Let's be real. Floyd clearly won.
He won by doing what he does best. Maximising his strengths of boxing defensively, mixed with a bit of dirty stuff and running.

Another W in the resume.

Without any fireworks or drama.
 
Rob, the guy who was running the Bad Left Hook twitter feed scored it 115-113 for Pac.

Have fun :hi::lol:
People need to read the fucking rules. Clean Punching, Ring Generalship, Defense, Effctive Aggresion. If you scored it anything closer than 9-3 you are scoring purely on effective aggression.....and it wasn't even that aggresive.
 
My current pet peeve is fans 'who know' how to score.

It's crazy to score 116-112 but they get 118-110.so 2 rounds difference in a sport that is as subjective as you can get.

Mayweather won and deserved it,he got the right tactics and made the most of his strong wide stance,fast reactions and reach advantage.he performed and negated pacquiaos work,im not sure manny was really poor but he was a little flat.the main reason he didn't produce was floyd.

Fighting Rios and algieri is miles away from floyd.

The sport is subjective within the criteria scoring it. You cannot subjectively ignore that criteria. It that attitude that allows bullshit scorecards every week.

Manny won 3 and if I'm being generous, 4 rounds.

The fight was a disappointment for me.
Personally, I prefer a champion to fight. But then again, that's just my preference as a fan.
Having said that, Floyd was clearly the better boxer on the night and I think we all knew this was exactly what was going to happen.
 
Seen a lot of moaning on Facebook already about the 'shit' fight.:fire

Casuals can fuck off.
 
No rematch is what i'm most happy about, Pacman just didn't throw enough and wouldn't in a rematch either, he had a chance 5-6 years ago but that Manny is gone. 118-110 Floyd. Floyd did what he does, what he always wants to do, for me Pacman was a huge disappointment. Not as bad as Canelo but almost.
 
Was extremely frustrating how Manny couldn't cut the ring off and more so unable to anticipate Floyd pivoting off to his left. Obviously it's easier said than done but Floyd was able to reset him far too easily
This i 100% agree with.

He was far too easy to evade with the same defensive manourve.
