Mayweather vs. McGregor

I don't know a lot about Mayweather's fights, but from what I've read, he seems a lot like Georges St. Pierre. Very smart fighter who doesn't take many hits, and GSP uses the same lay and pray tactics to just out point his opponent and drain the clock. With GSP it's a very smart tactic, but it's boring as f**k to watch.

except GSP has been punched in the face A LOT

"He kept hugging me, I think he loves me"

and you end up looking this. GSP might be a more safe fighter, but his fights (and even the lay and pray fights) are still more physical and brutal than majority of boxing fights out today.

The funniest part is Pac said he was gonna be aggressive and get the inside on May and rough him up leading up to the fight. (Like everyone else says)

And then May out punches and lands more punches than Pac. Pac gave up the last 3 rounds, he got tired of bee lining straight into counters. He looked demoralized like most fighter do against May.

he only knows one way to fight, he makes no adjustments. pretty disappointing roach didnt prepare at all. manny has always been a brawler nothing more, put him in front of a tactician and watch him get exposed

So this shoulder injury thing is real, right? I mean, it would kind of make sense why manny wasn't attacking like he normally does.

He didn't mention it in his pre fight medical questionnaire so who knows. Smells fishy AF with him trying to take injections for an injury that may or may not exist. If they truly knew then people are going to b pissed for shelling out dough. Not very christian like lol.

Manny the commandment breaker Pacquiao

We should sue. Who's with me?

If his shoulder injury was really that bad, that he needed surgery and is out maybe a year...dude shoulda postponed the fight.

The fight was terrible, maybe this is why

so now the excuse is that manny's shoulder was injured? I thought it was taht Floyd was running too much?

Did he hurt it swinging at air or hitting shoulders and gloves?

most exciting part of the fight was seeing the Burger King.

So the new excuse is the shoulder injury, Pacquiaos team said they told the usada. NSC said they never knew anything about it until right before the fight. The USADA said Pacquiaos team asked about taking the shot but they never sent MRIs or doctor reports. So both NSC and USADA say Pacquiao might face perjury charges

I dont think its an excuse as much as an admission he knew he would not win at this point in his career. Old Manny at the top of his game would never sign up to fight knowing you would be ineffective. You would postpone and fight it a few months later. I think he wanted that $100 million. I also think he didnt expect them to deny his torodol shots, etc. that he used throughout the camp. It would have helped a little.

Bottom line - thats on Manny. He knew he wasnt 100% and he fought anyway after him and Roach guarenteed they would press and knock him down. He threw 400 less punches than normal and did not do what he said he would do. Horses**t move on his part.

Perjury? Because they were testifying in a court of law?
