You can't give him a chance to think, otherwise, you are screwed. If you have some good rounds and got exhausted about it, you will lose. There isn't any fighter that can have that kind of endurance and stamina during the whole fight. Oscar de la hoya was the only one that almost beat him. It was a split decision. |
That's what everyone was expecting from Pacquiao. Punch volume. 600+ punches thrown. Instead, Pac got out-thrown by a counter-puncher. You can see from the fight that Mayweather started out with a lot of respect for Pac's power but in the later rounds he wasn't even holding his gloves up. He knew that Pac couldn't catch him. Pac did nothing to earn the win. He didn't even try to fight out of the clinch.
Pacquiao looked so one-dimensional in this fight that it probably hurt his legacy more than it helped Mayweather's.
