After taking the time to consider what I watched last night, I've come to the conclusion that it was most overrated and over-hyped sporting I've ever seen. Given the amount of publicity it received and the money it brought in, I've never seen a worse even put on a pedestal like that. With that being said, it's not the biggest letdown I've ever encountered because I expected the fight to suck. It was always going to suck because Mayweather fights always do. Only stupid people pay money to watch him and consider him a good fighter. He's a good defender, terrible fighter. A good fighter would actually inflict damage and as you saw, he inflicted none. His 148 punches landed did as much damage as giving Manny 180 strokes. Would I really win a fight by tickling another guy more than he was able to tickle me because I was able to get my hands on him more and then I proceed to run away because I got more tickles in? Mayweather just got paid a hundred million dollars to tickle Manny. Manny threw almost 500 punches, had 0 cosmetic damage done to him and wasn't even out of breath during his interview. But Mayweather somehow won a fight... a fight that inflicted zero damage. Let's be honest, boxing isn't fighting when talking about Mayweather-esque "fights". If it were, Manny would have won for controlling the ring as Mayweather just dodged from corner to corner of the ring. If you used a circle(like in wrestling) in the ring that didn't cover the corners and you were punished for being backed out of the circle(to avoid fighting and or getting pummeled), Mayweather would lose in some of the most lopsided fights ever. But yeah... this is probably the worst thing I've ever seen given the hype. I'd rather watch a replay of JDS/Caine's 60 second fox fight on repeat for the same length as the fight last night took. I really hope this is the end of boxing, what a rubbish sport. Their best "fighter" of all-time(winning percentage) is praised and paid to avoid fighting for 12 rounds. Maybe now that the cult followers of boxing are the only ones remaining(similar to scientology) as everyone runs for the hills, maybe boxing will evolve and actually start scheduling fights themselves. Even the league is run by a bunch of meat heads who are too stupid to run a legit league that functions correctly. Why get involved with scheduling fights when Mayweather can just wait til the best fighters are 40 years old before he fights them. Same thing... it's always a proud day when a son beats his washed up dad because father time has taken it's toll. Mayweather is just as proud whether he wins by knock out or wins by decision, whether he wins against the best or beats up on a nobody, beats someone in their prime or beats a geezer. He thinks 48-0 speaks for itself as if every 1 of that 48 doesn't have a name attached it. 3/4 of the names are garbage and the other 1/4 was washed up by the time he got around to them. And by getting around to them, I mean intentionally picking fights he could win to bolster his misleading record. Mayweather has never will never challenge himself to fighting the best in their prime.
If Mayweather wants a real fight, he should train for a year and fight Couture. 51 year old Coutuer wouldn't even need one 5 minute round to knock Mayweather out and wouldn't need more than a minute to submit Mayweather and break his arm, leg and or neck. Any of his choosing really as Mayweather would be made his b****. Hell, Mayweather wouldn't make it out of the 1st round against an MMA fighter who was just signed on for their first UFC fight. What would Mayweather do? He doesn't have the power to knock them out in a fight and throwing punches is the only fighting Mayweather knows. In otherwords, Mayweather isn't even a real fighter as his only form of fighting inflicts little to no damage and he's always on defense. It's pathetic. Calling him a fighter is a misrepresentation of the definition of fighting. Boxing clearly has created it's own definition as they reward their boxers(not fighters) for avoiding getting hit even if they inflict no damage in return. Damage doesn't matter, contact does. Even if the contact is stroking, good enough for the judges/boxing because contact was made. Your champion... some guy who touched another guy.
Yep... he sure looks and act like someone who just lost a fight. The only mark on his face looks like blemishes I get on my face for having bad skin. This is what it looks like after a fight has been lost...

That's what the outcome of losing a fight looks like. Not some guy giving an interview with zero marks on his face, having this to say about his opponent, "he didn't even do anything". When you lose a fight, you know what the opponent did. It's obvious as you're bleeding and or have a concussion and don't know where the f you're at. Manny could put a little bit of foundation on that blemish and go do one of his modeling photoshoots tomorrow if he wanted without anybody noticing he just "lost a fight". Last night I watched a boxing match(a bad one at that), I in no way watched a fight. After Mayweather's career and seeing how he obtained his undefeated record, I'll never refer to boxing as fighting again. Nobody should. The lone undefeated boxer isn't even a good fighter in comparison to some of the people he "fights"(boxes). Yet, he's undefeated. Only in boxing would this guy be undefeated. He'd never be undefeated in fighting.
