I also found that having sparred the heavier guys and struggled to get through 3 minute roiunds because of their physical strength, I cruised through 2 minute rounds with ease.
Maybe your fighting style is evolving as well as improved confidence? I mean if you know you can take a punch from a guy a few weight classes above you, your less likely to shy away from guys your own weight. Also with the bigger guys you might set your feet better in order to defend and retaliate, instead of chasing guys round the ring all the time. But either way it sounds like it has done you good.
