Anyone else think they're muting Mayweather's cheers to build their pro-Pacquiao narrative?

You're probably just hearing the people who bet on the fight.

 

[Griss]

Manny landed a couple there for sure. This is much closer than I thought. Thought Floyd would have it all his own way.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Yes because boxing scores direct hits more so then hits that land on guards. Or late hits In the round which boxers do to usually try to steal the round

Being on the complete defensive should be a negative.

 

[RC]

Was hoping Pacman could connect more.

 

[Ether_Snake]

You guys with your tied scores, lol.

 

[Fantomex]

This is why I prefer my boxing in anime.

lol and soccer!

 

[Speevy]

I'm not watching the fight but I have it 11-1 Mayweather.

 

[jett]

Not sure what Pac can do here. He's gonna lose on points, and his punches ain't doing any damage.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

6-2 Floyd, Manny got no chance.

 

[Kill3r7]

5-3 Floyd. Although if you scored it as a tie it would not be shocking.

 

[zeioIIDX]

Daaaaayum, caught him off guard with that

 

[Kitschkraft]

I've got it 6-2 May, with Floyd winning that last round (Which was super close).

Entire fight has been relatively close, but I can't see Money not up by decision.

 

[M.W.]

So if I hug I get paid 180 million?

Hugs = money

Yep. That's what makes May smart.

 

[dream]

PBF is going to get robbed so badly.

 

[Zetta]

This is how all of Mayweather's fights go. Everyone is really hyped to see the fight but then its like they forgot how he fights. He is a defensive counter fighter and this is how he wins.

Edit: This fight though May added his inner hugger and is giving Manny some love.

 

[The Silver]

reading this thread and seeing so many people positive the other guy is winning i'm just going to assume none of you know what the fuck you're talking about.

 

[Laconic]

There won't be one. Mayweather probably wins by unanimous but close decision.

When it is all over with, and Mayweather is declared the winner, do you think they will...

...hug it out?

 

[Officerrob]

Honestly, manny has landed like two punches these last two rounds.

Yeah, ok...

 

[Ultra Numb]

"but Manny was more aggressive, why didn't he win! shit judges" - I expect that in magnitudes after all this.

 

[UrokeJoe]

Pac is bringing it.

 

[Fantomex]

Manny straight goin haymaker mode.

 

[LQX]

I can't believe this deuchebag is going to get paid $180 million for this.

What? He is really making that much? I though each was getting around 30 with FM a little more.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

don't know how you guys are saying May, hes been running since the first.

because turtling is winning

 

[Ultimadrago]

Mayweather be turtling and taking shots yet he's winning point wise?

It's exactly why a fighter of Floyd's caliber wins points-wise. Clear contact from his fists, clear avoids from his opponent's hits. A respectable defensive style.

by hugging?

Exactly.

 

[TheAbsolution]

I love how ESPN is just discussing the fight but they can't show it which is just hilarious to me

 

[Ronabo]

Mayweather is really trying to setup a big punch on a counter.

 

[Ambient80]

Holyfield seems to think Mayweather is in big trouble, according to ESPN tweets.

I barely watch boxing but reading just one or two previews of the fight would have totally prepared you for how it has gone. Both fighters are doing exactly what was expected of them.

by hugging?

Mayweather is famous for clinching.

 

[Sheroking]

reading this thread and seeing so many people positive the other guy is winning i'm just going to assume none of you know what the fuck you're talking about.

Some of these rounds are ambiguous, but it's not rocket science.

I think 5-3 or 4-4 based on your interpretation of Round 2.

 

[rokkerkory]

It's rigged guys, they are gonna make it a win to MP by decision so Floyd will do his last fight on contract and get his revenge!

 

[Alpha Centauri]

You guys with your tied scores, lol.

I admit, a couple of the rounds i scored for Pac could go either way. But it makes it seem like a better fight to me if its tied

It's also plausible though. Those rounds easily could go Pac.

 

[Kitschkraft]

PBF is going to get robbed so badly.

I don't think so...for all the shit they get, judged usually rate effective punching highly.

Jesus, you've got to stop.

Edit: I'm too drunk to realize this is your round scoring...

 

[Phat Michael]

What's a blog blackout? Are people not allowed to report from the event? What the hell.

Play by plays are fine - live streams are of course, illegal. Every boxing website/MMA website has play by plays anyway.

While nice it doesn't make a winner in a fight, just a winner on points. People will be angry if Pacquio loses to points due to this because lack of fighting = winning in a fighting.

 

[Ahasverus]

I've never watched Box before, this is nowhere Punch-Out hahaha but it's cool, go black guy.

 

[slightconfuse]

Floyd pulling away

 

[Ether_Snake]

It's always the same, people watch boxing for the first time to see Floyd lose, then complain about how the sport works.

 

[Kill3r7]

Getting closer to the point of no return. MP will have to go all out (maybe KO) in the next couple of rounds if he plans to win this fight.

 

[NinjaBoyLao]

From reddit:

Floyd you are suppose to fight your opponent and hug your wife.

 

[RoKKeR]

6-3 May, though Pac had a good charge at the end there.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Floyd winning this.

 

[TheFatOne]

What a clinic by mayweather. Just dominating

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

fucking hugging cmon son

 

[Instro]

6-3 Mayweather.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

5-4 may
