldnt be talking about it. I dont care either really. Manny's whole P.R. team needs to report to the nearest bush and prepare for tossing.
