Hey, I'm doing a poll because I'm just curious.
My feelings are 40/60: Some say Manny had won others think Mayweather had won. I watched the fight 3 times and my feelings is that Manny had won with his aggression, powerful punches and combination , although I also partially felt maybe Mayweather had won it with points but with a unimpressive and underwhelming victory. Although I still think Manny had won it slightly for me.
Mayweather
The reason I think Mayweather had won: He was controlling the fight, and possibly landed more punches. At least the judges and many who watched the match agrees. And maybe he really did evaded Pacquiao punches.
The reason I think he lose: He was hugging, head-locking Manny way too much, including making several dirty cheapshots. He should have had points deducted for that. Also he runned away way too much and clearly didn't want to go with toe-to-toe confrontation in most of the time. His tactic was like a point winning, hardly a fight. Many boxing world champion and viewers also agrees his tactic was boring, cowardly, undeserving.
Manny Pacquiao
I think Manny Pacquiao won: Because he was the aggressor, he landed more powerful punches, basically cornering him in all fours everywhere, more combination and more technical. I actually felt he landed more but I don't know if I'm correct. There's so many people who seems to agree he won including the undisputed world champion Evander Holyfield and other boxing champion.
The reason I think he lose: The stats showed he landed less and threw less punches than Mayweather according to the judges and is not just some him but some other boxing champion agrees too.
