[PacificBoy]

Jaime Foxx, is that you?

 

[Docker2.0]

Did anyone here have Manny winning? Evidently a lot of people think he did and I honestly have no idea what fight they watched because it wasn't the one last night. A co worker today was so pissed and said boxing is so corrupt because she thought Manny won. I thought she was kidding but the look in her eyes told me she was dead serious. There's even tons of articles about it on different sites but I have one below. Are people serious?!

I don't think he did near enough to win.

 

[Docker2.0]

I don't think the fight was close at all. I know one judge had Floyd winning by 4 rounds but I think that was being extremely generous. I gave Manny 3 rounds max and even then I think I'm being generous. I was actually stunned at how Floyd made Manny miss with the amount of punches Manny throws. I'm hoping they do a rematch but man..............I just don't see how people really thought Manny won it.

Amir Khan is saying Mayweather's team has contacted him about being Floyd's last opponent. Big issue though is that Khan will be going through Ramadan in September and couldn't do the fight until late this year or early next year.

[Fallen Angel]

Ramadan is next month.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Ramadan is next month.

Then I not exactly sure what he's talking about then, unless he's saying he doesn't believe he can do adequate training for the fight if he has to do a month of fasting in the middle of it.

No. At least they shouldn't be...

I gave Floyd 9 rounds to 3 scoring it as I watched it. 2 of those rounds were very close and could have been a draw. So yeah 4 rounds is the minimum I expected from the judges. Seems like they got it right between the 3 of them.

Khan should definitely take this Mayweather fight and then Pacquiao after he loses. 2 huge paydays before he goes back down to fighting the likes of Kell Brook (who might also beat him lol, that could be a good fight though). I actually think his style would be most effective against Mayweather but he'd need Mayweather to age another 15 years if he actually wanted to beat him. How much would a Mayweahter Khan fight make? Could be sold as Mayweather's last fight even if interest wasn't that high.

Yeah but a lot of people are saying they thought Manny won. If you believe Yahoo, you'd think most of the Philippines is on suicide watch. I don't know how they possibly have Manny winning this fight. I know he has the support of his people but still.

It's rubbish. I wanted Manny to win but you have to call what you see in front of you. Otherwise you look like an idiot when discussing it lol. The minimum margin could be 4 rounds but even then watching the fight as a whole there was no question who won.

 

[Lobo]

I'm a big Manny fan, but I give 3 rounds, four if I get fanboyish about it.

Khan could be a good final fight for Floyd. Though the next fights, I'll just read the results in the morning.

There is no doubt who won the fight whatsoever, there can be no case at all for Manny winning anymore than 3 or 4 rounds at the very most.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Jaime Foxx on the US anthem?

I don't know what was worse Foxx's or R Kelly's rendition? At least Foxx didn't have girls shaking their asses to the National Anthem like R Kelly did.


And why do they have to sing it like it's a love song or some R&B song? smdh, no other countries national anthem gets some silly spin to it, just sing the damn song like it was written. Quit butchering it.

If ever there was a picture to sum up that footage it would be this:



Like honestly, I like both Pacquiao & I like Mayweather as fighters, but Pacquiao lost the fight & he lost it convincingly. Anybody that says Pacquiao won or Floyd ran the whole fight, I'd instantly dismiss there opinion & not even over engage them on the subject because it's quite evident they don't know a thing about boxing.. nor do they have eyes.

I'm not even an expert on boxing or MMA, but I know how a fight works & how it's scored & there can be no case at all for Pacquiao winning. Skip Bayless is a dumbass.

 

[Lobo]

Skip is a sore loser, and out of his mind.

Haha it's a silly novelty to me. The national anthem is supposed to stay a bit grounded.
