Gootecks vs Pacquiao Jr was the semi-main

And on FB/tumblr, not to be outdone by Pacmom

So many slips ruled as knockdowns. Algieri got robbed. LOL!

Pac’s mom going crazy nutbag mode in the ring followed by Pacquiao cracking jokes and calling out mayweather was the most entertaining thing i’ve seen tonight. The fight was kinda lame for me in general though…

I really don’t think Pacquiao shouldn’t be making jokes on Mayweather because i seriously doubt Pacquiao at this time can beat him.

Highlight of the fight for me. Oh the irony.

I feel bad for the people who paid PPV for this

This was just as bad as the undercards.

I can’t fault algeri for taking the payday, but this was the only option pacman’s camp had?

I think there was a time when Pac could have beaten Floyd, but not now. Floyd has gotten smarter with age, and he will just lat Pac throw wide punches and outbox him the entire match.

Honestly I would have thought of this fight as comparable to Duran/Leonard 1. I mean Roberto was nowhere near as refined as Leonard, but dude was beyond hungry which what made him hunt down Leonard the entire fight.

I still would like to see the fight though, just because.

Man, I was seriously debating laying some money on Algieri. Not because I knew who he was, but I just thought Pac was looking a lil ragged…but, damn. This was a sad fight, I’m not sure if Algieri is a complete bum, but he was definitely not ready.

I think so too. I think around 4-6 years ago, Manny could have beaten him. I think he would of fucked him up. I think Manny overloaded himself with many careers that his boxing skills is falling off the plate. I just don’t get how anybody can be a full fledged boxer & a congrassman at the same time.

Agree with most of you guys saying that Manny having too many BS extra curricular activities right now he won’t beat money. If he would’ve fought him now, he won’t stand a chance. Imagine he has to play basketball in the middle of his training against aligieri.

Honestly, if he had a good year to truly train against Floyd, it maybe could happen. I mean Roach is an amazing trainer, and I think he would be able to give Manny the tools needed to beat Floyd. Manny has the power, but he needs to be smarter. The tenacity is his strength and weakness at the same time. You can’t just run in on Floyd, that is like jumping in on Ryu while being played by Daigo.

I know Floyd is beatable, and I do believe Manny was the best one to show Floyd his first L, but too much time has passed, which was probably Floyd’s idea the whole time. Also I remember when Mosley rocked Floyd and make him take a knee, which has never happened.

I think what bothers me is why avoid a fight against someone who has been knocked out more than once and you have a flawless record. If Manny was as hungry as he once was then he would win, but I don’t see it. I would love to see Manny win, but Floyd has insane boxing iq.

all those knockdowns and manny wins by UD lol

chris got heart but no power manny didnt respect his hands at all damn

more lopsided than i thought it was gonna be but not surprised at the outcome

Boxer beats up gang of thugs after they harass his wife

That left looked reaaaaall clean.

Floyd “I dodged Manny my whole career” Mayweather. It doesnt even matter that he is unbeaten anymore, this will overshadow his entire career if he doesnt accept that battle now.

flash punches, OP

I’m thinking of buying a pair of these in 12 oz. size. Anybody got experience with these?

I’ve never used them. In practice, we mainly use 14oz. We either use Title or Everlast. out of the two I preferred the Everlast gloves, they felt better on my hands. I usually recommend getting 16 or 14 ounces, just because they are better for all around practicing. Plus it is rare for you to actually use 12’s in an actual match. But really I would just try em out.

There is nothing wrong with 12 oz bag gloves. I still have 2 pairs of old 12 ounce gloves by boes. That said, Ive never used that brand, these days our club uses Rival. They’re really nice!
12 ounce is a pretty standard bag gloves size, If anything people are moving heavier and if you’re gonna spar you can get a pair of 14/16 ouncers. The lighter the gloves usually the less padding but I always like the way 12 ounces feel vs 14. 14 is more the weight for sparring gloves.

I’ve been using these for yeaaars. They’re good. I’ve always been interested in Winning gloves so I guess it’s time I pull that trigger. BOOM!
