OFFICIAL MAYWEATHER V. PACQUIAO FIGHT THREAD | MAY 2ND @ MGM GRAND | HBOxSHOWTIME PPV

Bunch of ******* ***** sore losers

 

[pacificnorsewst]

I think casualists to boxing misconstrue "rock em', sock em" boxing for the hype that Mayweather Promotions generates for Floyd Mayweather. Floyd has never been an in your face boxer, yet some people think that he's going to go out there like Tyson in his prime and KO a guy in the early rounds...lol


When you watch Floyd, it is defense, counters, jabs, separation, and holds on repeat till the end of the fight. You do not get Tyson, Foreman, Hopkins, Holyfield, etc. with this guy. You want to watch Floyd fight? Then be prepared for this strategy literally EVERY time. Because he is a master at it, and not a single pro boxer has been able to knock him off his game...and I'm not a Floyd fan, and I'm saying this.

It's beautiful, really.

 That sounds stupid as ****, but seriously. He's a craftsman. The definition of being a boxer vs. a puncher.

espn spittin' the "anti-inflammatory" angle

 

[AEA18]

How can you search these fights without knowing the names of the boxers involved?

Fair point, I'm not the one pushing casual fans aside, maybe 'boxing fan' should give suggestions

Gotta give those people what they want Rock'em Sock'em Robots!!!

Gatti vs Ward

Marquez vs Vazquez

Provodnikov vs Bradley

 

[mr marcus]

Been proven already any athlete of color that talks out of context is labeled a "thug" aka the new way white folks call em *******.

I'm out on thus b

#TMTALLDAY

They'll never understand man. Just leave it. It was BEAUTY watching such a big event be between two minorities.

Man **** that minority word..."minorities" saying the most racist **** about Floyd

 

[rook]

Floyd dominated man. Fight wasn't as exciting as I hope but the bar we were at made it dope. Seeing the faces of all the pac man fans was worth it

 

[$tacy]

I might be 100% mma

 

[Sir San Diego]

But I thought he thought he won though?

Now his shoulder was hurt? Take your latest L pleigh boi.

 

[htg designs]

There's only one way to beat Floyd

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Don't get frustrated

 

[gunna get it]

Oh now Pacquiao has a shoulder injury from training camp

But he listed no injuries durin pre fight check up.

ALSO, he got caught trying to take injections before the fight

This the same guy who deathly afraid of needles 6 years ago which led to the fight falling thru because of mayweather wanting blood testing. GET PACMAN ALL THE WAY THE **** OUTTA HERE

 

[rosegoldsluggs]

 
The Associated Press are saying Manny was injured coming into the fight... Ok 

 yea I'm hearing em talk about it on ESPN also lol

He had a shoulder injury and wasn't allowed to use a shot or sumn.... Yea ok

 

[District of Columbia]

Manny was happy to be there at the end of the day.

Dude was takin selfies walking to the ring 

 

[vtotheinay]

look at the excuses coming now. cant wait for filipino twitter to use this shoulder thing all week to say he wouldve won :x

 

[ray mulla]

Now pac was injured

 

[af1 1982]

Man **** that minority word..."minorities" saying the most racist **** about Floyd

Like I said man. Those are idiots on twitter. Even my own people. Just can't group that collectively

 

[dman14]

my casual boxing fans were asking me if floyd didnt have that "brand/tmt/etc" would he be making all that money off his boxing. he's undefeated but to the casual fans it's boring. it is pretty amazing that he has been able to make all that money off his skills/brand. isnt he the highest paid athlete in the world and it aint even close?

it's not like the 80s where you had guys fighting one another and putting on a show. you know what you are getting with floyd.

[bravo]

"I did my best but my best wasn't good enough"  then proceeds to chuckle.

[dmxfury]

Is that real? Legit sources?


Shoulder injury? C'mon now

 

[cubanref]

Floyd was clearly the better boxer tonight but this TBE stuff is ridiculous....I get and understand best of this generation but TBE...

 

[superblytrife]

 From what I saw, Mayweather threw more punches to keep/extend the distance between him and Pac and those punches were landing because Pac wanted to close that distance. Those were light punches so Pac ate those punches to get in close to do damage.

Now you're understanding boxing.  THIS IS PART OF WHAT BOXING IS.  

 

[...So]

Is that real? Legit sources?


Shoulder injury? C'mon now

I know right? Very convenient...
