I'm rewatching this now and yeah, Floyd's only motive in the early rounds was to gas Conor. Because if he kept coming forward, Conor was going to have to back-peddle, expending energy. Floyd Sr. thought by round four, Conor would be done, I thought around that time too. Floyd is one of the best ever at cutting off a ring, he didn't even try to do that this fight. He threw a couple of jabs to Conor's solar plexus to keep him honest. He just let Conor walk backwards, blow his wad, tire himself out. I personally thought Conor's tank would empty earlier, props to him for that, but when it did go, I knew Floyd would do what he needed to do. I don't want to outright say Floyd carried him for the first few rounds because Conor did show legit boxing ability, but Floyd was just biding his time and when it was time, he was going to make it count.
