fight went exactly how i expected.
Floyd uses his ability to completely outbox people when he wants the win. It makes for boring fights, but oh well. About 70% of the people who watch boxing just watch for a knockout and dont appreciate the skill involved with it. Sure he's falling short on being entertaining to those 70% of the "Fans" but fuck it he's still without a loss.
His keys to the victory were 1st his reach advantage
His speed and amazing counterpunch ability which in his case go hand-in-hand.
Granted he COULD'VE (not should've) gone toe-to-toe with Baldomir but i think Floyd knows that his skill might be taking him past what his Jaw can naturally handle in terms of a strong flush punch, also the power his punches dont carry. Something RJJ learned the hard way a couple of times. Also i could just see it now if Floyd had decided to stand in and throw em with Baldomir and got knocked out after winning all the rounds, they would've asked why he wasnt sticking and moving and neutralizing the bigger man's punching ability.
The thing that makes me laugh is he continually beats everyone he faces, but gets no luv @ the end of the fight, just criticism. Floyd exposes these fighters for their simple lack of diversified skill without having to go for the KO. I love it! These other fighters are either too slow, too dumb, and sometimes a lil of both to contend.
They should've grilling Baldomir at the end of the fight. THey should've asked if he deserved to be called a champion when he could only land 79 punches in 12 rounds.
