Just a bunch of purists being snobby saying dissenters don't know anything about boxing, black guys defending Maywather, racist guys saying things about black guys defending Mayweather, people saying boxing is dead, people calling Maywheather a tPoS and Manny a PoS.
Perfect combination of tRant, Poli Board, and music board rolled into one night.

Of course it was.
From what I knew of Mayweather, I figured the fight was going to be kind of boring. He's got a reputation as an elite defensive fighter. So he was going to dance and avoid contact and just collect points.

Boxing definitely took a hit from this, there's no denying that, man.

I just hope he bets a crap ton of money on Wisconsin like he did on Michigan. Other than that I would not him from Adam. We are hurting for talent and big name boxers.

That's what Mayweather does, in every fight. It's not a fun style to watch, but it's effective. It takes incredible discipline and skill to play defense like that for 12 rounds.
When I boxed, I was always the aggressor, and I landed a lot of punches, I also took a lot of punches. I went up against counter punchers, my game plan would be to frustrate them with the jab, and only the jab, until they became impatient and tried to score, then I'd open up like a motherfricker.
The problem for Manny was the height and reach advantage favored Mayweather, who throws brilliant jabs, and he couldn't get off.

I've always used boxing more for practical situations rather than the ring, so I like to counter punch -- but Mayweather has turned it into an entirely different art.
He was catching Manny later on with the three over and over again when the guy charged in toward the ropes.
I also agree that it can be boring, but it has utility and it's a way to win.
The UFC/MMA fixed this problem by making aggression part of scoring -- so whoever was more aggressive could take a round. It's a better way to score for more entertaining (I actually found this fight very entertaining) fights.

Oh, in a streetfight, I'm definitely a counter puncher. Most people aren't disciplined enough to "stick and move". They just throw a few punches hoping to connect, don't obey the first rule of boxing: "PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES", and have no idea how to react when they get hit.

At the same time. That girl might just kill one of them.
Anyone who actually believes this is fricking retarded. Seriously, IT'S THE DUMBEST frickING THING I'VE EVER HEARD.
Saw this on SI.com and thought of you. I know you still think she would not have a chance. But this shows she would not be a push over. I still think she would beat either of them in a MMA style fight.

Rousey is not merely the most dominant fighter in MMA, she’s the most dominant athlete in all of sports.

I paid a $30 cover at a local bar to watch the fight. Woke up hungover the next day and watched Mike Tyson knockout highlight videos to make myself feel better.
