It's boring, which is why I paid nothing to stream that shit. "Most underwhelming fight of the century"
i actually think its the opposite. if floyd does it its called running but if somebody else does it its called boxing.
I think he was literally running at times and holding on for his dear life. Preety awful fight to watch.
He grabbed a few times really trying to avoid getting hit but I don't remember him just running other then the last 10 seconds of the fight. My point was though that if for example algieri fought the same fight as Floyd and won, I don't think most people would talk about him running. He would get a ton of respect for fighting a very smart fight. We just expect more out of Floyd though.
