Floyd normally makes it out of fights with little to no direct punches really having landed on him so if he eats 24 solid punches the duration of a 12 round fight, that would be more than the majority of his fights. Most of the punches that hit Floyd are when he is turning and they slide right off of him.
Floyd came away with the win, cong**** to him. Now go ask some random dude what he remembers most about the fight.......is he gonna comment on the punch stats or the fact that Floyd won in shady fashion? Regardless of what Floyd did in the ring, it's going to get overshadowed by how he won the fight.
That's neither here nor there but the underlying thing to me is why did he do it? Of course anyone could say he was pissed about the head butt attempt but Ortiz already received his punishment from the ref. Aggression is not something that Floyd handles the best, standing in the center of the ring and boxing is Floyd's game.
Just remember what I said about Floyd starting aggressive but backing off after the first couple exchanges. I could be wrong but I fully expect Cotto to present more than a tuneup in terms of challenge to Floyd.
