Kinda lame overall. I had hoped for more.
I think the difference was their understanding of what it was they wanted to do.
Floyd just wanted to win technically and get paid.
Manny wanted to actually box, which involves actually taking risks to knock the other guy out, to put on a show for the audience. His record shows his style of fighting is what the sport of boxing should actually be whereas Floyd couldn't give a flying f*** what anyone watching thinks.

I just saw the clip with Floyd clammed up and Manny wacking him 10 times like a fly swatter. Lol - is it boring because neither of these guys possess enough power to actually hurt the other with these gloves?
Don't watch another fly weight bout again or lose the padding.
