Because he got hit too much..cleanly too
Yeah... He was taking some serious damage in that fight...
Fights like that can change a fighter's life. Tim Bradley talks about that all the time when referring to his fight with Prov.

Bruh always exuded that roid rage energy. I fell for it though, thought he was improved and on that 2nd tier of young Welterweights butcalled it. WAY back. Dude was on that shyt.

It's actually amazing how dude ran the gauntlet at 154 taking those punches to wear fighters down to beat them...as amazing as his big ass weighing under 154 consistently
Timmy took prime ending punishment because he had a chip on his shoulder but it wasn't like he wasn't get cracked before...prov finally dented him

Some great footage and examples.
I don't agree with what he says though re shuffles for the most part.
Footwork is about balance yes, but it's also about being off balance (off centre of gravity) and still being balanced. I don't care what anyone says.
Take Ali for example. He had a innate ability to pull his head back off the line and still step around/balance and maintain balance, then either get away or counter. I've never really seen anyone else be able to do that.
Or take Pernell Whitaker, he could pivot, slip, step from his torso at a 180 degree angle.
Now you can call the above kinetic awareness, evasiveness, balance, agility, flexibility, whatever. But it's also deft footwork off the backfoot and front foot to be able to do it.
