    I seem to clearly recall him fighting Barrios' fight and going toe to toe and then going toe to toe and outboxing Soto, but with some running late in a showboating fashion.

    Runner? No.

    WHAT!!!!!

    He's no runner you fool, he is just a supremely talented BOXER - Hit & don't get hit.

    Sad how someone in the upper echelon of fighters can be called a runner.

    Learn some things about the sport.

    Nope. He is just like Malignaggi. He outboxes his opponent infront of them. Makes them look silly. Runners dont land triple left hooks like Guzman was landing last night.

    Does he run because he is afraid of Soto's punch or does he run to embarass Soto, who cannot touch him? Look closely! I vote for showboating, not running...

    Mayweather doesnt trade like Guzman was doing in the early rounds. And that is a great example of why Guzman is talented. Soto is a solid guy that would give all the top 130 lbs trouble. And he coudnt put hands on Guzman.

    He is a champion and he did everything else there was to do on the night, except stop Soto...:deal

    I agree, though, if I were his best friend, I would tell him to go easy on that kind of showboating, because few people are likely to appreciate it.

    The showboating was great. He was dancing infront of Soto and he still coudnt put a hand on him. He humiliated Soto. The crowd loved it.

    I heard "GUZMAN, GUZMAN, GUZMAN" throughout the fight. They enjoyed Soto get schooled.

    It's true; they didn't like that bit.
