This has ALWAYS been Floyd's style...much more of a defensive fighter who wins off the technical aspect...especially the last 6-8 years or so. So his fights are never exactly "entertaining" unless you are a purist, or appreciative of defense. Same way a lot of folks aren't fans of NFL teams that are more focused on winning based on defense, because defense will never be as exciting in most spots...but especially not in boxing, because folks see it as "running." But that shit is a complete art. To see somebody swing at someone THAT MANY got damn times, and that fast...and then see that person shake their head and literally say "nope!" is wild as shit.

People talking about he's "running". Nah he's landing a higher percentage of the punches he's throwing. This ain't street fightin, nigga lol. It's a game with rules, and highlights don't win games unless it's a game winning shot or KO or something. I mean it's great to be able to out-punch somebody in a punch-off like Tyson or just be 1000 times more athletic but when that's not the case, you better know how to win the game with fundamentals and rules. Pacquiao lost because he didn't do that.

They just want to see a punch-off. Sorry, it's not that simple, it's an actual sport.

she always thought boxing was barbaric, but she walked away from this fight understanding the art of boxing...the high-speed, full contact chess match. She said that she sees how it's a sport and not anachronistic brutality.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
