Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[FeFist]

I only used marquez as a comparison because in that fight he didnt get discouraged even after getting KD, he still kept coming.

I think that the main problem was that pac actually trying to outbox may most of the time when he should of been trying to use angels and throw combos.

Pac actually had some success when he threw combos, making may shell up a couple of times, he just didnt do it any where near enough.

He didn't get discouraged because he could still get to Marquez. What do you think would frustrate your more, walking up a hill with a sack of potatoes but a clear goal in sight, or walking in an endless loop.

The problem is that people don't understand what it is like to be under pressure and think it amounts to your opponent keeping you under siege. Pacquiao had success when he threw combos and then Mayweather adapted; you look at the fight closely you will notice that he developed an escape route for every method of offence Pacquiao had. It's why he would win one round and have limited success in the rounds after.

I actually get what Pacquiao was trying to accomplish in this fight. If it took Mayweather two rounds to adapt to the new tactics Pacquiao tried to employ, Mayweather could have been down on the scorecards. Unfortunately for Pacquiao, every time he tried something different, Mayweather had him figured out by the end of the round.

Oh yes you dIid LOL You connected the Floyd fans to the rioting in Baltimore. Also assumed they didn't have fathers.


Own it bi tch.

Lol that has a lot to do with boxing , doesn't it. It was in response to Floyd fans defending the riots And I apologised and said it was a joke to chiefz- a guy who I respect a lot and didn't wanna offend.

And my favourite fighter is a black fighter Bernard Hopkins which is well known on this forum but you wouldn't know because you only follow one fighters fights and are not a boxing fan

And my last 2 posts in this thread before the fight :

If mayweather wins but pacquaio waits too much, Floyd still deserves all the credit in the world.

But if that happens, people will be saying Floyd fought a shot pacquaio.
But mayweather hypnotises , discourages his opponents. He's the one that causes it

I think people are gonna be surprised at how pacquaio is the sharper fighter, the more co-ordinated athlete and that's whAt is gonna make him win the exchNges and ultimately the fight

Floyd is gonna wanna be first at times against a fast fighter like manny. He's gonna have to jab a lot, and use the pawing jab to keep Mannys right hook at bay and counter with the left hook over it. Floyd's gonna wanna limit Mannys output using lateral movement, check hooks as he's coming in, over hand rights if manny tried cutting him off from going to his left. You're gonna see Floyd work the body like me and tenma said ages ago

I see mayweather putting up a big charge in the middle rounds because he has a lot if will , heart, and skills but PAC wins a close decision

Burt Clements: 114-114
Dave moretti: 115-113 pacquaio
Glenn Feldman: 116-112 pacquaio

Enjoy your victory

I got a lot of respect for mayweather as I've said in this thread before.

Had Mayweather winning 8-4

Pacquiao started too slowly, Floyd got away with holding and wrestling moves, Bayless never even gave him a hard warning and Floyd would also ignore Bayless's commands.

This allowed Floyd to control the range for much of the fight, keep Pacquiao at bay with the jab, and then hold him when Pacquiao got into his range.

The times when Pacquiao did get there and was not held he had the better of the exchanges.

Floyd did not dominate the fight. I thought Floyd would land around 140 punches this fight, I just expected Pacquiao to land more and throw more than he did.

Only the 11th round Floyd won with a big margin, the rest of the rounds he nicked. Pacquiao won 4 and 6 clearly and nicked 9 and 10.

Pacquiao is certainly not the fighter he was 5/6 years ago, it has been a steady decline since Margaritto. Still a top fighter, but the decline as well as the shoulder injury played it's part as well as Bayless inability to penalise Floyd for blatant and deliberate fouls.

Think Roach got the game plan wrong as well, and really should have postponed the fight 3 weeks ago because of injury, no tickets and went on sale at that point as well.

You better watch it again, you'll see those body and head shots are significant and plenty.

You don't have to believe, but allot of us saw an effective Pac who gave Floyd all he can muster, even with all the running he did. And that my friend is skill.

Stand tall Pac you did great!

Nah. I watched the fight with my two brothers and a few mates and two of them gave Pac 3 rounds and three of us gave him 2 rounds.

Well, boxing is a sport where the one who taps his opponent most wins, not the one who hurts his opponents and made him run.

G**** mayweather, i'm paying my bettors 12hours from now.

Yup, if you put everything in a nuttshell, FLoyd won by running and jabbing and not letting PAc fight and when PAc got closer, he will hold, which in turn will make bayless break that eats up time for pac to do damage. Then rinse.

But if you scored it for PAc, you can easily say, his the active agressor that pinned floyd over and over to the ropes, hit him to the body and head several times, hurt Floyd more than him getting hurt by Floyd. More harder punches hit.

PAc made him run. That to me shows who's in command. Those head shots and body were being landed to FLoyd over and over. HArder and more.

Floyd only won by points through effective jabs, take that away, he is outclassed by pac.

i am a filipino.. a pacquiao fan obviously.. floyd clearly outpoints my man.. no excuses.. i gave floyd 8 rounds.. i don't blame pac for thinking he won the fight.. maybe he felt he was the aggressor and floyd didn't hurt him.. maybe when he review the tape he will change his mind.. for me he did not do what he was suppose to do and mayweather did.. thats about it.. but after all that i just wonder if the result would be the same if the fight was made 5 years ago.. floyd gain my respect today hats off to him!

Boring ass fight. Guess Floyd forgot he's supposed to hug his spouse and punch his opponent, not hug his opponent and punch his spouse

I just watched presser again. I can see why you love manny so much. You are both pathetic excuse makers who show their true colors when faced with the truth.

Floyd had to literally save this guy in the presser from giving away his dignity forever. Just a terrible performance in and out the ring by manny.

Everything you said for years-excuse me I'm laughing at you so hard-shoved right down your throat.

I hope you learned that jabs do count.

Syonara!

Why do you still sound butthurt.

I'm a boxing fan, you are just a fan of Floyd.

[The Big Dunn]

Yup he did, he wasn't his best tonight, he was nursing a right shoulder injury hence the drop in punch output and right hook power.

If he did it more, this would have been a different story. That said you can still argue a draw and even a win by PAc. He was afterall, the effective aggressor that pinned floyd so many times to the ropes. That's ring generalship right there, plus body and head shots over and over throughout the course of the fight that we saw Floyd winded. Shows PAc's skill on display. He was just not 100%.

Wah, wah wah, snifflflfllflflflfeeee, wah, wah, cough cough cooooooughhhh, wah wah
