Not that he landed a whole hell of a lot of clean shots himself.
A lot of posing, running, clinching and one shot at a time.
That punch did hurt Floyd, no doubt, and he was cautious in the next round. He was pretty much the same Floyd post fight, he's not nearly as cocky or dismissive of his opponents as he used to be, in my opinion.
If Floyd was hurt as much as you guys are saying throughout the fight, are you going to give him any props for staying in there and pretty much stifling Maidana's attempts to get anything started.
When you say Floyd wasn't hitting Maidana with accurate and clean shots it makes me think we were watching different fights.
The thing you should be excited about is that Floyd was getting in some clean right hands and uppercuts with little effect on Maidana. Floyd also landed some good shots to the body.
I'm not a big Floyd fan, he was definitely holding too much, and I can see where people would say he was running, but if you want to be taken seriously you have to give credit to Floyd what he does in the ring. He always figures out a way to win.
