Mayweather didn't lose the fight, but did he win it?

I understand Floyd won more rounds, but that seems like a dumb way to decide the champion. The 4th and 6th rounds for Manny were better than anything Mayweather put together IMO.

Seems disingenuous to score those rounds 10-9 as if they were just as close as the 8th and 9th rounds.

if the judges thought it was a 10-8 round, they would have scored it that way...

Boxing matches should continue until one of them gets knocked down.

Judges are stupid.

Who landed more punches? Do people know how scoring works?

Mayweather is nothing but a tactical boxer, that hugs and evades and racks up tacky points.

Floyd threw more punches, landed way more punches.

I'm aware of the current system. I'm also aware that Mayweather was dominant under that system.

MMy biggest complaint is that the 4th and the 6th were better than any of Mayweather's rounds.

My second complaint is that I just watched Manny walk off with a smile and a clean face, yet I'm supposed to believe he just "lost" a fight?

Holyfield just said that Pacquiao should have won.

But he can barely put sentences together, so.

This is why boxing sucks. FM dancing around landing minimal damage punches at a higher rate equals victory.

I would like to go back to London Prize Fighting Rules rather than Marquess of Queensbury.

Under LPF, the round ends when a man goes down.

More punches? More landed punches? More rounds?

Don't those seem like stupid ways to judge the winner of a fight? I'm sorry but I don't agree. How about the winner be the person who didn't get their arse beat?

I didn't see anything tonight that led me to believe there was a legitimate winner tonight.
