Celtic top at the boxing last night .

I actually do. Even though I hate the guy.

Last night wasn't a master class by any means IMO. At least not nearly as much as the commentators made out. He's put on plenty better performances than last night, which was a real stinker. He set out to negate and spoil and pot shot his way to victory and was successful. It was terrible to watch. I think some people are being slightly harsh on pacquiao's tactics, if you can't find someone then throwing flurry after flurry at the best counterpuncher in the sport would be reckless. He was just nullified in the middle of the ring and unfortunately flits was allowed to hold far too much when pacquiao did get closer.

Very disappointing night of boxing that I give floyd minimal credit for. He was up against a limited version of pacquiao that doesn't have the same chin, speed or stamina as 5 years ago. In a way I'm just glad the sport can move on from these two now.

 

Mayweather 48-0 now, barely broke a sweat last night. May have been "running" for most of the fight, but also landed more punches.

Can understand why people don't like Mayweather and don't enjoy watching him fight, but you surely must appreciate that he is one of the greatest boxers of all time and that a record of 48-0 is just insane

 

Like the Celtic fan!! 4 in a row here we go!!!

 

true would be good if they did fight again

 

Manny blaming an injury thought he had more class then that tbh

 

I just watched the fight.
,ffs,if it's bullshit it will come out,I believe he is telling the truth,he took the fight to mayweather,was the more aggressive fighter,bad looser no,I do not think he was blaming the injury,it just messed up his preparations,as he said.
Really enjoyed the fight

Khan v Mayweather?

 

At what point will people stop lining the pockets of this guy? I couldnt give a * if he had 20 more fights or none.....he is a snoozefest as a boxer and as a person.

 

It seem the shoulder injury was legit. Manny mention the injury 5 days before the fight and was rejected an injection.


"Pacquiao said he wanted to have an injection in the shoulder before the fight but the Nevada Athletic Commission refused.
Play media

Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, claimed he informed the Commission of the injury five days ago and defended the decision not to cancel the fight, the most lucrative in boxing history.

"Athletes always fight hurt and we felt the work that was done on the shoulder during training would enable him to use his right hand," said Arum.
Commission chairman Francisco Aguilar said he first knew about the injury two hours before the fight, when Pacquiao's camp requested a doctor sit in his corner, a request that was denied."

You're hurting ay :smiley-laughing002:

 

It doesn't excite me at all. Easy Floyd win a don't care how fast Khan is. A could see Floyd knocking him out.

 

* terrible fight, disappointed in Pacquiao's performance, troubled Floyd like once the entire fight.

Staying up till 6 in the morning for that *.

 

Pretty much the same for me wish I never got the fight.

 

Glad I never payed for that I'm not a boxing fan as such but that was * boring

 

Get that * Mayweather in with Matthysse see how much of a hard * he is

 

Was a really boring fight I thought, Pacquiao never turned up I expected him to be more ruthless and get tore in but apart from a wee flurry every couple of rounds he basically just followed Mayweather about the ring flinging single punches.

Mayweather it played into his hands allowing him to just jog away avoid being hit and hit back the odd time although never really looked like knocking Pacquiao out or putting any pressure on him.

A snoozefest in hindisght.
