Very disappointed in the fight overall
Not cuz of the decision but it was just overhyped
There were more fights that were more exciting from both fighters careers
I'm Filipino and go for pacquiao
But I can admit that he lost against mayweather
I think the scoring for the most part was right except the guy that scored it 118-110
I thought it was more 116-112 (I'm just a casual fan so it's just my opinion)
I predicted before that mayweather would win because of he's length, speed and athleticism
Mannys shots didn't seem to do much damage except in the 4th
He was more aggressive than mayweather but I'm surprised that mayweather attempted more punches in the stats
I'm not surprised that mayweather was more accurate in punches
Also I was kind of annoyed that whenever pacquiao went up close and had mayweather, mayweather either hugged him or ran away instead of countering straight up
These are pretty much my thoughts, especially the bolded. I came out expecting Mayweather to win due to his style, but he was a little shaky in his tactics. I expected Mayweather to outlast and Manny to gain a advantage. Kind of like the Celtics-Cavs series, where the less-favored get a quick advantage and see if they can lose it slowly enough that they have an edge in the final seconds.
However, just as Manny backed Mayweather into the corner and was getting some combos off, Mayweather hugged him. I can see doing the rope-a-dope and waiting for Pacquiao to lose energy. I can even see running away and dodging punches. However, no one can do anything to convince me that
hugging someone is the honorable way to win a fight. It took the momentum right out of the fight when it looked like it was about to get interesting, and it really ruined Pac-Man's possible advantage. Maybe some call it good strategy, but I consider it, to quote Kevin Love, "Bush League."
