RESULT**Floyd MayweatherManny Pacquiao **RESULT

[joe516]

Floyd Mayweather claimed a unanimous points verdict over Manny Pacquiao to win the richest fight in boxing history and maintain his perfect record.

Mayweather, unbeaten in 48 professional fights stretching back to 1996, retains his WBC and WBA welterweight titles and takes the WBO belt from Pacquiao.

The American was caught with the odd good shot, but was quicker throughout and always looked in control.

The judges scored the fight 118-110, 116-112, 116-112.

At a 16,000 sell-out MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas - where some spectators had paid as much as $350,000 for tickets on the resale market - Mayweather, 38, started much the better of the two fighters.

Mayweather bossed the early rounds before Filipino Pacquiao had success in the fourth with a couple of strong left hooks to the head

Yes it was a disappointing excuse for a boxing match to be honest I was expecting a draw so they have to have a rematch thus making more money for the sponsors and promotor and sly etc..was at times boring never had me on the edge of my seat..

I'm surprised anyone bothers with professional boxing nowadays, it's become a joke since the nonsense of several organisations offering ""World Titles" happened. It's got even less credibility than that glitzy wrestling shite.

I was a fan during the sixties and seventies when it was still a genuine sport. Couldn't give a toss nowadays. :zzz:

Got up extra early before work to watch it and have to say it was as I expected ,the only thing that surprised me was that it was even more one sided than I taught it would be,Mayweather never had to get out of 3rd gear and cruised to victory,was on social media sites and couldn't believe the amount of people that taught pac won the fight and a lot of unfair criticism of maywaether ,I cant stand the man myself and would of loved to see manny put him on his arse but he was way to sharp and never really in danger yes he danced around the ring and avoided close exchanges but that's his style he is a counter puncher and he gave a masterclass on how to do it,no way he was going to stand and brawl that would only play into mannys strengths no boxer with half a brain would give their opponent that advantage ,the fact manny has 20 more fights that mayweather and a lot more battles really showed in this fight,would like to see khan get a crack at mayweather as I think he would cause him a lot more trouble than manny did he may have a doggy chin but he has serious hand speed a decent punch and most importantly he has youth and fitness on his side.
