I agree.
I think he had an anesthetic or something and that was why he was 10 minutes late walking to the ring. Coupled with the adrenaline I can tell you that he probably didn't feel a thing.
I can tell you personally that when it starts flowing, punches barely hurt... certainatly a lot less than if you were calm and cold.
I really doubt his little toe hurt him that much... if it was his big toe it might have effected him a lot more. He's back tracked on it now but I really didn't like him going on about it right after. But that's emotion for you and everybody is only too happy to talk about it from their arm chairs.
