Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: Replay tells another story
By Alfredo Flores: The big fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is over and while many were expecting a slug fest, others anticipated a competitive chess match. After hearing the score cards and watching the final punch count, results raised question marks.
Instead of buying into leg cramps, shots, sore hands and shoulder, etc., it would be best to watch the entire fight and score each round. Take a look, and I encourage any boxing fan, to do so. Also, please note Manny Pacquiao burst of flurry punches didn’t give him an edge in this fight.
