FIGHT OF THE CENTURY

  
 It was Annas birthday.  It was Kates birthday. It was the night of the Pacquiao and Mayweathers fight and it was billed as the fight of the Century in the boxing sports world. As planned the party was held in Placentia, Kuya Byans and Annas residence.  House was full packed. Some relatives even brought their friends to the party. Party food was overwhelming too.   The party started with the blowing of the candles by the celebrants.  Then buffet dinner took place. When the fight was about to start guests find their own place on where they can find a better view of the tv.  Mostly the younger ones on one side of the house and the rest stayed in the entertainment area.  Not sure on this but I assumed that all the people in the room were rooting for Pacquiao. As expected loud cheers whenever Pacquio scores. Until that part when we thought we are losing.  the Post analysis after the fight of course.  Everyone had something to share of how the fight went. Of course the guys had longer conversation over bottles of  beer.                               

 It was a not  so awesome night because Pacquiao lost the fight but more to that was a great celebration of another year for Anna and Kate and celebrating it with the whole family.

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Results: Floyd Mayweather outpaces Manny Pacquiao to seize decision win

The fight of the century came and went, and in the end, nothing changed. Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Manny Pacquiao to stay unbeaten on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV, seizing control of the latter stages of the fight to claim a unanimous decision on the judges' scorecards.

Judges Burt Clements and Glenn Feldman scored the contest 116-112, while judge Dave Moretti scored it 118-110, all in favor of Mayweather. MMAFighting.com scored the bout 117-111 for Mayweather.

"He's a hell of a fighter," Mayweather said afterward of the rival he struggled to come to terms with for over half a decade. "I take my hat off to Manny Pacquiao. Now I see why he's one of the guys who is at the pinnacle of the sport of boxing."

In a fight that will likely go down as the most lucrative combat sports event ever, Mayweather battled through an unusually shaky start to seize momentum and gain control of the scorecards from round seven onwards. Pacquiao wanted to make it the contest a dogfight, and he did so early with some success, stalking Mayweather into the ropes and unloading his trademark punching flurries while cutting off the ring to great effect. The punching totals for both fighters were virtually identical by the start of the eighth round, but then Mayweather took over.

Led behind his jab, "Money" proved once again why he's the greatest defensive fighter of our era, lulling Pacquiao's offense into a standstill and outlanding the legendarily aggressive Filipino by a mark of 148 to 81 by the fight's end.

"I knew he was going to push me," Mayweather said. "I knew he was going to win some rounds. He had moments in the fight, but I kept him on the outside. I was the smarter fighter. I outboxed him."

Pacquiao (57-6-2), for his part, believed he won the fight, claiming that Mayweather "did nothing" and was largely running away throughout the contest. The judges disagreed though, and according to official fight statistics, Pacquiao landed double-digit punch totals just three times over the course of 12 rounds, with Mayweather's movement and defense proving too stifling for Pacquiao to overcome.
