#1 Ricky didn't move his head very well and it caught up with him

#2 Ricky didn't attack the body effectively, I already stated in the "Keys to Victory" thread that once Ricky had Floyd on the ropes he needed to turn and get angles to land to the body and open up Floyd's defense and he never did it.


Ricky was aggressive, he threw a lot of punches, but at the expense of his defense and his stamina which cost him. Floyd was just more economical with his punches and his defense, he used less energy and did everything better than Ricky.
