Pacman vs Money

MattyMatt · May 2, 2015

Gonna win about 5 units, or break even here because Pacman's not getting the decision even though I think he outworks Money in just about every round (even he does i'm still only down .20 units), and if Money Ko's Pacman, he's still not great, but I'm out 6 units...Let's roll. Good luck and enjoy the fight tonight!

Pacman +190....................................................................2 units

Pacman inside the distance +442...........................................1 unit

Mayweather by decision -102................................................3 units

Floyd is the better defensive fighter of the 2. That's the main difference between them.
Pac may still pull one out if he can penetrate Mayweather's evasiveness but I don't think he
will be as successful as he has been because Floyd has at least as good hand speed as he
does which is something Pacquiao has never been confronted with. Then again I don't think
Mayweather has seen the likes of Manny's hand speed either.

Floyd has faced guys with power, guys with hand speed, guys with foot speed, guys with accuracy, and guys who throw a lot of punches...What he hasn't faced is a guy who has all of those. Manny has all of those...

No harm, no foul. Works for me...Boring ass fight that was.

Defense, defense, defense... (reminded me of watching an SEC FB game)

Pacquiao walks away with the loss but $40,000,000 richer. Awwwww.
Not a beat down but a decisive win just the same for Floyd. I figured
Pac couldn't hit him and he didn't do much of it.

Far as I'm concerned, even though Mayweather is a creep, Manny showed a lack of class with his "I don't wanna make excuses, BUT, I was hurt" schtick. He wanted to take something illegal to combat it, something I suspect he has done many times before.

Lack of class for having surgery and going to be out 9-12 months. Got it!

more like a warrior mentality to me...

Warrior, no dice. He took the money and ran with it. He should have never EVER went on with the fight with the injury, then he wanted to mask it too.

I suspect also....no one gains that weight and goes from tiny to what he is today in all of these weight classes.

Congrats, you just described warrior mentality.

Should he have, probably not, but he trains like a warrior to overcome it...

No, Brainiac, the lack of class is not the surgery, it's alibing after losing. If you're hurt, don't fight, if you fight, don't make excuses-and, btw, he may face discipline for lying in filing out a questionnaire the day before the fight and saying that he was fine.

It is pretty weak him and Roach talked a big game before the fight and then after it is "Oh he was hurt" Nothing wrong with shedding light on an injury but the way they used it as an excuse wasn't a fan of, this isn't the first time they've gone that route either.

The way fighters usually talk before a fight is much different if they are hurt than the way they talked.

Agreed. Publicity stunt and money grab at its finest...
