This sport is so ****ing boring to watch lol. I can't get over how Mayweather is allowed to just clench when he smells any hint of trouble. How this shit is so hyped is beyond me.

It was more exciting to watch a frozen stream than it was to watch it when it was working.

Disappointed. Manny spent half the rounds doing essentially nothing, waiting for a big shot against a guy who you can't get a big shot against. Good plan.

The thing thats hard for people to understand is that you are not penalized for running, and you are not rewarded for chasing or hitting someone's forearms. The only thing that counts is hitting the head and body, full stop, thats it. Nothing else matters.

I'm fine with Gayweather winning if it is VERY close. If they give it to him by a wide margin than they're nuts.

After looking at the punching stats Mayweather dominated Manny.

The experts generally have him by a lot

Sadly, this.

There's become too much boxing not to lose. That's what's killed the sport

Yeah, and to me, this match does not classify as a fight of the century. Too much moving/dancing around.

cosmo20002 05-02-2015 10:50 PM

Not even close

Yep. And that's how it ended up. Amazing that this shit makes money at all. I'll go back to ignoring the "sport" like I have for the last 10 years. Sadly, I was huge into boxing growing up... you know when it was worth watching.

there was never a question that Mayweather was going to win... the majority of the rounds Mayweather won... Mayweather is a champion.. i'm disappointing in Pac's attack.

There are better fights at the baseball field after 3rd period Social Studies in 5th grade.
