Battle for Greatness/The Fight of the Century: MAYWEATHER-PACQUIAO

[grace.kelly]

Even if it's a style in boxing, Mayweather still gave a boring fight. Kung ganun lang lahat ng boxing, wag na lang. But I guess that is his way of keeping his title; doing nothing.

[princessrio]

got bored watching and it's not the fight of the century for me. i was waiting for punches to land pero waley. congrats to fmj. congrats also to manny.

"No big punches, only strategic moves" sabi nga

[red_yesha]

Natalo si Pacman kasi matalino maglaro si Mayweather. ganun lang kasimple, hindi puro lakas at galing. ohwell.
Medyo exaggerated lang yung "the FIGHT of the CENTURY" hehe.

[zelda]

^ exagg naman talaga.  I guess, that's one reason why people are pissed. Mas na-excite pa ako sa laban ni Holyfield & Lewis.

Natatawa lang ako sa ilang Pinoys, some of them have watched Floyd's prevoius fights so medyo aware na sila bakit parang nagulat pa sila kahapon? LOL

Anyway, Manny Pacquiao is still Manny - the most beloved boxer of Pinoys. I think matatagalan na  makapag-enjoy ulit ng boxing matches ang Pinas pag nagretiro na sya.

[tischarmedlife]

I agree. Wise lang din si Floyd and his tactic did work. He's not as powerful as Manny so he has to keep his distance, throw his jabs then move around. He has never and would never let himself be engaged in an exchange of punches kase hindi nga sya ganun kalakas na puncher. For me lang, sumobra ang clinching and ang ang elbows nya, my gahd!

Pero even if Manny lost the fight, the fact that he's once an eight-division champion can't be erased and that feat is hard to surpass. I dont think even Floyd can do that. Sana lang, mag-retire na sya and concentrate on his constituents. Sana din wag na sya tumakbong presidente please. 

[Beng01]

It was a good fight. For me Manny is the true winner.  Manny did his best, kaya lang itong si Mayweather ang mahilig tumakbo at yumakap kaya na play safe din sya.

[heartfortress]

Nakakalungkot na natalo si Manny pero mas maganda naman ang pinakita nya kesa kay Mayweather na puro takbo at clinching ang ginawa. Yes it's his strategy and it really worked pero ang panget lang na sa ganung strategy sya nanalo, imo lang naman. Para saken, dirty moves ang pagclinch ni Mayweather tas susuntok habang nakayakap kay Manny tsaka yung pag ipit ipit nya sa ulo ni Manny lol. Pacman pa rin ako!

[izabelle]

Congrats to both of them. Parehas silang magaling sa sarili nilang paraan.

I was able to watched previous fights of Floyd at yun talaga ang style nya. Bawat isa may sariling style para manalo. Regardless maganda man or hindi sa paningin ng nanonood as long as walang rule na nilalabag, wala akong nakikitang issue doon. Alam din naman  ng referee and judges ang tama sa mali na strategy.


Kanya kanyang strategy yan. So hindi na ako nagtaka na ganon kaboring ang laban kahapon. Which is also the main reason bakit hindi ako kumuha ng PPV kasi I have a feeling hindi din magiging ganon ka "action" yung fight.

OA lang masyado yung fight of the century kuno. Masyadong na hype. Ang dami tuloy disappointed. lol

[g3rl_23]

yes yes yun ang strategy nya....well......his strategy nya suck!!! big time!! 

really calling yourself greatest fighter tapos ang strategy mo eh tumakbo at umakap?? ah okey yun
na pala ang ibig sabihin ngayon ng greatest fighter. eh di wow!! 

im not really a fan ng boxing. sure minsan nakakapanuod ako sandali ng mga laban ni pacquiao, pero ngayon lang ako naging affected sa end result ng laban nya. i was sad because he gave his all sa laban na ito pero natalo pa din sya. while the other one gave only half of his effort, yes para sa akin hindi ko nakita na he gave his best as a fighter or as a boxer. kaya nalungkot talaga ako for manny.  wag na sana pang magkaruon ng part 2 etong laban na to.  sayang lang ang effort nya.

[Giri]

Tingin ko sa Pacquiao ang dapat nanalo. Or dapat draw. Masyado excessive iyung illegal tactics ni Floyd. Dapat binawasan ng points si Floyd. Kaya pala hindi nag sparring si Pac nang tatlong beses ay dahil may right shoulder injury siya. May sparring session din si Pac na kaliwa lang ang ginagamit niya. Naka apekto iyung injury sa galaw ni Pacquiao.

Pero dapat five years ago pa nangyari iyung laban nung kalakasan pa ni Pacquiao. Inantay ni Floyd na humina si Pacquiao.

[genelnar]

affected din ako dito.. ang sakin lang atleast wala siyang capability na mapatumba manlang si manny pacman ibig sabihin kaya talaga siya ni pacman at ganun katigas knowing na yung landed punch daw ni mayweather eh sobrang dami DAW.

sobrang oa din yung referee grabe habang niyayakap ni mayweather si pacman may kasamang ilang suntok yun tagiliran at halos baliin niya ang braso ni pacman..

hayhayhay pero ok din naman sports lang buti nalang si pacman sports lang din..

tsaka wow yung kinita nila ah.. ang laki din..

sana lang wag na lumaban si pacman ok na yun wala na naman siyang kelangan patunayan..


hahaha affected pa rin ako pasensya na..

Hype of the Century

It was my first time to watch a boxing match buti na lang may buffet so di naman masyado feel na lugi. Pero ang dami nagsisisi lalo na mga nagbayad ng PPV.

I was expecting na, you know, as in magsusuntukan talaga sila kasi "Fight" of the Century daw eh. But oh well, what a disappointment! No wonder I never bothered with boxing all these years.
Though may nakakatawang moment yung nacorner si Mayweather at sinusuntok lang siya ni Pacquiao tapos umiiling siya saying "No" and yet inulit ulit ni Pacquiao hahaha what the hell was that

[pandalicious]

Not a fan of boxing, pero syempre as pinoy,support pa rin. And i agree, the fight did not live up to the hype sabi kasi fight of the century,kaya nag-expect ako ng basagan talaga ng mukha, duguan, yung mala-pacquiao-marquez ba, kaso ayun yakapan pala ang laban. Mayweather may proclaim himself the greatest boxer, but he definitely got the most boring tactic to be great.

[lester0927]

this is the end of boxing. Boxing fans will divert to ufc. Kung takbuhan and point system lang pala ang labanan, i think yung mga athlete na super bilis tumakbo can be champions in boxing, takbo tira technique lang. Dati kasi aggressiveness ang favourable sa judges, nabago lang ito ngaun point system na, pag dumampi ang jab mo sa kalaban authomatic points yun. So jab jab lang den takbo ng mabilis as in super bilis yung tipong maghahabulan talaga kayo sa ring, magiging champion ka and anyone can beat money mukhang pera mayweather. Dont forget yung yakap na mahigpit and mabilis pag na corner na. Den pag inawat ng referee, takbo ka agad na super bilis but dont forget to jab before tumakbo. I think, this is the new era of boxing style na namulat sa katotohanan ang mga tao. Bitter lang ako kasi talo ako sa pustahan. lol 

[tischarmedlife]

^ talo din ako sa pustahan!  and yes, we all say goodbye to " boxing" kase di naman na boxing yung kay Mayweather. I read online na almost all Filipinos love Pacman but most Americans hate Floyd.  Sayang lang talaga na hindi sya lumaban nang sabayan, sobra tuloy lalo ang yabang nito sa katawan. Oh well. ..

[jelly_ace]

I was one of those na super excited and kabado sa fight of the century. Siyempre tagal ng inaabangan ng lahat ng tao yan. Gusto ko rin manalo si MP.

Pero true talaga it was an absolute bore fest. Not just because of Mayweather but si MP na rin. Yup given na ganun na talaga yung style ni Mayweather but I was expecting more from MP. Dapat alam nya na gawain ni Mayweather pero wala rin siya nagawa. Pinakain lang siya ng mga jabs and straight ni Mayweather. Since this was his biggest fight ever I was expecting more gigil from him like before. Konti ng mga suntok na nilabas tapos di pa tumatama. Ang galing talaga ng defense ni Floydie. Napag aralan nya na moves in Pacman.

By the way, I just watched the game again. Maybe may katotohanan na may injury siya sa right arm kasi puros left ang ginagamit nya tsaka di siya masyado nagja jab?

Tapos na ang laban. Napatunayan na kung sino ang mas magaling. Kawawa si Floydie kasi siya nga ang nanalo pero na boo naman siya. Si Manny still people's champ pero tarnish na ang record nya.

Wag na sana mag rematch. Wala na kailangan patunayan si Manny. Sana mag retire na siya.

Funny spoof the fight http://buzzflare.com/fight-of-the-century-spoof-goes-viral/#utm_sguid=62231,6b3e1b85-4ea7-7d54-e7bb-d6d486d83bea lol!

Though may nakakatawang moment yung nacorner si Mayweather at sinusuntok lang siya ni Pacquiao tapos umiiling siya saying "No" and yet inulit ulit ni Pacquiao hahaha what the hell was that

Sobrang natatawa rin kami dito, like what the h?! Lol!

I think, this is the new era of boxing style na namulat sa katotohanan ang mga tao. Bitter lang ako kasi talo ako sa pustahan. lol 

Don't worry hindi ka nag-iisa, almost everyone who watched the fight ganito na ang tingin sa boxing that's why people prefer ufc na lang. If Mayweather's tactic is what you call boxing, I would also prefer ufc. Mas-okay pa yung mga dating nakalaban ni pacman, bugbugan galore sila. Mayweather may have the title undefeated but he is obviously not the greatest fighter. and I don't care if Manny has defeated or ko in his record, when he fights, he gives a good one.

[kikaygirl5810]

only one boxer came to play boxing!

[Ms.Cacao70%]

one fighter and one dancer... and this is what they call "fight of the century"   masaya na ako nakita ko yung takot na muka ni mayweather habang unuupakan sya ni manny sa round 4 har har har!
