my two cents
As others have said, the fight went just about how I thought it would. However, there were some minor surprises. I was a little shocked when I heard Manny say he thought he had won. It's common in the sport for fighters to say such things during the post-fight-in-the-ring interviews, but I didn't expect it from Manny. That was a little disappointing. The judges came through with sound scoring. I wonder if he genuinely thought he won or not.
Also, what the heck was up with the entourages? Kimmel with Manny and the Burger King with Floyd. Promotion? Publicity? I know that Kimmel had joked about it with Manny, but c'mon. No wonder less and less people take the sport seriously.
Overall, I thought it was a nice, technical, fun to watch fight. Yet judging from my coworkers reactions, I don't think it is going to bring many new fans to the sport. Oh well.
