The Boxing thread

Maybe if Pacquiao had a pair of tits then Mayweather would have hit him.

 

[Silva_Spell]

He's very effective but zzzz I'd rather watch Chelsea than Mayweather

Pretty much went as I expected. A younger faster Pacquiao would have made a better fight.

Mayweather is the only boxer in history who is more likely to pull a hamstring than get a head injury.

 

[Wio Gumflapdinand]

That fight was bent, sparring match of 12 rounds with fuck all landed. Opportunities to apply pressure but standing off smiling at each other, how Manni and his corner could think they were on top is bullshit. Just a agreed big final pay day, so well done to them for that. You wouldn't have guessed looking at either fighter at the end that they had just been involved in the "fight of the century"

The only consolation I have here is the young fella backed a decision for Mayweather so he won't be tapping me for a few days. Total non fight feckin gutted I stayed up for it.

Golovkin should drop some kgs and give him a go, because he'd definitely accept such a fight right?

GGG has offered to drop weight off to do it. Doubt he could do it for September though. GGG the only one that I can think of that would clock him good and proper and take his shots.

That's why MMA pisses all over boxing.

Every day of the week, I've seen women's undercard bouts more exciting than that pish.

Fight of the century? People need to go watch Jones v Gustafson or Aldo v Mendes if they want to see a proper fight

PMSL

May weather on points at 4/5 is like printing money.

Pity I didn't get on

Lets not forget Jamie Foxx's singing though, best bit of the night. He will wake up in the morning cringing to fuck.

Didn't you need the free money then?

 

[Don Karleone]

i genuinely thought Manny won that. I obviously missed everything Mayweather did.

The real reason Mayweather has never fought outside of America non American judges may mark him down a tadge for not actually fighting

Mayweather will be world champion Olympic Gold Medallist world record holder and American Team Captain when he gets into Mantracker full time.

Mayweather's best move was taking the fight only after witnessing Manny's steady decline over the last 2-3 years.

The second best was selling it as the fight of the century.

The ring stuff was easy by comparison.

More like flight of the century.

Money put on a clinic there. Even if they fought 5 years ago the result would of been the same. The 2 men are aging but Money is by far the greatest of my generation. Its a art hit and not be hit back its what any young fighter should do watch Money that's how you fight a defensive fight hit on the counter and use your jab. A legend has beaten what's been put in front of him at ease tonight. I would love to see him fight Keith Thurman in his last fight or Kell Brook but I get the feeling it be Khan sadly. Sure no matter what he sitting on the top table with the elite fighters of all time.

Surely its about entertaining people as well? That was a dire fight and all Floyd did was ensure he won the fight with no thought to entertaining the millions of people who paid a lot of money. Yes he boxed well, but he didnt fight and his whole tactics were based on not fighting. For what was supposed to be the fight of the century it was a complete non event.

Winning is the only thing that matters in boxing. How you get there is not the issue. If people found Mayweather boring they wouldn't be paying thousands for tickets and pay per view! He is called Money for a reason.

He definitely went to the same mentality school as Mourinho though.

 

[taleofbluehalves]

Mayweather won at a canter. It may not be entertaining but he's immense defensively and dominates because of it.

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Sounds like a classic Mayweather fight.

Wins on points, bores the fuck out of everyone. Even Tyson said it was a shit fight.

Glad I never stayed up for it
