Mayweather vs Pacquiao Predictions

[Vec]

Pacman with KO on 5th

[mdk]

Mayweather TKO.

edit: call it...... I was thinking four originally, but I reconsidered and now I'm guessing after six.

[Vec]

rigged. I'm done. 118-110 ? really? WTF HE WAS RUNNING AWAY THE WHOLE TIME AND HE GOT IN MORE PUNCHES THAN MANNY? year right....

@Vec

Eh? He's taller, that's what you do.

If you had a gun and the other person had a baseball bat, would you run up to them and hit them with your gun?

Mayweather frustrated the hell out of Pac, I'm not even a particular competent boxing fan and I could tell he had him in the majority of rounds, as well as generally being more accurate. Plus, it was pretty funny that the big villain won and the crowds had to watch a fight they probably didn't understand for like thousands of dollars.

more like millions but w/e its over now...

You saw Manny unloading a lot, but most of it was right into Mayweather's guard. He fought smart and dominated that fight. I know there's a fine line between 'running away' and 'making him chase you,' but this was clearly the latter. Mayweather punished him whenever the window was open. There were one or two chances for Pacquiao to finish it early, but those were his only hope, and he couldn't pull it off.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Overmarketed.

[mdk]

So it turns out Pacman had a torn rotator cuff before the fight started, which explains at least one of his 'fuck it I'll back off' moments. Who knows, maybe healthy he could've done it. Would've been much more interesting five years ago.

[Dead Girl]

Well, it looks like the most boring boxing fight of the 21st century. Maybe a boxing fight with girls from 8 to 10 would be more interesting.

[Jster]

Isn't that just Mayweather's style? Boring but technically skilled?

[Meth Quokka]

I think with both at their prime it would've been worth the promotional billing, sadly both are past it now. Although age does take more of a toll on Pacquiao's style than it does on Mayweather's. Mayweather boxed to win the points and therefore the match, what he always does really.

@Kangaroo

In other words, Mayweather has always fought like an old man.

Pretty much. Although you can't really argue with the results of his boxing style, the defensive vs offensive style clash is repeated in just about any sport in the world.

Wasn't rigged. I've seen the fight in its full. Watched the Mayweather "hugs and clinches" and his "running around." Both of which have been massively over talked about. Why? Because everyone wanted Manny to win. There is a huge bias against Mayweather, understandably so. But watching the fight, Mayweather won. It was unanimous and clear that Floyd is the better boxer. I'd hope for a September rematch but I ain't paying any money to watch it because I know how Mayweather fights. For the casual fan it's boring. But for those who know boxing, it's damn beautiful.

@Dark Wind

Boxing beautiful .... now I understand why Mike Tyson wanted his money back. Eating your opponent is not beautiful ... as that tip of the ear was not beautiful when it got into the toilet.
