BAMBOOZLED - The Fight of the Century?
By David Tyler, Doghouse Boxing (May 14, 2015)

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao
The Fight of the Century? The two best boxers in the sport? About six million PPV buys speaks volumes about how the fight was hyped to the extent that you HAD to purchase this event.

  • Disappointed with the fight….visit YouTube for the first Frazier/Ali fight and see if you notice any similarities. Granted, Pacman is no Joe Frazier but focus on Ali’s work in the ring.

  • It’s becoming very clear that 99.9% of the world loves Pacman and hates Mayweather. Ali/Frazier was split 50:50 but only blood relatives were rooting for Mayweather in the fight of the century.

  • Have you learned the difference between a boxer and a slugger? Boxing’s colorful history has shown that sluggers get all the publicity and boxers win the fights. Study the history of Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney.

  • I first viewed the fight on the Sunday after the fight via a British Stream. It was a rare treat to hear a fight being called by a true “blow by blow” announcer and occasional comments by the analyst. The Brits had over 30 European experts, including Carl Frosh and Amir Khan, score the fight. All had Mayweather winning by 117/111 or 118/110, no exceptions.

  • The British team sounded even better after listening to the combination of HBO/Showtime boxing teams. Just too much talk and not enough headspace for all these “so called” boxing experts. A total waste of time forcing the paying fans to listen to all the trash talk by the expert commentators.

  • The “bug eyed” Max Kellerman must have been smoking some powerful stuff to suggest that his hero, Pacman, should be absolved of any punishment for lying to the Nevada Athletic Commission. Is Pacman above the law? Seems that Kellerman thinks so….then again he may just be the messenger for HBO since he works for them and Pacman is their house fighter.

  • It’s becoming crystal clear that experts who never fought in the ring are useless. Give me Roy Jones Jr., Paulie Malignaggi, Carl Froch, and Barry McGuigan over any experts who haven’t felt the sting of a short right or the crunch of a good left hook.

  • Prediction: Pacman recovers from his excuse and goes on to knockout Marcos Maidana twice and Canelo Alvarez three times. And yes, he will be humble and say good things about these two fighters.

  • Speaking of Canelo….what a performance on HBO this past Saturday. James Kirkland was his opponent and he didn’t last long. For those of you who think that the Triple G has even a remote chance against this future Mexican Hall of Famer – don’t bet the farm on GGG.

  • By now team Canelo has discovered that the G has no defense and never moves his head. He will most certainly take loads of punishment from Canelo.

  • That would be a battle of chins, as in who has the best chin will win the fight.

  • Then again, maybe team Golovkin is throwing us the old bamboozle just to get a mega million payday for Team Golovkin….as in one and done if he takes on Canelo.

  • Golovkin fights this Saturday on the Max Kellerman network. Aren’t we so fortunate that Max invented boxing then blossomed into the Albert Einstein of the sport?
