    Mitchell's making a decent fight of this...

    ... the southpaw stance, reasonable speed and willingness to get rough with Mayweather are producing the slight chance that he may clock Floyd flush.

    Okay, he's losing out of sight and he's four points down, but he's not the sitting duck Gatti let himself become.

      It looked like Sharmba was trying to bum him at the end of that round. I reckon Floyd will stop this early, but there's a chance one of Mitchell's wide shots will connect and stun him for a second, right? A chance.

          Yeah, the bell bits are the best.

          That fifth round was reasonably close, but Floyd is still walking it. It'd be nice to see Floyd get clocked just to ****e it up a bit...

            Floyd's an exceptional boxer, but some of his bouts are like pulling the wings off a butterfly.

                I like the way Floyd uses his arm folded to block punches, moving the elbow up and down. Looks like he's a chicken flapping a wing.

                    Comparatively speaking, yeah. I notice Floyd doesn't seem to like being roughed up. (Also see him say he was prepared to go to England to fight Hatton?) The Hatton fight would be interesting.
