The Boxing Thread

I think bare knuckle gypsy boxing would be more your taste?

 

Was like watching chelsea. Manny was like barca-esque

 

I think you know that comment wasn't a serious one and I understand what you're saying, but I'll just never enjoy that kind of fighter, it's boring. Just my opinion. I respect Mayweathers skills, but I don't enjoy them.

 

Fair enough!

 

Fair enough and nobody is saying you have to, but at least you aren't denying that took serious skill.

 

Naw I've watched boxing since I was a wee boy. And mayweather was pussyfooting.

If that's how he boxes then fair play. But can it with the boxing masterclass *.

 

Naw that's some of the best counter attacking and defensive boxing I've ever seen.

 

He's boring as * to watch but it's super effective.

Still a * though.

 

Then you need to watch more boxing.

 

Manny wasn't fazed in the fight. Floyd was hurt multiple times. But was far from a masterclass fs Actually it was am average-boring fight, neither were superb but Manny was rotten.

Floyd deserved the win no doubt, but we both know why he waited so long to take this fight. And this is why he want get the respect he could've. People will always remember he dodged prime Pacquiao

 

I want to ask everyone, whether you respect his ability or not, does anyone enjoy watching Floyd Mayweather fight?

I mean truly enjoy, truly entertained, not just respectful/appreciative of skill.

 

Manny's punch output was so poor. I think he was badly advised by his corner. In saying that, that is probably Floyd's best performance in years. Looked fitter and stronger than he has previously.

Wish he'd get Justin Bieber to * though.

 

I think you need to watch it more if you came into this expecting a fight. The people who marketed this are geniuses, making it out as if it was the second coming of jesus being shown every five seconds on ssn reeling all the people who know * all about boxing in, when everyone knew it was going to be a typical may weather display.

 

I am, I love that kind of fighting just as much as brawling it's more of an art. Probably why the rumble in the jungle is my favourite fight.

 

Fair enough, if that's what you like. I tend to favour more offensive styles, In any sport.

 

Did you mean to say running?

 

Seen someone post this.


"Mayweather Won Clearly.......But The Sport Of Boxing Lost.
Manny fought an idiotic fight, I think he actually believed he was winning. I don't know what Freddie and he were thinking, no urgency whatsoever. I'm disgusted with him and Freddie. That being said Floyd's style is a cancer on the sport, no one likes him, no one is entertained by him and everyone who doesn't typically follow the sport that bought this PPV will be sickened and never buy a PPV again, because what they saw was classic Floyd Mayweather which is boring as s*** he's Pernell Whitaker with a loudmouth, and no one cared about Whitaker either. So gloat all you want, my guy lost and your guy won........but in the end Boxing is the biggest loser of them all."

 

I agree. It's always a pity when the best in any sport is negative.

 

Even though mayweather landed more punches.

 

Mayweather and his style ,along the pathetic excuse for a heavyweight division at present, are the reason that MMA will overtake boxing in the future as most popular combat sport. People paid quarter of a million for a ringside seat to that fight to see a boring as * fight. Dont get me wrong, Mayweather was fantastic at what he does, but what he does is the equivalent of parking the bus.

And Pac's tactics...Seriously who the * told him to fight like that? Completely played into Mayweather's hands. Where were the flurries, the punches in bunches that have epitomised Pacqiaou through the years.
