The dude is a 36 year old pressure fighter who's style is reliant on footspeed.....mainly, he just got old
In any case it was more like 5 or 6 to 1 or 2, round after round
worst commentator off are times.
Thanks for starting this thread. My morning has been embiggened by this cromulent insight.
Right again. Floyd fought exactly the way Floyd always fights. I didnt even think he held allot tbh and i'm a stickler for that shit.
so i'm piecing together your own personal dictionary here. 'Big fight' = 'good fight' and 'better fighter' = 'better fighter among guys as big or...

Lets both rewatch the fight tomorrow.
As i said: consistently landed more punches than the other guy. Thats boxing.
As I said, i'll see what rounds you guys gave him and how they look tomorrow. Look at the body language of both men after the fight. look at...

Pretty drunk yeah. I'll rewatch it tomorrow. I doubt i'm wrong tho
I spent the whole fight rocking back and forward like a mental patient murmering 'come on manny, come on....get up on your toes, feint...come on...

Watch it again tomorrow. Floyd won wide.

Floyd won pretty wide
