    I guess you didn't notice all of the lefts he missed too?

      agreed. Guys act like you are never supposed to get hit. You hardly ever fight lefty's and you have one of the most talented guys in Judah bringing his A game.

        Exactly..as if Leonard, Ali, Robinson, NEVER got tagged...

        everyone does...but how much? Judah landed a few lefts early...but missed 3x that man throught the night...

        I dont care how good your defense is...if you are in there with another quick and talented fighter, you will get hit...

          I think PBF defense is phenomenal. able to read the fight and make necessary adjustments. i think he did a fantastic job, any lesser fighter (ex. Spinks) will lose or get KOed by a desperate and angry Judah.

            Mayweather's Defence is GREAT, remember that he was fighting a southpaw.

            Have you guys fought a southpaw? It is very uncomfortable and can be quite frustrating.

              yeah I used to spar with my roomate after working out a bit in our apartment...I was always able to avoid his punches and shoot a counter here and there...then at times he would turn southpaw and he was always able to clip me one my left side of my body...

              point being, that fighting a southpaw no matter how good you are can make for some discomfort...Floyd's uncle even admitted that for Floyd...but Floyd defense and skill is too great and he always adjusts

                Yeah but Floyd caught it with his reflexes and leaned back some as best as he could and would weather it would sneak in..

                Zabs quickness is legitmate "QUICNESS" no question. But Floyd adjusted. One of the most amazing performacnes that I ever witnessed lol..

                  if judah can get a rematch and work on his conditoning, he can easily beat mayweather, every round where zab was aggressive he won!
                  hahaha yeah... how many points did u lose bc of this????

                    i liked how he ducked under his straight lefts in the later rounds, which is exactly what zab was doing to pbf's right hands in the early rounds

                      I agree, Zab was able to land in spots because he's a very speedy south paw. No one's defense is 100% impregnable.

                      He ate a few shots, but he adjusted.
