When a white man starts talking about black people in America, It never ends well, Also what was he trying to do with the Jay-Z album. That bit totally bombed aswell. Worst showing yet from McGregor, Just made a fool of himself

The May-Pac fight was one of the most dire fights I have seen in pro boxing between two ATG fighters... Can you imagine waking up Sunday, August 27 and saying to yourself that you enjoyed the action and the fight more than the May-Pac fight?

walshb wrote: » That's true, but Mayweather didn't get close either... I challenge anyone to show me Mayweather's clean crisp landed shots on Manny... There were none. It was a dismal offensive Mayweather display... Mayweather won because he didn't win. Won because he avoided getting hit a lot of the time.... Of course, only Mayweather gets credit and points for not getting hit. Forget that Manny barely got touched the whole fight!

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman wrote: » I agree Mayweather didnt land many clean but he landed more than Manny. Mayweather won the fight but it wasnt what we all hoped for, mostly in my mind anyway because of Manny's injury.

I want to believe he has a chance... my brain just won't allow me to get my hopes up!! And I just can't bring myself to watch an Irishman getting his a$$ handed to him, by some cocky wife beating gangster yank!!
walshb wrote: » Well, the verdict was very much split. Many ex fighters thinking that Manny deserved it. Horrible fight. One redeeming factor for me was that had Manny not pushed/pressed the action then there would not have been any. And the fawning and pants wetting for Floyd beating a smaller Manny was ridiculous. Mayweather should really have stamped his superiority on Manny and showed his class. Instead he stank it out for 12 rds in a dismal offensive display. It was one of Manny's easiest fights in terms of damage received. He received now.

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman wrote: » Dance for me boy ... if he didn't understand it would be perceived as race related then just come out and say that , apologize and move on.
The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman wrote: » As I said, Americans would perceive that as racist. He should apologize.
Too Tough To Die wrote: » He shouldn't. But he should privately acknowledge and steer clear of it in future.
