Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
Pretty much what I expected, including the unanimous decision.
When you get two aging fighters in the ring, it's a lot easier to be the defensive guy than the aggressor guy, especially when the defensive guy has reach and size on his side.
I thought both guys gave it a good go, fought cleanly and with a minimum of clinching. Personally I enjoyed the fight, and agree with the decision.
Mayweather is on his peak right now. He has no more frontiers in front of him, other than maybe setting spending records in the strip clubs and at the exotic car dealerships around town. Pacquiao on the other hand has a good shot at being president of his country in a few years. I suspect he still has a few chapters to write.
