Not at all, Floyd's plan was to be more defensive early and let Connor throw the big punches. Listen to the post fight interview, Floyd said Connor surprised him with his angles. Floyd turned his back and ducked down at least a half a dozen times. I thought the ref separated them too quickly on many occasions and didn't let them box in the clinch, which would have favored Connor.
Also thought the stoppage was lame. Of course Connor was wobbly, but as he said, it was from fatigue and not the shots he was taking. He's used to taking a lot more punishment than that in his mma fights.
