I was pretty impressed with the way he took those shots. He was hit by a couple of good ones throughout the fight, they were few and far between but still there.

Everyone always talks about how Floyd could always lose if he gets hit with a big shot because he rarely does get hit with big shots. Also Oscar was never a one punch KO guy above 140. He had pretty good pop at 154, not Miranda type pop.Comment

I really thought Oscar was gonna be able to knock out floyd. It was a tough fight to watch because Floyd is my favorite fighter, but oscar is also up there. I didn't want the fight to happen, but i'm glad it ended the way it did if both return back to the ring.
In all the bickering on this fight I can't believe some of the stuff i'm reading as to what happened in the fight and what actually happened. I've always loved watching floyd in the pocket using that shoulder defense and watching the crowd get excited when nothings really landing. They both landed some solid shots through out the fight, but floyd did land some more visibly clean ones, its just that they didn't phase oscar.
To those saying mayweather was a chicken running. Floyd is not a brawler. you would know this if you actually followed the guys career. We have plenty of mexicans and other fighters that stand and go toe to toe all the time willing to take all that punishment to win the fight. Floyd is just not one of them. I can appreciate the way floyd fights, unlike many just looking for two sluggers and a knock out. Like i said, I love when floyd is in the pocket and just watches the oppenent trying to punch all over him with little effect and then counters with a clean shot.
Floyd didn't get to dominate oscar like he has with other opponent, but oscar is no slouch. Almost every fight oscar has fought in his career he has brought it. People love the golden boy for a reason, and thats great.
I wish floyd wouldn't be a punk ass all the time and try to mello out his personality. I think he is incredible and love watching his fights, and maybe more fans would be drawn to him if he wasn't so ****y and could explain his talents a little better than how he words them.
Anyhow. good fight and hope both will be in the ring again. (together

Anyone who can like floyd or oscar after both of them gave us a ****ty fight. Really are the term "Nutt-Hugger"Comment

Well maybe because I've been a fan most of their careers and I don't stop being a fan because someone else is unsatisfied with a performance. I didn't know I was a "Nutt-Hugger" for being a fan no matter what. Good assessment though buddy.

Yeah, who cares if you followed a fighter for years, once they have one boring fight you should stop liking them immediately.Comment
