One of the things most people dont realize about Mayweather is his brain is faster than his hands, and he can fight any style. If he leans back on the ropes its cause he knows he can get away with it. Zab didnt let his hands go more after the 1st 3 rounds because he would have gotten his ass handed to him, he was more content on staying in the fight and trying to counter punch Mayweather. Zab had a good chance and if he stuck to the gameplan could have won, but he would have gotten hit more and he didnt have the heart to walk through the fire and go for a victory. If you watch the fight closely Mayweather came out with a different style for every round(and i pointed this out before lampley) he was holding his hands up walking right up to zab waiting for him to throw so he could counter. Meanwhile Zab was doing the same thing cept he was backing up. A counterfest would have been boring so mayweather pressed him. He fought the fight the way zab wanted and still beat him Much respect for the greatest fighter ive ever laid eyes on. "The person who is gonna beat me aint even been born yet. It might be one of my kids" Floyd Mayweather Jr.
