This was to funny not to post. But, for anyone that did actually see the fight. What did you think of it? The video above was posted before the fight and it kinda just goes to show that everyone KNEW how the fight would happen. Who were you rooting for? Was the fight worth paying for? Did you agree with the judges decisions? Thoughts?

Floyd hugged Manny more then my dad hugged me.

[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] God damn, haha. Oh that was beautiful. Keep them coming.

I have more but I'd get warned for them.

[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] Those are the best kind.

Didn't watch the fight, but from the aftermath it sounds like a lot of people watched their first-ever Mayweather fight and were expecting a heavyweight slugfest.

[member="Sabena Shai"] I think the fact that people who are familiar with boxing expected the fight to be the way that it was is the key problem here. Don't you agree?

There's nothing wrong with the expected outcome playing out in sports. It happens all the time in every sport.

People just got tricked that this was THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY when it involved two old guys with one of those boxers handpicking his competition.

[member="Sabena Shai"] My point was that I think boxing is in a sad state when the best boxer of our generation wins his matches by doing very little boxing but playing it defensively and waiting for the timer to ding down to 0.

Mayweather threw more punches, landed more clean hits, and did more damage. He just doesn't do it in the flashy, slugfest manner like one might see in a Rocky movie.

EDIT: Twitter has the stats.\

EDIT 2: And a gif of what little I've seen.

Standard Mayweather move. Pac misses, Mayweather counters and lands at least a hit.

If I was sat in a room with a tv and told that the only two channels I could watch were the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight or a documentary on the effects of erosion.... I'd choose the documentary on the effects of erosion. ​

[member="Sabena Shai"] The punches he threw did little damage when compared to Pacqiuaos. And the only reason his spastics were so high is due to the high amount of counter punches he did. I know there really isn't much we can say to justify it. He won, and he did do all the things you listed. This is why I think Boxing is going more and more out of fashion. Eventually UFC will completely replace it.
