MAYWEATHER VS ALVAREZ: LIVE STREAM

[V2DHeart]

regardless of the fact that he's a little whore and is to boxing like what Lil Wayne is to Hip Hop (as far as characteristics go) Mayweather deserved to win that fight. Based on a point system he had it. I don't know why people would consider it a draw 

[Shallow]

IN WHAT WAY? HARLEM GLOBTROTTERS WERE FLASHY AND EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH......I THINK THATS AS FAR OFF AS U CAN GET.

Well, he's not really the Globetrotters, because the Globetrotters were all offense. Floyd seems to be all defense. The Spurs isn't a good analogy either though. A Spurs comparison would be a very boring technical fighter with no flash who wins by decision. Floyd has too much attitude to be the Spurs.

But the main issue I have with the Spurs comparison is that even though it's no flash they still score baskets and win. What I saw from Floyd last saturday was a guy with no desire to score any baskets. What I mean is the hardest hit you can connect with in basketball is a 3 point shot,which is only 1 point higher than a regular basket. In boxing the hardest hit would be an uppercut or combo. An intent to harm is the key. The desire to destroy. If I want to see technical boxing I'll watch the Olympics or amateurs. I want to see a fight, and Floyd never gives one.

Wrong. They score points in boxing by subjectively deciding who won each round based on a 10 to 1 grade. There are few written rules on how a round is decided. The rule of thumb is the winner of a round wins 10-9, and if he scores a knock down the winner wins 10-8, 10-7 for two knock downs. But there is nothing from stopping a judge from rating it 7-4.

In basket ball, it's a basket or it's not. You don't get points for form. A 3 point shot is 3 points if made and zero if missed. If you set your feet perfectly, line up your elbow, and shoot with perfect grace, and miss, it's zero points. If you close your eyes and underhand the shot way up in the air and it comes down through the hoop it's 3 points.

In boxing there is no stat system saying he threw more punches and landed more punches there for he must win the round based on the higher connection percentage. And the power of a punch matters more than the technique. A knockdown is the only objective part of the score card. You have to award one less point if a guy is knocked down. You can throw 40 punches in a round, connect on all of them, and dodge 49 of the 50 punches by your opponent, but if the 50th punch is a knock down the round is a 9-9 draw. And if the punch is a knock out then the 100% connection percentage means nothing and you lose.

But often it comes down to a judge deciding who won, and if the judge decided tie then so be it. I easily would have scored that fight 108-108, and I wouldn't have regretted it one bit.

Sorry buddy. I believe the person who's been played would be you.

Manny and his camp offered Floyd the fight plenty of times. They offered him more money. And him never accepted.

I've laid out the "who he should be" fighting scenario already. At this moment, the Vets that can give him a run are passed their prime and the up and comers are still to young. That leaves on Pac-Man. But, Floyd has already put the nail in that coffin with this "The only way he's getting the fight with me is if he signs with Mayweather Promotions. He's got to give me fights with Mayweather Promotions. If he don't give me no fights under Mayweather Promotions, then he's not getting the fight."

Exactly.

[O.G A.Geesta'z]

im gonna be so pissed if Mayweather vs Khan happens..
Khan doesnt deserve it in my opinion hes been exposed too many times and needs to earn his spot at Floyd, maybe if he beats Alexander then his name will seem more vaild but until then he needs to keep his mouth shut

so whats next for Floyd?
i would like to see him against
Danny Garcia, Winner of Marquez/ Bradley (which wont happen cus of Top Rank) or maybe a clash of Pacman if he can get through Rios solidly

cj ross?

[Shallow]

Nope. CJ Ross was stupid enough to award a few 10s to each to each fighter in the fight. Neither would have gotten a ten on my card. One didn't have the skill and the other didn't have the heart. To get a ten you have to be able to hit the guy more often than you miss and at least one quarter of the hits have to actually hurt a little.

i get ur point



but if u think mayweather didnt win...ur wrong. duno what else 2 say.

I'm just saying I understand a draw. I also fully understand a judge awarding Mayweather all 12 rounds for a 120-108 card. But I also understand a 108-108 card. In my mind Canelo did not win a single round, so giving Alvarez a 10 on any round I would not. But I personally wouldn't have given a 10 to Mayweather either.

[O.G A.Geesta'z]

Coming from me the biggest and most respectable boxing fan Here if you thought it was a draw or how it could be a draw you don't know shit about boxing.... I thought it was closer then what people think but it was no draw

obvious negotiating tactic.  to blame the fight not happening squarely on mayweather's shoulders is just ignorance.

Thinking that wanting Manny to sign with him to agree to the fight is an "obvious negotiating tactic" takes ignorance to another level buddy.
