The crucial factors here were timing and distance and Mayweather’s huge advantage in quickness. It’s the morning after and some are criticizing young Saul for a game plan which appeared to voluntarily negate his natural advantages in size and strength, but it was obvious that attacking with abandon would have simply led to more punishment.
