OT: Fight Night: Manny v. Money!

Submitted by gopoohgo on

Two undercards.  Main event probably at least 2 hours away.

Think Manny wins in a controversial split decision, setting up a bazillion dollar rematch.

You know there's a lot of pissed off people who spent tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands?) to watch that snooze fest.  If boxing wasn't already on death's doorstep before this, it is now.

You guys are sayin it was boring, and if I watched real boxing before I'd probably agree. But I didnt know what was goin on, I had a few drinks, and made a few friends so I thought it was some good shit.

in Manny's performance, although I certainly didn't think he would win. Novices are blasting Floyd for being boring, but I think that it was Pacquiao that was boring as he lacked his usual aggression (apparently had injured shoulder + he is old). Felt like Floyd was trying to get Manny to be aggressive so he could use his counter punches, but Manny was very selective about throwing flurries and didnt take the risks necessary to have any chance of breaking through Floyd's defenses. For Manny to win this fight he should have thrown a lot more punches than Floyd, but he ended up throwing less, very surprised by that.

This really shouldn't have surprised anyone. Mayweatger remains undefeated because he may be the best ever in not getting punched, and Manny had no ability to counter. Why people paid $woo for this and were annoyed with the outcome was the only surprise.

would likely be a really good fight. No way Floyd would agree to fight someone of Golovkin's ability at a higher weight though. Probably will be a Cotto rematch again, maybe a younger guy like Thurman gets a shot. I don't think Floyd is looking for any real challenge with his last fight.

For the weekend. Fight was free everywhere. Boring ass fight but predictable. All Manny had to do was nut up and attack. Floyd hasn't been able to knock anybody out for a while. No power.

That said, the bar full of mexicans thought it sucked too.

Was Mayweather going to come out any other way?  Did we expect him to square off and go punch for punch to see who's chin was stronger?  May not have been as entertaining as many wanted (or expected?), but we all should have known what was coming if he controlled the fight.
