Seems team Pacquiao feel the same way. From what I'm reading he's saying he thought he won the fight (which is ridiculous, but he obviously hasn't reviewed the tape yet) - but then says he could have connected more if Floyd stood and traded. Surely him and his trainer weren't stupid enough to think that arguably the best defensive fighter of all time wouldn't use that defence.
It was up to Pacquiao to make this the fight he/Roach wanted it to be, but he just couldn't because, as it turns out, Mayweather is indeed on a different level. I can't see the winner being different if it happened 5 years ago. Pac possibly would have landed more, but he sure would have taken more power punches in the process.
It obviously wasn't a great fight (in terms of being competitive), and won't convince non boxing fans who watched it to stick around - but we didn't need it to be a great fight, we needed a conclusive result to settle the argument, and we got it! |
