Official Mayweather vs Maidana Master Discussion & Postfight Analysis Thread

[Syf]

And how cool is it that Chino is sparring Mikey Garcia? Great sparring

[The Problem Child]

Funny thing is that if i made a thread saying can Floyd beat Maidana even if he trades a lot and moves less?, i think the Majority would still say Floyd wins.

All opponents of Maidana who came to fight, Ortiz,Lopez,Morales,Karras,Cayo,Broner all eventually got stopped or outworked. Khan and Devon were holding, running and were defensive minded and never traded in the middle of the ring, Khan traded with Garcia and you saw the results. Kotelnik fought more but i always score that 7-5 Maidana anyway.

(Vs Devon, he didn't look like he wanted to even try to fight out of clinches, vs Broner he was, he threw with his one free hand and was going to town on Broner. Porter does the same as well, vs Floyd Maidana hopefully does the same, fight out, be dirty if you have to)


Floyd IMO gets badly hurt if he fights with the mindset of "i can fight this guy up close all fight and fight aggressively as i will make him miss and counter him all night".

Floyd IMO will move a lot, pot shot,counter and clinch. I'm just praying Maidana keeps forcing him to the ropes and throws bombs. Maybe Maidana will make Floyd fight though, Or Floyd never really get into any danger and makes Maidana look silly all night?.

I think Floyd gets tested, hopefully early which changes the fight. If Floyd does dominate then fair play to him because Maidana is coming into this with IMO with the right attitude, the right team, the right game plan and with confidence.

Once more for good luck, War Maidana.

You bring up some very good points. I suggest anyone looking for some knowledge to hit this post up and educate yourself.

It should be +1000 at least, I know Maidana to win straight up is +700 so a prop bet on a KO win should be even more.

Mayweather via decision is actually not half bad for this fight either, a lot of money coming in on a Floyd stoppage win.

Not over here it isn't,Mayweather by stoppage is the best bet if you think he's going to win

Well Maidana is 10/1 to win by KO and 18/1 to win by decision at the bookies over here

That speed. He is looking VERY sharp.

Garcia got him countering those pitty pat shots Floyd throws.

Thanks for the kind words, i'm a bit surprised that not more people are expecting a really tough fight for Floyd and also a really entertaining fight. I guess its even better for them though because come May 3rd they will be pleasantly surprised.

Regardless of what happens, Maidana is going to bring the hurt, no kisses like From Ortiz, no hugs and fist bumps like Mosley did, no feather fists like RG showed all night and no respect and out boxing game plan like Canelo did.

Maidana's is "i'm throwing bombs all night, looking to hurt you every round, looking for the KO with bad intentions. May the best man win"

I think Mayweather's smartest gameplan would be movement and potshotting.. attempting to slow the pace and fight his fight. No flat footedness at all and keep the fight in the center of the ring. If he really goes into this with a more flatfooted "fight him off me" mentality... man... thats not smart and indicative of an inherent underestimation taking place.



he is..



this is Chino's beastlier evil twin right here.

Also I watched Floyd's mittwork with a close eye and roger got him about three times. Usually all roger can hit is floyds shoulder. This suggests to me Floyd may be susceptible to shots right down the pipe that are at the end of a combination.


man this fight gonna he great... I cant wait. I think people predicting a boring fight are CRAZY

Maidana looks great in that video, the best i've seen him, his punches are crisp, swift, and powerful. I love the work he was putting in the heavy bag with combinations downstairs and then upstairs, he will need to make those transitions quickly when inside.

He also looks noticably faster when watching him work the mitts, and watching him work the speed bag. Maidana will be ready.

I have no doubt he will be ready,but will he be faster or hit harder than Alvarez? No

The one thing he does bring is that cold fire (bit of an oxymoron for you there)
I think the fight will be interesting,but I think that depends more on what Mayweather does,because we know what Maidana is going to do

I hear what you are saying and I agree that how and what Mayweather does basically determines the fight, but don't underestimate Chinos ability to adapt in the ring, and be a crafty and thoughtful fighter.

I won't underestimate Maidana,and I know Floyd won't either,for all his arrogance he is always prepared for his opponent and he will be more than prepared for Maidana,it's up to MM to change the programme,simple as that

I have to agree

Two things. Lopez says Maidana hits harder.. and from my memory of the Canelo Lopez fight, Canelo picked the guy apart broke him down to the body then up top. maidana as we all know, dropped Lopez with a single punch. Overhand right. Dropped Broner with a single punch. So on.. wouldnt be surprised at all if Maidana punches harder.

And I dont think alot of people know what Maidana is bringing.. at all. Too many know it alls out there with old tape of a less conditioned Maidana, half retired Maidana.
