Yup, but understandably so. In the arena itself the crowd kept getting hyped when Manny did exactly that....but it is so hard to see the details at that speed and at that distance. Thats why the judges are practically leaning into the ring every 5 seconds.
The camera coverage doesn't help either, the details of where the punches actually land is pretty difficult to make out at times.

In other news...Pacquiao's rotator cuff injury will supposedly be keeping him out for 9-12 months. To me that means September will be Mayweather v Khan followed by Pacquiao v Khan early next year.
We've already talked about Khan observing Ramadan during September, but under certain circumstances an Imam can grant permission for exemption provided they observe Ramadan at the closet possible opportunity afterwards. Traditionally exemption was granted to those travelling or going to war but last year many players at the World Cup did not fast and even the whole of the Algerian squad was allowed to forgo Ramadan by an Imam.

Im watching First Take (ESPN sports debate show) at the moment and Stephen A. Smith got a text from Floyd live on the show saying he WILL rematch Manny Pacquiao in a year after his surgury. So there you have it folks. Fight 49 looks like it will be Manny unless Floyd chooses to go ahead and fight in September making MayPac2 fight number 50.

I read this rumour (at the time) earlier on the way home from work too. Now it's officially straight from the horses mouth! the rematch will be #50 and then he will retire after that...probably still undefeated and one more than Marciano's record.
Possible schedule?
September 2015: Mayweather v Khan
February-May 2016: Pacquiao v Khan
September1036: Mayweather v Pacquiao II

Meh, completely meaningless with the fight at least a year out at this point. All Manny has to do is shut the fuck up and accept his ass whooping like a man and Floyd will fight him again. If he could do that for 5 fucking seconds it would be great. Im so sick and tired of him and Freddie Roach running their mouths and producing zero results. You havent knocked anyone out in 5 years and you barely presented a challenge to FLoyd. Not only that you either lied to the public before the fight when you said you were healthy or you lied after the fight when you said you were hurt. Either way you're a rat bastard lying poor sport who doesnt honestly deserve a rematch. All the things he was supposedly bringing to the table didnt happen so fuck Pac. Hope he enjoys his $100million along with his L. /Rant

^ Even as a Pacman fan myself, I have to agree.
Never expected him to win but at least maintain his humble character. This is the sort of shit I would have expected from Floyd to be honest :/
Hope some sort of movement is made towards a Khan Mayweather fight.
