    De la Hoya got going right from the word go, mayweather just seemed intent on keeping it all back for the stretch home.

    I had it 114-114

    Floyd was understandly cautious about standing his ground early because it was new territory at 154. With hindsight yes he should have stood his ground more and would have won by bigger margins if he did but tactically before the fight it would have seemed like a bad idea especially when he has the edge in quicker feet. Towards the end of teh fight he was setting his feet and letting go.

    I'd like to see him fight Pac the same way he met Shane but the ferocity and speed of Pacs attack may cause Floyd to re position abit more than he'd like to. Either way Floyd wins. If Paul wins tonight thats a good fight to look forward to.

    After watching Paul Williams against Martinez and Quintana, he makes way too many mistakes to compete with Floyd.
