Really disappointed in Manny right now. Blaming it all on a shoulder injury?
Meh...

This was one of the craziest slug fests of all time. Not the most technical fight but just a barn burner throw down
more entertaining than the whole "fight of the century".

Yeah. Money ducked and ducked for years until Manny was old and not as fierce. It was a good strategy.

Dude, they just put Rousey in a ring next to The Rock in front of 80k live and 1.4M world wide. I gotta think they're getting more out of that then the next 40 second snuff film she stars in on PPV.
And I don't agree with Brock. There's some draw in seeing an uber-athletic 300 pound man-beast tear around the ring and utterly demolish Frank Mir. It's not all post show.
He probably just wants a shot at a re match. Doubt Floyd will give it to him though, nor should he. Give Amir Khan a shot.

Him, Freddy Roach, and Bob Arum have been talking about the shoulder for 5 minutes now.

Pretty much any sport where you can be great without producing a "highlight" every time you step on the court/field, or in the ring/cage is victim of this.

That's why I specified "with power" because those things happen. I really feel like those are the key weightclasses to deliver the best of all worlds. I mean if I was just talking about wars in and of themselves then I'd suggest the lighter weightclasses because those guys can go 100% for all 12rnds but you're not really going to see knockouts there.

It is really sad that the mayority of fight fans don't understand what they are watching, whether it's mma, box or kickboxing.

Man, I was a big Wanderlei Silva fan back in the day. I think he fell off drastically from his prime, or maybe it was me. Anyways, that mean-looking motha' will always be one of my favorites.

Was just about to post this, thanks.
It's not about understanding it, it's about whether it's entertaining or not.

'man carcass in ring this morning, retired led-onworst to hit.
This fandom has paid Money. I agree with its new pace. The thoroughbreds are extended runners and the runners are full of hugs and when their gains tactically lean over, all the new fans will frown.
The accumulated salt from all their hype and hyperbole will foam up about their waists and all the Warriors and Millennials will look up and shout, "Entertain us!"
...and I'll look down and whisper, "lol casul."

Yeah he faded hard but that was his final fight and he won it by brutal KO so he his last fight was at least a legendary Wanderlei performance

no its not. the conference was going to happen regardless.
Only when the technical guy isn't the guy you dont hate with the passion of a thousand suns.
A lot of this rage has to do with the fact that Floyd is a jerkwad and a half. It was boring as fuck yes...but Pac also has a part to play in that too with his own passive moments and inability. Floyd wouldn't dance and dodge as much if dudes could actually catch him

Well the fight was entertaining, was really impressed by both of them, maybe you mean exciting.

Then you are not in the majority that found it boring. Exciting = entertaining. Nothing exciting about that fight. Being fleet footed isn't thrilling for a lot of people.
Mayweather several times put his chin out there taunting Pac to hit him. Pac got out boxed. Period.

Not watching post fight interviews but rather just following up through y'all posts.. wow manny really just needs to get over it. Why even put manny on the podium. Dudes been saying nonsense since the last bell. Now he's just doing nothing but shit on his good public image
edit now it seems i GOT to tune in. love me some live tv disasters

They'll find a way to turn this turd fest into a "trilogy" and further beat the dead horse.
