Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0) remains undefeated after beating Manny Pacquiao in “the fight of the century.” The boxing match went to a decision, and Mayweather was crowned the victor as two judges scored it 116-112, and one other had it 118-110. It was Mayweather’s sixth straight victory by decision.
Many expected Pac Man to come out strong out of the gate with an aggressive gameplan, but that wasn’t the case. He employed a more cautious, passive approach, and that played right into Mayweather’s hands.
It made things quite easy for “Money May,’ who, at one point, was comfortable enough to taunt his opponent after easily handling a flurry of punches. He dropped his gloves a bit and said “Nope!” to get in Pacquiao’s head.
That’s just Mayweather’s style. He wins with ease and lets his opponents know it. Whether you like his style or not, the fact remains that he rarely gets hit. And, most importantly, it’s effective, so he wins.
