Hugfest is a tad hyperbolic, he wasn't exactly Vladimir Klitschko in there. He did it a few times during the first 5 rounds then stopped when he started to take over. Also ducking out of corners and when your back hits the ropes isn't running....it's just smart boxing.
Boring? Yeah, but that's what you get for being the best. You're not getting into dogfights, when you are just that much better.
