HA HA HA!

It's funny hearing obvious novice to boxing complain that Mayweather ran for 12 rounds! How can you run for twelve rounds and still have higher output with more power jabs and power punches. Especially against a fighter who suppose to be a high volume striker. It is called boxing not brawling! The object is to hit your opponent while not getting hit. Floyd is boxer, so he boxes. Manny is brawler which explains why he gets knocked out sometime. Simple fact of the matter is........Manny was schooled like so many others.

An OK brawler will almost always lose to a boxer in a boxing match. And last weekend, a brawler fought and lost to one of the best defensive counterpunches of all time. It would have been the same 5 years ago! Every knowledgeable person in the business knew Manny was going to lose and publicly stated the fact. The only people who supported Manny were people who simply don't like Floyd including boxers that Floyd beat and embarrassed. Floyd knows this and it is the reason why he gets big pay per view numbers because people pay hoping to see him lose. It would have been foolish for anyone to believe that Floyd would go against a celebrated opponent and not use his defensive counterpunching skills. The same skills that has made him the highest paid boxer ever and an undefeated professional boxer for 19+ years! He trains for every fight like he is still broke. He did what he was suppose to do that night. He came prepared and fought his gameplan!

The fault is all on Manny and his team! They're the ones who tricked the media into believing he was going to knock Floyd out. They were the one telling the media that they figured out the Mayweather puzzle, Floyd was getting slow, Floyd can't handle southpaws, and GOD was on Manny's side. Manny was never prepared for Floyd's speed, accuracy or intelligence. If you watch carefully Manny started gassing out after the sixth round! LOL!

No matter how you look at this situation after the fight, it makes Manny and his team look bad. If he was really hurt then it seems he was only after a payday! His handlers have been in the biz for decades. They know how the injury procedures work. If he is lying then it appears he is a sore loser making excuses. Honestly, he should have just said it was God's plan or something and then just walked away!

Tyson was right. "Dud of the century" not fight of the century. No swaeat tho- the hype will continue. Words exchanged between Manny & Mayweather. Next, heated taunts etc. Finally, the rematch.

Boxing fans should get used to that, if they're not already.

Can't sue. Vegas, Manny, Mayweather, PPV, sharks, bookies . . . Have made their bucK$. Case dismissed-

How about suing Floyd Mayweather Jr for running, pushing and hugging for 12 rounds?

I believe the law suit will be dismissed or unsuccessful because there's no evidence about how severe the injury was. I'm sure the Manny didn't take MRI scan for injury because it was top secrete for the camp. The defense lawyer can be argued the Rotator cuff tear was during the fight and cause by Mayweather pulling Manny right hand. I have had Rotator cuff tear on my right shoulder. It was really painful and I can’t use properly my hand for many months. The injury was treated with Physiotherapy and painkiller drug. I don’t think Manny has severe injury on his right shoulder just before fight but the injury can be gradually worst during the fight. His shoulder injury has been healed in some degree on that night because the injury was happened 2 weeks before the fight. Also Manny has used his right hand without trouble. So the law suit won’t be successful. The Pathologist can prove Manny injury wasn’t server to postpone the fight.

Mayweather is good just boring. I though Manny was gonna pull a No Mas like Duran did. Fights regarded as mega fights should be exciting.
