Re: Mayweather vs Pacquiao

Really bummed out about the fight. I was hoping Manny would be able to press more than he did, but Mayweather's defense was too good. I don't think there will be a re-match.

Excellent Defense and Strategy by the Moneyman!!! Just like a Rook chasing a Knight hoping to force to the corner of the board to be dominated on f3-c3-c6 and f6. A rematch??? No mas!!! Mayweather with Bayless as referee, Mayweather is unbeatable!!! I would prefer Pacquiao vs. Maidana with Tony Weeks as the referee if you are looking for the Royal Rumble!!!

Mayweather vs Pacquiao

Part of the Canadian Press description of the match:

LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. was money once again in the richest fight ever.

Mayweather used his reach and his jab Saturday night to frustrate Manny Pacquiao, piling up enough points to win a unanimous decision in their welterweight title bout. Mayweather remained unbeaten in 48 fights with a win that cemented his legacy as the best of his generation.

Pacquiao did what he wanted to do, chasing Mayweather around the ring most of the fight. But he was never able to land a sustained volume of punches, often looking frustrated as Mayweather worked his defensive wizardry once again.

Two ringside judges scored the fight 116-112, while the third had it 118-110. The Associated Press had Mayweather ahead 115-113.

The richest fight in boxing history -- a bout that made Mayweather at least $180 million -- wasn't the best. Far from it, with long periods where both fighters fought cautiously, looking for an edge.

There were no knockdowns, and neither fighter seemed terribly hurt at any time. Pacquiao landed probably the biggest punch in the fight in the fourth round -- a left hand that sent Mayweather into the ropes -- but he wasn't able to consistently land against the elusive champion.

The fight was a chess match, with Mayweather using his jab to keep Pacquiao away most of the fight. Pacquiao tried to force the action, but Mayweather was often out of his reach by the time he found his way inside.

Mayweather said that his fight in September against a yet-to-be-determined opponent would be his last before retirement.

Pacquiao and Mayweather should have played basketball instead to avoid boredom. Fans did not get the value for their money.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been stripped of his welterweight title after he allegedly failed to comply with World Boxing Organization (WBO) regulations. Mayweather, 38, secured the WBO welterweight title in May after scoring a unanimous victory over Manny Pacquiao in what was the richest fight in boxing history.

But the boxer had until last Friday to pay a $200,000 participation fee related to the bout, and release two junior middleweight titles he also holds. After Mayweather allegedly didn’t comply, the WBO said in a statement that it had “no other alternative but to cease to recognize Mr. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. as the WBO Welterweight Champion of the World and vacate his title. ”
