yeah I no, Ill rewtach it soon, but u get the point I was trying to make, he didnt abandon it cause he was countered, I for one think his old shoulder let him down once again

oscars shoulder is fine, he just didn't have what it takes to win. to beat floyd you have to beat him in the middle of the ring, and oscar did not throw his jab to setup his punches in the center of the ring. o

He was countered on the jab once in the fifth and again in the sixth.
Funny thing was, the jab was Oscar's most effective punch, and it wasn't even that effective. Floyd's jab usually reached Oscar before Oscar reached him. Floyd would just shift his body left and throw his jab; Oscar miss, Floyd hit.

What I really liked in the fight was the jab to the body, and the overhand right to the chin. It was like a cheat code in a video game, it never failed!

As opposed to the other fights Oscar lost because of his shoulder?

As for why Oscar stopped jabbing, who knows?

It's hardly the first time Oscar has made tactical errors in a big fight.
