it wasn't just all mayweather's ~~tactics~~ either, manny just did not punch enough. that's my professional analysis. they should've punched more.

manny definitely needed volume. the perception of mayweather as a defensive boxer really worked in his favor, though he also outboxed manny

the interesting dynamic to explore with this fight is why mayweather and pacquiao were seen as equally american choices btw, contrast the general nationalism in boxing

even Dartmouth Boy, for all his punching down at black people, still knew that white people didn't treat Asians as One Of Theirs™ and talked about the glass ceiling, even though his only proposal was "scrap AA because it offends my just world sensibilities"

mayweather/paquiao upends a lot of common racial narratives in sports, from a stylistic perspective

You've got an asiatic feller renowned for his speed, punching power and elan, boxing a proud black man renowned for technical precision and cold discipline

not a lot of room for rambling about Fast Twitch Muscle Fibres in there

mayweather was clearly the better boxer, but the, like, five times manny actually pushed in, mayweather couldn't do much besides spinning out of there or grappling and waiting for the ref to pull them apart. i think manny got the couple of rounds where he did that as well. i guess maybe pacquiao wasn't really feeling rushing in with mayweather's right just waiting there for him, tho. but y'know, at some point you have to realise letting mayweather control the fight isn't working out for you either, so you might as well.

it kind of felt like neither fighter cared all that much about the result of the fight.
