id knock his head clean off
There was an obvious gentleman's agreement behind the scenes to go the distance and not hurt each other too bad. If this was hypothetically a legitimate, sanctioned boxing match where it would go on Floyd's record, Paul would have been done within 3 rounds. I highly doubt many people who are in decent shape couldn't jump around for 24 minutes when the fight was literally supposed to go all 8 rounds.
