    He reminded of of roy jones lasnight (prime one) he didnt fight like floyd he gave that man a totally new look than he has given any southpaw... counter left hooks over the jab lead right hands to the body and head.... i must say i felt ghost was going to be a problem but the guy didnt fight him like he fights most souths respect tot he man for putting on an amazing fight...

    Nah, fought just like regular Mayweather. Just overused the straight right pull counter and used head movement more than the philly shell.

    IMO he used the same tactics as the Ortiz fight. Paw down the right jab, push off to land the straight right before ducking down out of reach of any counters, etc.

    Nah just a different emphasis in training. Floyd Sr fingerprint was all over this. This was reminiscent of a younger Mayweather when he was under Sr albeit a slightly slower version.

    First two rounds I was shouting for floyd to move his damn legs, after the 3rd I was like the fight is done pretty boy floyd is back.

    Not really? Roy Jones showboats, takes a lot more chances and uses a **** load of left hooks. See what you wanna see, I guess.

    It was real apparent starting into the 3rd that Floyd done figured Robert out and it was about to be on...:yep

    Nothing's really changed except his new monotone voice interview..
