I was watching the Don Moore exhibition. That's actually a friend of Floyd's, yet the moment TBE got hit, he proceeded to beat the hell out of him.
But that's not it.
This is a 40+ year old man, and despite a pretty high workrate, was standing in between rounds, he was dancing, he's holding up the ring card, and a hallmark of his for years: talking to the commentators during the fight.
It means he's not only aware of exactly where he is at any given moment, but it's incredible that he can hear them so clearly. I believe it was the Guerrero fight where he actually even corrected Jim Lampley on something.
Which means he's thinking about other things while clearly comfortable in the ring with someone who is trying to hurt him.
You take guys like Joshua who are constantly worried about getting knocked out, tense and on edge, then they take an L and mentally shatter.
It's sad that America rejected Floyd, a guy who represented America in the Olympics and continued to entertain while beating everyone he said he would. But it's good to see international fans, the real ones left, flock to see him do his thing; it's obvious what a real star is when a Mayweather exhibition draws more money than 10 of Crawford's fights.
But that's not it.
