The fight of the century has come and gone. Mayweather has won, and maybe not in the fashion some say he should have. What are your thoughts on the decision?

I think he had a soul crushing reality check by the end of the first round. You could visibly see his confidence shaken. I wouldn't say he gave up, but I do think he realized fairly early on that it was not going to be a fight he could engage on his own terms.

Mayweather fought his style of boxing! While not glamorous as a punching out knockdown brawl many wanted to see, Mayweather fought the same way he has fought all 47 of his fights. Elusive, picking his shots, countering and holds on when you get in too close.

Pacman is the one who needed to change the game. Why would Pacman allow Mayweather to counter punch him off the ropes and not get inside and pound him? You can't blame Mayweather for wanted to enjoy his 180 Million without a brain damage, that's his style! I can blame Pacman for not showing up to fight, averaging 19 punches a round? If you paid the 100.00 and expected different, you may not understand boxing!
