I thought B-Hop won both those fights narrowly as well, especially the first one (Taylor ALMOST got knocked out in the 10th or right around that point).

I guess there is always two ways at looking at things. My take is that PBF broke him down which is why Zab wasn't effective later in the fight. I can understand your POV so we'll just have to leave it at that. Entertaining fight regardless, the person who impressed me the most was none other than referee Dick Steel (haha porn name) who let the fight continue after all of the mayhem! I wish all refs were like that

I thought Zab was genuinely giving Floyd a hard time and won 4 out of the first 6 rounds. Floyd even stated that Zab's a front runner and he knew he was in for a rough few rounds. Watching the first few rounds of the fight I couldn't help but think that Zab might actually upset Floyd but everything went downhill from the 5-6 on for him. Floyd's a strong mental fighter and Zab isn't, when things don't go his way or start to get tough for him he falls apart and that was obvious by the low blow and punch to the back of Floyd's head. IMO it was a combination of Floyd figuring out Zab and breaking him down as well Zab's mental instability which led to result of the fight.

^Exactly.... I agree with everything you said... I was thinking the same thing early on in the fight. I was like... this is finna be an upset because I thought Mayweather was going to win. But when Zab came out firing that left hand and then counterpunching with that straight left I was like uh oh....Zab looked fast early in the fight.

You're right Anaheim Rob, Floyd mentally is a better fighter. As the fight went on he did begin to figure Zab out. I think once Floyd figured out how to avoid Zab's left he began to pick him apart. Zab is a little hot-head for sure. If things don't go his way that fool will cheat.

2-0-Sixx, I hear you too dog! I think the ref did the right thing by letting the fight go on.

^ Yeah, I'm a Floyd fan too...but he's doing a little too much. Look for Oscar to turn this into a brawl, which plays right into his advantage. Once he gets Floyd on the ropes, its gonna be tough, Floyd has never been hit by anyone close to the power that Oscar has. He's in for a surprise. This is where Oscar's 8-9 pound size advantage will come in handy.
