    It seemed like alot of one punch shots/counters/jabs..was odd he could have finished Marquez. I know hes not a risk taker but it was rediculous after a while.

      You should have saw Floyd press for a stop from round 7 on. It was absolutely clear by 7 Marquez had 0 for him. Praise Juan for his excellent ability to fight inside. Floyd backed off every time. He'd rather peck than take clean punches to get the shots in he needed to end the fight.

      Floyd was actually pressing for KO's against Judah and Hatton, so I disagree with that last bit.

        After Hatton ran into a counter hook and barely stood up he pressed for the ko

          Floyd was looking to land that punch all night.

            Man i was waiting for a four punch combo the whole damn fight. I just don't think he has it in him to put it on the line that way. Winning is too damn important to at least try and put it all out on the line. It's sad but it is what it is.
