Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were not the only ones getting pummeled in the ring during Saturday night’s fight at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.

Actor/singer Jamie Foxx performed a “distinct” version of the National Anthem ahead of Saturday night’s “Fight of the Century,” and viewers promptly took to Twitter to bash the star for the performance.

“Jamie Foxx making me feel good about my shower singing,” tweeted NBC political reporter Luke Russert.

“Both Boxers should take the first minute of the 1st round and knock out Jamie Foxx for butchering the Anthem!!” added Larry the Cable Guy.

Below is just a small sampling of the reactions to Foxx’s performance:
