I know a lots been said but here's my view.
This fight has sorted out the true fans of boxing. Putting his personality aside, PBF put on a boxing clinic. He was perfectly accurate when he said post fight that that fight should be shown to any youngster learnig how to box. I always believed boxing to be the sweet science of hitting and not getting hit!?! We have come a long way from the travelling fairs where you draw a line in the sand and have 2 men stand there and take it in turns to swing at each other.
Even when Baldomir was trying to trap PBF in the corner, he couldn't lay a glove on him and eventually got turned. What did you expect, PBF to just stand there and take the punches?
A few times he was throwing straight back from the ropes, and a couple of rounds he forced Baldomir back. Not bad considering who was the bigger and stronger man. When PBF was in front of him, he was there to be hit, but Baldomir just couldn't.
You may look back on all the great wars and harp on about how brave those fighters were to take all those shots and fight through them, but I can assure you, nobody enjoys getting hit in the face and it sure as hell isn't someones game plan coming into a fight. Everyone of those "real fighters" would have avoided taking those big shots if they could. The only thing is they don't have the ability to, while PBF does.
