    What was up with Floyd Sr. roasting Floyd Jr. in between rounds?

    Floyd was easily winning and not getting hit...and Floyd Sr. wanted him to be more aggressive...and damn near cursed Floyd out....Weird seeing that Sr. is the one that gat Floyd back into that style of stick ad move...when Roger had him boxing with less movement and more aggressive

    floyd was passing up openings that he would have taken a few years ago. i don't think he looked his best, even though he clearly had more than enough to coast to victory

      i think he wanted him to try to get a knockout and not risk a decision, even though he was winning

        He probably wanted him to step it up a gear, like how he approached the 11th.

          During the press conference he said sr was hearing the crowd cheer every time pac threw and wanted floyd to throw more combos to leave no doubt. But floyd knew he was winning

            He thought they would give Manny the decision no matter if Floyd was dominating the fight.

              It was a very pro Pacquiao crowd maybe he thought the judges would be influenced by that?

                Because some of the things they worked on in training camp, Floyd Jr wouldn't pull the trigger with that stuff. He just refused to take the risk.

                  No, he just wasn't following the gameplan exactly. Similar to the Guerrero bout. There was a certain thing Floyd Sr. wanted him to do, but Floyd wouldn't take the risk. He would just execute half of it, and then bail.

                    Like above posters said, he was doing the opposite of that bull**** Nacho did in the corner to Marquez in Pac-Marquez III. Didn't want Floyd to start coasting because he knew he was doing the better work, because the judges might not, or might not want to, see it that way. Reminded me of Manny Steward during Klitschko-Haye.

                    Senior did a good job in the corner.
