Mayweather VS Pacquiao UPDATE

EarlVonTapia · 04-29-2015, 04:39 PM

Well, this is going to be huge. I'm just wondering people's thoughts on this fight.

For me, my heart wants Pacquiao to win, but I'm unsure if he can pull it off against Mayweather.

Oh, and here's HBO's special feature on the fight. Typical of HBO, it has amazing production value in it. It focuses a lot more on Manny, since he is their fighter (Showtime did a feature for Mayweather, but it is crap).

My heart is with Manny, but it will all depend on whether or not Mayweather will fight. Mayweather is superb at defense, maybe the best ever. If he just protects himself, scores a few decent shots on Manny, he will win. If he foolishly decides to stand up and fight, Manny will take him.

Back in the days...long ago...the toughest fights I ever had were with guys that wouldn't fight but had superb defenses. You just couldn't score points, but they only had to break out a few times and you were suddenly in trouble.

Regards!

I know little to nothing about boxing, but I sure hope Pacquiao beats the crap out of Mayweather. He is a despicable human being with how he treats the women in his life. Absolutely revolting. The fact that he expresses no remorse for it is even more sickening. To hell with him, and all men who think abusing a woman in front of her children is at all appropriate.

I voted for Manny, not only for his boxing skills but also for the good things he does for his people.

Pulling for Manny, bit I think that Mayweather is going to win.

Evidently there's 3rd guy called Draw in the fight.

Rupert · 04-29-2015, 08:26 PM

A draw is always a possibility, when another 100-200 million is in the cards. Although I would hate to see it end that way, it would beat a first round knockout.....also a possibility.

Anybody care to comment on the price of those tickets? You could buy a lot of camera gear with a ringside ticket!

Regards!

Wish this fight had happened 5 or 6 ago when they were both at their peak. Now I'm worried that it's gonna be two grumpy old men in the ring lol. I'm rooting for my kababayan, Pacman, and hope that a victory will somehow dissuade him from running for president of the Philippines...

I wish it was 40 years ago so Ali could have shut him up.

There should be a 4th called Who Cares?

I'm for Manny! I don't think it will be a "two grumpy old men" fight.

**todd** · 04-30-2015, 11:05 AM

I really want Manny to win but as Rupert said, Mayweather will just keep doing what he has always done that has got him to where he is... He'll keep playing his keep away all the way to the bank. And it will be boring.

Hard to believe that Manny could beat Mayweather. No sign that Floyd is slipping in the ring and he always trains hard, although he is a lousy excuse for a human being in real life.

I think there are definitely signs that Mayweather is slipping.

Here's a nice high-res gif of it:

If the round didn't end right at that moment, Mayweather would have been in trouble.

Of course, Pacquiao is not as fast as he used to be either.
