The party took place, with the Grand Arena crowded with VIPs and spectators happy finally to have witnessed a great show. But as always to take everything and ‘the usual Floyd Mayweather together to win it back home the three welterweight titles at stake (WBC, WBA and WBO) and Manny Pacquiao leaves only crumbs. Pitiless verdict of the judges who have seen only one boxer in the square: the three yellow (118-110, 116-112 and 116-112) did not even granted to Philippine military honors that instead he deserved for having led the match constantly attack. In the fourth and sixth round, opening the gap with his lethal left hook, Pacquiao has signed Mayweather on the ropes and could get something more if he persisted in action. But the American has miscalculated and, as had happened with De La Hoya, he continued to accumulate advantage about cards with his boxing remittance and those hooks in a sign that brought him points as the machines of Las Vegas. On his side at the end is the count of the blows brought both of those he scored for Pacquiao only one of powerful shots brought. A little ‘little, although we think the match was developed on a plan of substantial balance until the end. You can not ignore the fact that, whatever it is, and ‘was constantly Pacquiao to make the match, always on the attack is always at the center of the square. But in professional boxing count the blows hitting Mayweather and in this, thanks to its defensive tactics, it remains the number one. Curious then that the declarations close the ring you swapped a bit ‘parts. Mayweather paid tribute to Pacquiao: “The toughest opponent met in career, I won because I was more cunning and calculating, as always. Now I know why it remains one of the best boxers in circulation. He puts me in difficulty, especially in the clinches but I was always shiny and I knew I was in the lead. In September, I will follow my meeting number 49 and will close his career. ”

corner polemical – Pacquiao that ultimately he celebrated a winner between the roar of its people however did not accept the verdict: “I winning, honestly. I did everything I though it is not ‘been easy chase for the square. I hit him many times and his fists I was never hurt. Mayweather is not ‘powerful as my other rivals, such as Antonio Margarito. ” Even more angry Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach: “We won the match Pacquiao did it alone.”

HOW MANY VIP – E ‘was still a great match, worthy of the label’s match of the century saw the times grams of boxing. A ringside many sports personalities and film: among others Deenzell Washington, Robert De Niro, Matt Damon, Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Magic Johnson. But the list is endless, perhaps in sports have never seen so many stars together. The hard part will continue on this path because revenge is not provided and the two protagonists of today are at the terminus.



If the shoulder – Pacquiao revealed in a press conference that the recurrence of an old right shoulder pain she prompted him to ask for a postponement of the match at the Medical Commission of Nevada but then had arranged for easy care. The pain was rekindled in the third round and this could not insist on the fourth round when Mayweather was on the ropes. Mayweather has instead complimented him, convinced that together they still offered a great show. And ‘also moved thinking of the sacrifices made in the gym is not always recognized by the media ..
