i thought pacquiao won as well. although i watched on a laggy stream. seemed like he dominated round 4 and the resat of the fight was just mayweather running away grabbing or ducking into a corner.

Pacquiao won two rounds imo - 4 & 6 - three rounds at most. I was surprised two judges had him winning four rounds. If you think Pacquiao won this fight you do not understand boxing.

That being said, I agree the fight was lacking. HBO has had some really great fights on in the past two months, most of which were more exciting than this fight. One of the commentators tonight referenced Hagler/Hearns, I can't remember the context - but take a few minutes to watch the fight if you've never seen it and try to imagine the reaction on social media if tonight's fight had even half the action of Hagler/Hearns.

Hagler and Hearns would land more legitimate punches in 1 round than these old men tonight did in the whole fight

I dont understand boxing and dont remember mayweather doing much good at all tonight. Is Pacquiao penalized for missed punches?

Im reality it was more of a dance than a fight

I don't think either fighter deserved to win that fight. Manny won two rounds, Mayweather successfully ran away for 10. Maybe they agreed beforehand to take it easy so they could enjoy the afterparty.

If you know anything about boxing Mayweather clearly won. On a 12 round scoring system Mayweather won more rounds than Manny. The judges can clearly see when Mayweather scores with jabs, counter rights, and lead rights which he was landing cleanly all night. He wasn't running from Manny, he was using whats known as lateral movement to offset his rhythm. If Mayweather would of stayed in the pocket all night he would of lost which is why he moved and box most of the night. I like both guys and had money on Mayweather but honestly thought it would've been a little more competitive.

Then they need to get a scoreboard so both fighters know who is winning and have a chance to adjust.

You don't need a round by round score to be announced - you and your corner know if the fight is close and generally if you won a round or not. I was surprised I didn't hear more urgency coming out of Pacquiao's corner after the 10th and 11th rounds.

^mass rioting mid-match when the judges completely throw the fight, like Mayweather-Maidana or Pacquiao-Bradley.

^^ Off hand, the potential of one judge's score influencing another judge thereby reducing the objectivity of each judge's scorecard further.

^In Germany they actually do announce the score after a certain number of rounds, or maybe it is after every round.

In general it is a good idea to not PPV any combat sports. Last night all 3 fights were lop sided score card victories. Often times there is lots of dancing around the ring. Then there is the total opposite outcome of an early KO. My cousin and his friends had a party for a PPV Tyson fight one time and Tyson won by KO just seconds into the first round. They have never paid for PPV boxing since.

I didn't understand how it was supposed to be a "good" fight in the first place.

Everything I read said Mayweather had it in the bag. They also went on and on about his immaculate defense. Since I'm not a big boxing fan fascinated by how a man can avoid getting hit, I dunno...it seemed evident it would be boring.

What were people expecting?

Fighting a woman is obviously much easier for him. But, even then, he still needs his buddies around to intimidate his small children so they can't call the police. Also, he primarily has to target poor, uneducated women who can't support themselves without his help.

Beating women is hard. Y'all just don't understand.

Mayweather punches women but hugs boxers; somehow that makes him the best boxer of this era.

That's kinda the part I don't understand. Like, I get that people make money off him. And I get that people get paid off by him.

But it seems like there'd be another fighter out there to fill his shoes with no problem.

Why does he get special treatment? What's the dirty secret?

I'm a fan of boxing, and I'm a fan of Mayweather and Pacman. I can appreciate the concussion inducing boxers, and I can also appreciate the skilled boxers as well. Mayweather uses defense because history has shown that taking too many shots in the head is not healthy. Also, I'm against women abuse but the man did serve his time. I hate that the media take one snapshot of someone's life and replay it indefinitely like that defines them entirely.

So nice of you to google a scripture. Nowhere in said scripture does it even say anything about "treating women like shit". But I will definitely pray for you and your understanding.

I just went to sleep and got up in the morning and downloaded it before I knew who won so I didnt have to deal with any shitty streams in foreign languages. Fight went exactly as expected. Mayweather danced around, threw some jabs, made everyone wonder why the fuck they paid 100 bucks for this, and collected his check. All we can wish is this fight had happened 5-6 years ago so it might have been worth the money.

The thing with May is that dudes come in thinking they can take the fight to him, but they soon realize that along with being an incredibly skilled defender, he's also bigger and stronger than them. When Manny got tagged with a right about a minute into the first round, you could see his entire demeanor change as he realized he had no realistic shot of winning. The best he could hope for was not to get knocked out, which is exactly how he played the rest of the match. As for Mayweather, he's 38 and has had several hand/arm injuries throughout his career, so of course he doesn't throw many punches when just not getting hit will win him the fight. Dude isn't trying to get brain damage for your amusement people.



People were cheering Manny during this exchange lol. Just no hope.

You people grew up thinking boxing is what you see in the Rocky movies....ITS NOT.

Why would this man go out and give himself CTE just to make you people happy? If you want to see brain damage watch a football game.

Mayweather threw 435 punches to Pacquiao's 429, Mayweather landed 148 to Pacquiao's 81

Mayweather threw 265 Jabs to Pacquiao's 193, Mayweather landed 67 to Pacquiao's 18

Mayweather threw 168 "Power punches to Pacquiao's 236, Mayweather landed 81 to Pacquiao's 63

Mayweather dominated this fight, and only lost 2 rounds on my unofficial score card. Don't blame Mayweather for the fight being boring, blame his opponent that couldn't cut off the ring and force him into a more entertaining brawl. The only chance Pacquiao had of winning a decision was to throw 100 punches a round and simply out work Mayweather.
