I prefer the UFC as well strictly because of the brutality... but I won't lie, I like watching Mayweather fight... I'd prefer watching Mayweather than say GSP fight... both are defensive fighters that normally go the distance for the win, but with Money at the very least you see some swift action and some nice jabs... with GSP it's just him laying on top of someone for 5 rounds. | ||

Watching him work is really impressive. yes, you may not want his personality but his work ethic and and boxing abilities are the most impressive ones. And he takes a great fighter straight to the school. That Canelo guy has some real talents but his talents was dispersed right in front of Mayweather. Now the only doubt about Mayweather are fighting Pac but I see Mayweather putting a boxing clinic out of Pac. | ||

And it's not Lyoto Machida's kind of backpedal boring either. It's kind of devastation in its own way. Who else could make his opponent looks like they want to sit at a corner and not want to fight with like 5 light punches a round? Look at that fight just now. Canelo was like WTF for more than half the fight and by the time he realized he had to move forward he already spent enough he gassed after 2 round of pushing it. | ||

Still laughing from the judge who gave that a draw. Would love to see him explain that over some tape of the fight. | ||

Despite this he put a good fight to mayweather and showed some of mayweathers flaws. First of, to start off with the mayweather, was grocely overhyped and overscored by the showtime commentators.The fight was much closer than the commentators made it out to be.This is a good contrast to what larry merchant used to do to floydie at hbo but still mayweather had at least 4 difficult rounds in the fight that could have been a draw so the 119 scorecards are good for toilet paper. Remember this was a low punch volume fight and in this type of situations the guy who manages to lead the agression and land heavier blows gets more credit from some judges and alvarez in many rounds landed heavy blows.He may have been some 10 punches behind floydie but he did land heavy blows which explain the judges a bit low scoring for mayweather.Also most of the fight alvarez was leading the agression. One thing to notice is that alvarez landed most of the body shots on floyd.It was too bad he didnt land them in a higher number but floyd could not avoid being hit to the body and that was a tactic many boxing experts thought was one of the few weaknesses to floyd.Pacqauio and other quicker fighters can exploit that weakness.Second when alvarez threw combinations at least one punch hit and floyd despite shoulder rolling and bobbing and weaving could not defend all the punches.Pacquaio which is a lot faster than alvarez and throws way more punches cold also take advantage. But in the end that was all canelo had in his favor.Hew lacked many important ingredients:punch volume,speed,body motion,footwork(he was eating way too many easy punches etc).He had the right idea on how to beat floyd but needed to work more on his defense.Also he failed to use his weight and superior reach(notice that many long ranged jabs and straight rights actually landed to the body of floyd). Floyd showed superb defense as always and even great footwork which he lacked in the mosley fight.Still he is a very poor puncher and could not hurt alvarez too much despite what the commentators were yelling.I scored the bout at 117 to something for floydie.He landed a bit mor ethna alvarez but many of the punches were a bit softer.But then again he was meeting a much bigger guy so maybe that is why he coukd not rock him. I would love to see a mathyesse-floyd.I like how mathyesse fights. As a general conclussion to the fight:canello really needs more technical elements to his style.He literally is a 3 trick poney while mayweather could introduce some offensive features for the fans. Btw if you are looking for brutality and savagery mayweather fights are the worst ones to atch.mayweather has built a reputation of not getting hit.If you want savagery check out fights such as delahoya mosley,pacquaio-marquez,coralles-castillo,gatti-ward,most of tysons early fights,most of george foremans early fights,chavez-taylor etc on youtube.there you can see big ko's and brutal boxing at its finest. | ||
