I watched. I agree with the guy that had it 117-111.

I think a lot of people picked Manny because they wanted him to win rather than objectively believing he would. I knew Manny had no chance (his best bet would have been to go all out for the knockout, from the beginning). Maybe 5 years ago it would have been different, but he’s lost his mojo while Mayweather is still good at his game.

Mayweather banned several reporters who had questioned him over beating his wife.

Exactly.

I wanted Manny to win, because as far as I’ve seen, he’s a Gentleman.

Since my father died in the mid-seventies and I’ve watched what has happened to boxing, I’ve known that my Dad is spinning in his grave.

Boxing was once a Gentleman’s Sport...and my father was boxing during that time. He would have abhorred the public and private behavior of so many boxers today; and all of the ‘showmanship’; (not to mention ear-biting, bragging...&c)
