Had the fight 116-112. Had it pretty much level half way through but thought Floyd pretty much swept the second half of the fight.

The swing rounds on the official cards were round 8&9.

Just been browsing various websites for reaction whilst my daughter watches cartoons. The reaction is really negative, most thought the fight was really boring, frustrated at the clinching and lack of action. We all knew it wasn't likely to be a classic, but I can't help thinking a good fight would've won boxing a lot more fans. After all the hype and build up, it's left a sour taste with casual fans which is a shame.

Fuck the casuals.

The only thing wrong with Floyd's night, was his towel service.

Pure class from Money.

I thought Max Kellerman was excellent, not trying to take Manny's insanity.

 

[Mr A]

Fuck the casuals.

They'll certainly stay casual after tonight.

Mayweather's control of distance was phenomenal, really impressive tonight, 117-111 on my card btw.

 

[Scorpio78]

@IanDarke: I will repeat my old line. Mayweather is a great fighter who has never been in a great fight. In that regard he's too good for his own good

 

[Charliebigspuds]

Quality performance from Mayweather,poor form from Team Pacquiao blaming an injury.

Definitely think we would've seen a different fight years ago,maybe not different result but both fighters legs are gone/going.

 

[shenmue]

Floyd just said he will probably vacate all 5 belts on Monday, last fight will still be a 12 rounder.

 

[Nigelbro]

Floyd shut-out. End thread./

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.

This needs taking note of. Floyd won the dance; discouraging attacks with subtle movement, jumpin on subsequent openings, forcing Manny to think.

Mayweathers got a locked in savings account that guarentee him $1million a month for the rest of his life.

Source?

 

[shenmue]

Floyd's own mouth is the source.

They'll certainly stay casual after tonight.

Until the next superfights comes along and we go through it all again. They'll keep coming back when it gets hyped. I wouldnt worry to much about casuals.

They'll buy khan brook and other hyped fights.

Floyds resume is amazing, their is no denying that now.

I know...

All those great names yet people still cry over Margarito... As if fucking Margarito back in the day would've cemented his legacy

If he had faced Margorito people would be slating him for ducking Carlos Baldomir.

Yeah I agree.

Gets critised for fighting flat footed opponents yet people still wheel out Margarito as a duck. Laughable.

If ever a fighter was made to make him look good as well!
