Probably because he faced a guy that is the closest to him in terms of talent and gifts, but he had an edge in mentality. I don't think Baldomir is as fast or quickly reflexed as Judah.

True but Judah respected PBF's power... will Baldomir?

It is the middle rounds of the fight I' am interested in ;) Floyd should make Tata look like he is standing still for the 1st few rounds and once he figures him out (assuming he gets his respect) he'll put on a clinic in the last few... but that still leaves the middle rounds where the fight can change. We may find that Floyd can't hurt Baldomir and has to try and hotdog his way to victory (worst case scenario, Baldo puts in the work and gets ripped off by the judges :( ).

Hopefully Floyd try's to make a statement to the other big Welterweights in this fight. How nice it would be to see him sit in the pocket, plant his feet and bang. ;D

He lost his chin for damn sure.

lets not forget that baldomir only has like 10 kos. he not a big puncher. you can say was able to stop gatti but so did PBF
