Pac needs to make his move.
 
I'm partial to him, but still have him down.

You guys know that the decision here is that we will all be watching another fight between these two in six to eight months, right?  Its how boxing works...

Dan Rafael of ESPN has it 4-2 Manny with him winning the last 4 rounds in a row.
 
Looking at a bunch of places, he's practically on an island having Manny winning 2&3 both.  I'd toss him as an outlier at this point.

Pac seems to let him off the ropes or out of the corner too much.

I'll keep posting it just the same.  It's interesting to me.  He gave 7 to Mayweather.  So 4-3 and 68 -67 Manny on his card.

Nice ending for Pac, but I don't know what he waits until the last 20 seconds of the round.

I feel like Mayweathers fucking with us.
 
Since he gets a rematch if he loses, but Pacman doesn't, I wouldn't put it past Mayweather to fight for payday #2.
 
Because hes certainly not fighting to win this match. I know he likes to point, but he's not even trying to pick his spots.

Unless Pac has a bolt of lightning in his glove he's going to lose this.
 
He needs to take a risk.

This is how he fights. Defensive.
 
I mean, Pac is a fucking awesome fighter and Mayweather is beating him in a fight you think he's not trying to win.

Aren't most of the greats guilty of this? A few exceptions of course.

 Maybe because it's not that great a fight.  To beat the champ it has to be done decisively. That hasn't happened.

Not being snarky, but have you watched Mayweather before?
 
This is how he fights. It's like Sweetpea Whitaker fought.

A knockdown doesn't win this. Not even 2 of them. Needs a KO.
