Just because Floyd doesn't get hit, it doesn't mean he's running.
He's not gonna run. He's not gonna stand toe to toe and throw unguarded either. He's not a moron.
Oscar got the ring and gloves he wanted.
If Floyd's plan was to run, I would assume he would've fought to get some control over these stipulations.
He's gonna wanna put on a performance.
Baldomir was not a global stage.
In Floyd's biggest showcase fights, he always puts on a show.
This will be no different.
Why refer to the Baldomir fight to suggest what he'll do tonight?
I like to refer to his other big showcase fights instead. This is it, baby.

I refer to Baldomir because this was a bigger stronger opponent (ie Oscar) he has recently fought his gameplan vs a bigger stornger fighter is to come in land 1 maybe 2 shots then retreat circle (run)then do it again this makes for an extreamely boring and unwatchable fight ask the crowd that saw that snoozefest most of them left in the 9th round.

Or ask Mayweather who lied and promised the fans a "Blood ,sweat and tears" fight and delivered a "snooze sleep and snor" fight boxing needs Leonard vs Hearns but i doubt it will get that following Floyds track record
