Live fight thread

Apparently there's a fight on tonight and JBW needs a thread to talk to himself on.

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 4:54 am

The Burger King and Justin Bieber make for an interesting entourage. Don't like Floyd... But that's a proper entrance

The v2 board is buzzing just like the atmosphere ringside. Even buffer can't wake them up

Everyone there just bough tickets because they were told they would be spared the indignity of living with poor people for an evening. Some are not even aware that there may be some boxing afoot

10-9 Floyd he looks fookin sharp

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:03 am

Nothing round. but Floyd did his nothing a little cuter I guess?
10-9 FM

by milkyboy Sun 03 May 2015, 5:03 am

... If the first round is indicative, they may have a point

by mobilemaster8 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:06 am

10-9 Floyd

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:11 am

Reckon this is gonna be scored to personal preference. I smell controversy

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:12 am

10-9 Pacquiao

by mobilemaster8 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:14 am

10-9 Pacman

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:16 am

Have Paccy 3-1 up. Consensus, from people I follow on Twitter seems 2-2. Consensus from people watching a fight for the first time is "what the Frak why hadn't anyone been knocked out"

by mobilemaster8 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:18 am

10-9 floyd

by mobilemaster8 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:18 am

I've got Floyd winning 1,2,3,5 and manny winning 4

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:20 am

10-9 Pacquiao
so 4-1 for me. 3-2 consensus. What the Frak is happening? I paid $100 for this general viewpoint

by Silver Sun 03 May 2015, 5:20 am

3-2 Pac for me, Floyd with 1 & 3.

by mobilemaster8 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:22 am

10-9 manny

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:23 am

Hampo and who ever the Frak he's with have it 4-2. I have it 5-1, Mm8 has it a near shutout for Floyd . Rafael has it 4-2.

Yup, 10-9 Manny.

Honestly he's looking much better than Floyd right now. Mayweather not damaging at all, kinda looks like he's struggling to find his range - seems to be stepping back out too much. Manny will win if this keeps up.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 03 May 2015, 5:25 am

Mayweather is a cuddler. That's my input

by Silver Sun 03 May 2015, 5:25 am

Better round for Floyd, he's actually engaging now.

Did he just get warned by the ref, kingraf? I've got the sound off.

by mobilemaster8 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:26 am

10-10

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 03 May 2015, 5:28 am

Sadly I can't find a good stream for the Sky box office comms cos I find them brilliant.

My honest feeling is Mayweather shows more control overall but Pac's moments have been the more meaningful. Funny that Money is getting the last round as I think Pac again had more meaningful moments in it

by mobilemaster8 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:31 am

10-9 Floyd

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:33 am

I have it 5-3 Pacquiao.

by Silver Sun 03 May 2015, 5:34 am

kingraf wrote:I have it 5-3 Pacquiao.

Same here.

5-4 now.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 03 May 2015, 5:35 am

Also, hello. Surprised I'm the only interloper tonight.

by mobilemaster8 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:38 am

10-9 Pacman

by Silver Sun 03 May 2015, 5:39 am

5-5 on my card, even fight. All to play for, god knows what happens now.

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:40 am

6-4 Pacquiao.

There's an element of truth to the adage you can't score thrown punches that didn't land. But I can't give Floyd a round where he did nothing

by mobilemaster8 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:42 am

This is really one sided

Agreed, it's a really tough one. It really comes down to what you look to see in a fight, I guess. Such an interesting stylistic matchup.

Unless there's a TKO, the debate over the scoring of this one will rumble on forever Wink

Edit: Ehh, actually Manny did better work in the middle. Giving the round to him.

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:45 am

It's a little ridiculous, if Floyd throws four and lands nothing, he's controlling the fight. If Manny throws four and lands nothing, Floyd is giving a defensive masterclass

by BoxingFan88 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:46 am

Sky are ridiculous bunch of complete morons

by mobilemaster8 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:47 am

Well for me Floyd is one of the best ever. Period. Absolute master class

by Guest Sun 03 May 2015, 5:47 am

What a stinker, floyds by seven rounds at least

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 03 May 2015, 5:47 am

Seems to me like if Mayweather does one good thing it's amazing, but Pacquiao has to do 5 good things to get noticed. Bias or buying into the legend of Mayweather over the actual content.

by Silver Sun 03 May 2015, 5:47 am

So, cards lads? I've got 114-114, really helpful I know.

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:48 am

Manny 115-114

by BoxingFan88 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:48 am

Think Floyd by about 2 the whole sky team should be fired

by milkyboy Sun 03 May 2015, 5:49 am

Well I didn't see the masterclass jim and nick did. Looked like a slo motion version of the fight we should have seen 5 years ago. Mayweather's fight, but disappointing. Not that My expectations were high.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 03 May 2015, 5:50 am

I don't know enough but could there really be anything conclusive from this? All I know is Mayweather wins the "who id prefer to get hit by a bus"

by Stella Sun 03 May 2015, 5:50 am

Sounds like Mayweather has it? I'm only listening, btw, and not watching.

by Silver Sun 03 May 2015, 5:51 am

What the Frak, that 118-110 card is a disgrace. 116-112 I can see, but come on.

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:51 am

Lol.

Moving on

by **hampo17** Sun 03 May 2015, 5:53 am

Can't agree with 118-110, I had it 115-113. I know Owen who has been commentating with me had it similar for Pacquiao. Tight score either way, but not a shut out like so many seem to have had it.

by Brys Sun 03 May 2015, 5:53 am

Had it 116-112 to Mayweather, just couldn't see Pac winning that at all.

by kingraf Sun 03 May 2015, 5:54 am

116-112 could be fair. Gotta remember that in Mayweather fights, it's about not getting hit. Hitting would be great, but it's not compulsory.

Now we can focus on the real men of boxing again
