Just as I said it would be - not even close at all. Floyd was faster, sharper, smarter and on a completely different planet to Manny. He made it look like one of the easiest fights of his career.
In all fairness I was surprised at MW's speed, he beat Manny to the punch constantly, slipped out of the corner over and over and dodged and blocked almost everything Manny threw at him.
I feel as though it was what I feared: Manny was just happy for the payday, the ferocious and relentless Manny I wanted to see didn't show up, we saw glimpses of that storm but he just didn't seem to want it enough.
Anti-climatic? Not for me, it was a clinic, I don't like MW as a person but he may just be the greatest boxer I'll see in my lifetime.
I don't know why people try and take this kind of victory away from MW, he's not there to stand on the spot and take a pounding, staying on his toes and dodging flurries doesn't make him any less of a great fighter, it actually makes him a superb fighter. He actually controlled the ring and dictated the entire fight to get the win, if that's not being a superb fighter/boxer I don't know what is.
The fight wasn't boring at all to me, it was mesmerising.
Well done MW, haters gonna hate. |
