It does not take a slo mo analysis to see that this fight was close. I will say this in the issue of fairness and objectivity considering that I like Mayweather and have never cared much for Pacman as a fighter.
The claim that this fight was close is subject to much derision. Well...Spoon and other posters went and looked for proof of the contention that Pacman won because it appears that to the status quo this claim was considered extraordinary.
With this being said why critisize people for showing proof that, in their estimation Pacman won? I applaud this effort.
To my way of thinking, judges often screw up decisions...I can see a scenerio where from a judges perspective, either man could have been called the winner. Both guys landed, pacman was the aggressor for much of the fight, Floyd landed many accurate blows in countering this aggression.
I just don't score fights. Watching this fight the sense I got was neither guy showed dominance over the other. I can live with that. I don't begrudge others for calling out the judges though, at the very least this could have instigated a rematch instead of claims that Floyd obviously won the fight. My two cents, worth 1.5 cents with inflation.
