Leosille Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'm a massive boxing fan would just like to know what people thought about the fight last night? I was team Mayweather, to neutralise and dominate another great fighter goes to show what a master class Floyd is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Not that great a fight to be honest. My money was on Mayweather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I didnt see the fight but I thought the marketing guys did a great job of making something out of two blokes the wrong side of 35 and probably past their best having a fight just a few years too late...didnt sound an exceptionally exciting affair unless you are someone who appreciates the technical skills of defensive boxing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimboy2 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I didn't watch it, IMO boxing has had it's day. MMA is much more exciting to watch now. Those fighters leave everything in the cage. Boxing just seems to be all about marketing and money making. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really disappointed that isn't happening now 👎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Last one I watched was Haye vs Klitschko (or however its spelt) went to the pub, every waited for it, started late and was boring as hell. Used to love watching the Benn vs Eubank fights, Tyson, Lewis etc was super eventful and often lived up to the billing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) I like boxing but from what I've read I'm glad I didn't fork out £20 to watch this fight. Edited May 3, 2015 by sipar69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I was tempted, but I'm really glad I didn't cough up either now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Stayed up to watch, wasn't a great one by any stretch For the life of me I can't understand how Mayweather won by such a margin, he didn't go forward at all in the whole fight. I'm not saying that shouldn't be allowed, countering is effective but boring if that's ALL you do for 12 rounds. If two fighters did that for the whole fight, there just be two people stood at opposite ends of a ring with nothin' to do and no show for the fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Boring to watch. Not worth losing sleep over But credit to mayweather for not letting manny get going at all. Ducking and diving, not letting him get in close. Every time he did go forward he could barely touch him Still.... Wasn't as bad as Jamie foxx singing the national anthem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Just finished watching round 4, best so far Not impressed with Mayweather... Edited May 3, 2015 by octet@TORQEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Wholly wrong that both fighters did not get an equal share of the purse, particularly when you read how they spend it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Up to round 9 now, don't tell me Manny did not win this fight!!! It is just me or the whole thing was going as it was all pre-arranged that Mayweather is going to be the winner? Unofficial score cards, replay, the commentators etc Edited May 3, 2015 by octet@TORQEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unofficial score cards, replay, the commentators etc Adrian lool you've just got a few shots of Pacquiao landing lool 36 minutes and about 10 Clean shots. Mayweather schooled him and won convincingly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It wasnt tight really, I was hoping they would stand toe to toe and beat each other up but Mayweather figured out how to neutralise Manny and did it. I Had Mayweather ahead in 6, maybe 7 rounds, although he was less aggressive he was so in control of the fight it was ridiculous. Mayweather did what he needed to do and no more, which is a shame when you consider the size of the fight but it doesnt mean he didnt win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Just seen it. Really glad I didn't pay for that. Tactically great from Mayweather, but really not an interesting fight to watch for the neutral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimboy2 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) I can't believe in round 12 at 10 seconds left 1 punch was thrown. They should have both been going hell for leather trying to knock each other's head off. Instead floyd run away scared to loose his purse (like a girl) Edited May 3, 2015 by jimboy2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'd been looking forward to it all week. Went up to my brothers house, started drinking at about 5pm. Went into town, and at about 2am i was puking up from drinking too much. Passed out on the sofa shortly after and missed the fight. Regretting it today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
