loooooooool that's good.

At least Manny got paid.

Disgraceful way Floyd kept hugging and holding all night and the ref Bayless was too much of a ***** to control the fight. The way Floyd played the game last night was disgusting and he really is bad for the sport. Once he's gone it'll be much better for boxing. Can't wait til September.

People wanted Manny to be aggressive, but its just the style clash that prevented it.

When Manny who is a guy fires straight punches wants to hit a guy who controls distance he makes it hard. The obvious way to avoid straight punches is to move to the left or right of them. Given Manny is also the shorter fighter by height and reach it just doubles the difficulty. It's geometry really.

Maybe if Manny was a tad faster he could of gotten off more, but Manny KNEW himself if he fired just an inch out of range the lengthier Mayweather could tag him or make him miss a lot easier. Roach didn't have a bad gameplan, I don't think so. Manny just couldn't get in range and pull the trigger with repeated success.

pac could have gotten in range.

that involves taking hits, pressing in and staying in as much as he can and punching as much as he can.

pressure fighter.

roach gameplan was to box his way into range avoiding floyd's punches. impossible.

[Left Hook Tua]

when your trainer's gameplan is to try to do something that is impossible for you, he failed you.

even mid rounds, roach didn't offer a change in strategy.

boxer punchers box less technical fighters.

they have to turn fights vs. pure boxers into slugfests.

Very well put. I had scored 116-112, could see 117-111 and 115-113 is possible if you give 2,4,6,9,10 to Pac but it's a tad generous. I feel like 2010 Pac would have been less hesitant than post ko'd Pac was in this fight. I'm not saying he would have won, but at the very least he would have picked it up in rounds 11-12 when it was clear he needed to. It hurt to see those last rounds and I'll probably watch the fight again when that hurt subsides.

Can someone who isn't a pac-tard like myself or a flo-mo offer an opinion on whether you thought the commentators were buggin out. They made it sound like he got Canelo'd which I don't think is fair to say.

Outside of saying that Floyd was going for a KO, Roy Jones was on point the entire night. Considering the punch stats and seeing the fight itself, Manny got schooled pretty badly IMO. Hit hit Floyd clean very few times, and by his own admission couldn't do anything about Floyd's movement.

floyd will do what hopkins did to tito.

score a popshot and stop pac from getting off by clinching, bodying him.

a month ago.

[jose.sooto]

I am pretty confident that Mr. Mayweather is going to tap that ass come may second. #TMT #TBE #48-0

As usual, this jose.sooto guy was ahead of his time with this one. #REALEST

Roach is a fkin idiot.

Roach is a fkin idiot.

pac can't beat floyd outside.

floyd is too smart.

if floyd was slow maybe. but floyd has comparable speed.

When he lead with the left he had success, Roach is a bitter, senile idiot.
