    It wasn't "boring" but I would not have called it action-packed either. A mediocre fight for certain.

          I only bought the fight cause of Oscar. The fight was boring thanks to Floyd. After seeing the Baldy fight I knew all that **** talking about a war and **** was going to turn into running on fight night.

            I was surprised how enjoyable it was. I thought he’d have got on his bike and picked away with the jab for and being the smaller man, I wouldn’t have blamed him? But Jr stood and thought to a degree that surprised me, using his reflexes instead of his speed of foot, staying in front of Hoya often. A fight for the connoisseurs I think, technically, it was brilliant.

                  It really wasnt a bad fight. I also enjoy portions of the Baldomir fight. Some of the middle rounds Floyd was really showing off his skill

                    This is also true. The idea of Oscar trying to break Floyd's incredible defense was very interesting to me and a lot of others. So the spectical had something to do with it's entertainment value for sure.

                    Still I've probably watched it 3-4 times. It has some replay value.

                      it was fun to watch mayweather pick apart baldy until he broke his hand

                      then it started to get boring

                      first 6 round were good tho
