Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao Part II

[stadus]

It’s understandable since Mayweather is setting the rules just to continue this rematch. Pacquiao is just agreeing to everything since he just want to take revenge using his raw strength remaining.

Mayweather will still dominate this match if the outcome will be decision. I doubt Pacquiao can chase Mayweather on all the rounds since he too already aged.

But I will take that 2.6 odds all day long for Manny.

Regardless of who tries to dictate the terms, the odds will probably still look like that because Mayweather has always been seen as the better overall fighter. If you go back to their prime, in May 2015 during their first fight, Mayweather was around 1.42, so this line isn’t really surprising. It’s basically a repeat of how the market viewed them before.

That said, I like the confidence you’re showing by backing Manny at those odds. If you believe the gap isn’t as wide anymore, then there’s value there. I’m with you on that angle.

On their prime, Mayweather just ducked and ran away all game long and just worked for the points. In a "fight" Manny would win without a doubt, boxing of course has rules and Mayweather works on those rules and he is the greatest ever when it comes to those rules.

This isn't a street fight, Mayweather would lose in a street fight to almost half of his opponents he faced in his life, he is a "boxer" in the sense that he utilized the rules of it very well. At this age? Manny has absolutely no chance at all, not even a single bit. It would require some lucky punch somewhere, otherwise Mayweather will get a very simple and very boring win.

These boxing matches are starting to become boring 😴 the last time I saw these two fight, Floyd Mayweather won because people claimed he defended better but Manny Pacquiao who landed more punches and looked like the better fighter could not land the win which made me to kind of dislike the sport but for the love of sport I will watch this one 🥊🥊

I'm as well fed up with the hype.When a good or strong fighter we all know suddenly underperforms during the fight,he appears to be the weak one.It outweighs the expected overall performance of the fighter and keeps our expectations unrealistic.As a longtime pacquiao fan,watching him underperform a professional fight is boring and disappointing.

Well both legendary in the world of boxing but it seems its jus an exibition match for both of them. For me seems its a comeback match for Manny we knew how the previous matches happen and its not favor to him even though its an exibition match its a pride and ego of the Filipino boxer and for me this could be a revenge time now for Manny well i dont think so will Floyd did the same thing because its not really an official match between these two. But upon interview of Manny is he want a real fight.

Its not the same boxing matches we watched and give an excitement like we used too before here in my country most of the people watches all of Manny's matches but now seems like its just a normal entertainment event.

It probably won’t happen, mainly because Mayweather is naturally bigger than Manny. Maybe if Mayweather comes in unprepared there’s a chance, but if he trains properly and stays in shape like Manny, then it’s hard to see that result changing. That’s just how I see it.

Is there any boxer that goes to the ring without preparations? I doubt. The thing is this, like they say, every boxer has a plan until they get punched in a critical area that distablizes them. BTW, you make it sound like Pacman is a midget or in a lower pound category. We've seen bigger boxers lose to their opponents. So, I don't see any issue with that.

Even if a lot of us don’t enjoy his defensive style, looking at his past fights, he’s always been very slick and disciplined.
You might not like how he fights, but it’s effective.

For me, it's not even about that he's defensive or something. It's about how he tries to steal points by hitting opponents when referees come to break fight. That's cheating. I know that judges let that slide most times. Maybe because it's Mayweather, the Mayweather effect or something.
