Floyd seemed to get hit more than usual, why?

[dan_cov]

He's got no legs anymore so is forced to stand toe to toe. His time is coming.

His legs looked fine to me, In fact I think that is the best they've looked in years (not that I had thought he was starting to decline in anyway, shape or form)

smh at this thread

more than usual? he limited Ortiz to an avg of 6-7 punches landed per rd

so no, he didnt get hit more than usual

[Larry the boss]

how is this even a question??when you move forward and open up more..you'll get hit more than if you move around and throw 1 punch at a time...jesus has anyone ever boxed here??or even actually studied the sport??

[Larry the boss]

Hopkins gets hit more now why??cause he's throwing more leather...winky switch his style up to be more exciting..and got hit more.......but you can still count the times floyd gets hit which is hardly any

no, he doesn't have the same mobility he used to, he's stepping around the ring now rather than dancing around it.

The guy has slowed down, it's natural, doesn't matter what sport you're in, the legs don't work the same in the mid-thirties, see any soccer player as an example.

ortiz landed maybe 2-3 pure, clean shots. . . everytime he pressed mayweather against the ropes and flurried, mayweather rolled with the punches and compeltely blocked, caught, or partially deflected the shots with gloves, elbows, and shoulders. . .

in the center of the ring ortiz did land a clean straight left - and against the ropes a punch or two slipped through. . . maybe a few jabs to the body, but floyd was cool, calm, and collected and never remotely hurt. . . it was typical floyd shutout defense IMO.

What's hit more? 18% of his punches?

Ortiz barely landed a clean shot.

[Larry the boss]

in round 4 ortiz landed plenty

he landed 5 shots that round and 26 the entire fight

He's got no legs? Really, if you've followed boxing and actually watched a bit more you'd know that he's actually fighting more like he did when he was younger. It couldn't possibly be that he's adjusted to fighting at 147? My guess is that you've probably never boxed a day in your life. When he moved up to 147 I don't think the weight adjusted had been made. Now that he feels more like a true welterweight, he's actually looking more like he did when he fought guys like Manfreddy and Hernandez. Therefore most boxers would box more if they 'feel' smaller and less powerful.
