The Manny Pacquiao thread

Watching now. Who is the random bint doing the Mosley interview? They've clearly only picked her for her fantastic tats as she didn't even speak English well

Why won't he go down!

GAC · 8 May 2011 at 04:29

he's a weeble

No1newts · 8 May 2011 at 04:32

Great fight that last one!

Now for the main event

This sport is so dumb, MMA owns Boxing. Pac man is a fantastic boxer and I like what he does but this is ridiculous.

Meh.

Bed time.

F1 in 6 hours.

GAC · 8 May 2011 at 06:01

well mosley never wanted to fight it seems, just wanted that $25 million payout for turning up.

Angerer · 8 May 2011 at 08:19

I am surprised a lot by this fight, I was expecting a hell of a lot more then what Pacquaio produced it took a Mosley push to get him going and I agree with what GAC said above, Mosley didn't really look up for it either after he got knocked down in the 3rd.

Surprised the fight lasted the distance, I predicted a stopage inside four rounds.

Jorge Arce vrs Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr what a fight that was. These two deserve to be paid more then what those two above earned last night.

x2 - had paid day written all over it - Mosley not interested in fighting and hardly threw a punch.

You really do have MMA blinkers on, you make it sound as if MMA has never had a boring fight.

Just watching Arce vrs Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr - this is what boxing is about.

Johnnytoxic · 8 May 2011 at 10:31

Pacman for the first time I've seen him seemed flat footed.

Mosley is also WAY to friendly in fights, with Pac a friendly guy also it was a style clash.

Is this just a payday for Mosley?

After the Maywether fight it was obvious that it was just a payday for Mosley and rather unpredictably it seemed that way for the Pacman too, perhaps because he knew Mosley wasn't going to go all out.

MofoKilla · 8 May 2011 at 10:44

Just watched the fight very dissapointed apart from mannys knock down the fight was rather dull, Imo Maywheather would take pacman apart.

drunkenmaster · 8 May 2011 at 10:59

Grr, sky didn't tape it properly, stopped at 5am, which is great as that was about a minute before the fight kicked off, I assume all the other fights went really long?

Then I happened to spend about 25 mins flicking through the fight before, program stopped, back to normal tv and it was straight into the ruddy replay program but Mosley was just getting up from a knockdown so the fight was somewhat ruined

Doesn't sound like a great fight by all accounts, but have to DL it or wait for the much later replay to watch it now, but as per usual, while trying to find it online I bumped into the final result anyway.

sigma · 8 May 2011 at 11:01

It was just repeated on Sky I managed to catch it in the 10th round, was going to wait and watch it all but heard the commentators saying it had been crap so carried on watching it.

Yeah, I should kept watching but considering it was Mosley getting up in the third and them all excited I figured I'd be watching the Mosley getting finished within a round and having missed most of the fight................. do'h.

Mayweather will be rubbing his hands together after that.

SHowed that manny struggles against people who want to box and not bang. Mayweather would pick him apart and get a fairly easy points decision imo

I've thought this for a long time. I think Manny is the best man out there for knocking people out, but Mayweather isn't exactly easy to punch, never mind knock out.. Like I said earlier, Mayweather gives the fighters what they need to beat themselves, he doesn't often batter them himself.

LMAO, seriously beginning to think your either a troll, or all that fake standing and banging you do has affected the number of brain cells in your head.

both sports can be extremely boring or exciting, it depends on the fighters, especially when an mma fighter is content with dry humping his opponent every round, to grind out a decision.

/meathead on
"stand and bang"
/meat head off

LMAO

MMA is, for me, dull and tedious.

If I want to watch people grappling on the floor in a ruck I can take my pick of numerous city centres on a weekend.

Each to their own hd but when it comes to pure skill and discipline, some might say boxing owns MMA.
