RIP Boxing if this is the best event they can produce. MMA is ripping boxing a new one when it comes to entertainment value.

I fell asleep in the first 2 fights. And the main event. Well yeh.

[plague]

pretty good fight tbh.
thought Manny went way better than expected, but in no way did he get close to winning the fight.
Floyd won the first few rounds easy and stepped it up a gear in the last 3 to continually score points.
did it pretty easy in the end.

easy pleased

Oh and Floyd was paying $1.55.
He wasn't the only one making bank today.

Yep.. Exactly..
I can't get excited for boxing after everything that UFC (and other MMA comps) have produced.. Particularly this overhyped horse-shit fight..
It's kinda like whacking off to some sort of hardcore pr0n and then having everyone to tell you to go crank it to a k-mart catalogue..
No thanks..

2.05 to win on points

easy money, as mayweather wasn't willing to knock him down.

was sour on the manny about the injury post fight.

And this. Not my cup of tea, cheers.

I prefer good quality boxing over the new pretenders.

Problem is this fight was overhyped, not a patch of the golden years from the late sixties into the mid 80's - big fights like this happened every couple of months. In Oz we had the Fenech years then into Kostya.....been tumbleweeds since.

golovkin/mayweather would be the one, but floyd will dodge it because he knows that GGG is the only bloke out there that will absolutely kill him

Golovkin is not human.

Also re:MMA.
Not my bag personally but people dis on Floyd for being defensive/technical but are happy to watch grappling and bouts get decided by a choke hold in the first 20sec.

There's good and bad examples in every sport.

Ain't no one complained about getting value for money when Kostya dropped Zab on his ass in the 2nd round back in the day.

Issue is these blokes don't fight these days
1 fight a year or 3 fights every 2 years for the so called elite

Then they see a rival they ain't interested in putting their rep on the line until it doesn't matter. This fight needed to happen 5-6 years ago not when both are in the twilight of their careers.

[q-money]

tbh you'd like golovkin then, bloke is taking 3-4 fights a year, just loves to fight really
