Really? It looks like just about every Mayweather fight. Mayweather is a skilled but cautious fighter. He gets the lead and sits on it. He's not going to take chances so his fights are not very exciting and usually closer than the skill difference would suggest.

This would have been a great match-up five years ago but Pacquiao doesn't have enough left in the tank to seriously challenge Mayweather. If there is a rematch, it is because there don't appear to be another lucrative match out there and unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be anyone to knock Mayweather off his perch.

Pacquiao is the younger man by two years. So you say he doesn’t have much left in the tank...... To me Mayweather shows his age while Manny does not

There will be a rematch that Pacquiao will be designed to win. Then a third bout that will be up for grabs. The tremendous betting public in Asia demands this same as they are the major clonish buyers of Apple watches

Spot on analysis. Five years ago Manny probably would have overwhelmed Mayweather defense. Last night he looked frustrated, and slightly winded. He really didn’t bring any of his trademark techniques like off-angle attacks and aggressive flurries. I wouldn’t pay for a rematch.
