Manny Pacquiao has been stewing on his loss to Floyd Mayweahter Jr. for the past 12 days, watching the fight over and over again to determine where he went wrong.
But after watching their May 2nd “Fight of the Century” repeatedly, the 36-year-old Filipino has come to the conclusion that he won the fight by a 7 rounds to 5 score.
Sadly, these thoughts weren’t shared by the three judges that scored the fight, nor many fans who paid lots of money to see the fight.
They overwhelmingly saw Pacquiao lose to Mayweather in a fight that was conclusive. However, many of Pacquiao’s fans have recently been watching the fight in slow motion and they’ve been counting the punch stats, and they feel that Pacquiao landed enough shots to win.
“I’ve seen the fight over and over and I feel that I won seven rounds to five for Mayweather,” Pacquiao said. “I respect their decision so it is time for me to move on.”
The judges scored the fight 116-112, 116-112 and 118-110. Personally, I’ve seen the fight several times, and no matter how many times I watch it, I can’t see Pacquiao doing any better than losing by a 118-110 score.
With Pacquiao unwilling to admit that he lost the fight, it very likely takes any interest out of a second fight taking place, because if Pacquiao thinks he won a fight as one-sided as his loss on May 2nd, it could be a sign that Pacquiao has a hard time accepting when he’s beaten.
