Wrestling OT/LC Thread: We'll Stop Talking About Star Wars Eventually - Page 180

Thats how he wins, and it is incredibly strategic, albeit boring as **** to watch. Hes basically a points whore who knows how to score them quick and then avoid them getting scored on him, and he just repeats that for 12 rounds. Protecting his undefeated streak rather than worrying about entertaining. I find it boring as hell and think boxing stinks, but it is "smart"

I was watching a British feed and the commentators were like, "He's really neutralizing Pacquiao." Oh, he was for sure. But it wasn't exciting to watch.

And people laugh at us wrestling fans?

On a side note, Twitter is really entertaining right now.

I don't want to hear stats. Eyes tell me Pacq won 7 rounds to Mayweather's 5. Mayweather trying to TALK his way to victory.

Skip Bayless always feels like some dude who ESPN permanently assigned to be a Bleacher Report parody.

That'd actually be probable if it didn't require ESPN having a shred of creativity.

Boxing is only good when it is somebody like a young Tyson or Foreman who just goes for the knockout every match.

I think that was the first boxing match I ever watched. Mayweather is extremely good, he looked like a perfect tactician, conserving energy while still doing enough to win the rounds.

This is refreshing to see. Reading posts all over the internet from people who have never seen a boxing match before has been so tilting. I don't like Floyd's personality at all but it's hard not to respect how well he controls fights. I didn't go in with the impression that it was going to be a slugfest so I actually enjoyed the fight.

The first UFC cards were insane. Basically no rules.

There may have been one or two more, but the only rules i remember from the first couple UFCs were no biting and no fishhooking. Other than that I think everything else was legal

Oh, I thought you meant not winning. Thought it was playful so I didn't care. I wouldn't think anybody here wishes illwill in my tourney journey on me.

Finished 7th for $567. Pretty good. Thought the shove was questionable but with 7.5 bets and having bb next, I thought shoving was best. Any thoughts?
