I understand that boxing is all a matter of scoring, last night it sure seemed
Like there were a few rounds where Pac threw and landed several more punches than Mayweather, yet the judges and the statistics kept showing that Mayweather won those rounds.

Also, the end punch count and landed punches significantly favored Mayweather and I didn't see it as one sided as the judges, and I can understand why Pac was confused at the final result.

I admit that I am not an avid boxing fan, but did anyone else see it that way?

Also, seems to me that in boxing you should somehow be rewarded for being the "aggressor". Until the last round of 2, it seems like 8-9 of the rounds Pac was the aggressor, had mayweather on his heels, on the ropes, etc, while may weather just kept backing away. Granted, mayweather obviously knows the rules and exactly what he needed to do to win, but it just seems that the spirit of the sport is to actually want to go in and fight and not keep backing away.

Just reminds me of fighting in the school yard, the bigger kid that keeps running away while the shorter kid wants to Get in there and brawl, might come away with "less damage" but he would also be made fun of by his freinds and all that witnessed it as being a "chicken". I know boxing is a sport and not a brawl, but to all of the non boxing "fans" Mayweather looks like a cocky "chicken" and that's why people are having a hard time with it all.
