The Boxing thread

[Blueband Brother]

Clearly a Mayweather win. It was in many ways a clinic on how to score points and pick off the opponent. He has to be one of the best counter punchers and defensive fighters of all time and I rate him as one of the most skilled of all time.

Pacquiao is also a great fighter and much celebrated. Mayweather is not liked but anybody with a clear mind can at least appreciate his gifts as a boxer.

Great fight and an end to this saga. Maybe a rematch will ensue.

Hagler v Hearns was a great fight. Leonard V Duran was a great fight. This may have been a brilliant technical display by Mayweather, but it was far from a great fight.
More action in a game of chess.

People seem to forget what boxing is all about. Although there was no staggering about and knock outs, there was a lot of connections from both sides and alot of intelligence and tactics especially from Mayweather. It was a great fight in my opinion. A lot of skills was exhibited from both players out there.

Inevitable really, giving his reach advantage coupled with the best defence in boxing. Was like watching the Klitschkos.

How Mayweather rakes in so many viewers is mind boggling.

It really is. Sport is an entertainment business so how the dullest fighter ever to step into the ring pulls in so much money is a credit to his marketing team I guess.

Its boxing, not a pub brawl. Go watch UFC.

Bollocks, all the talent Mayweather has got and he usues it to box like he does. Nullifying boring boxer.

He is the Chelsea of boxing.

yep. parked the limo :)

Not my cup of tea but Mayweather is brilliantly effective at what he does.
Pity he's such a vile cnut.
Please no rematch, Manny is done and should retire.

Disgraceful interviewing from whoever was talking to Pacquiao.

Incredibly unprofessional.

It was fucking shite. I couldn't give a shit how technically brilliant it was. If I want to see tactics and intelligence I'll watch a game of chess.

There had to be controversy to muster up enough interest in the rematch.
