Official Mayweather vs Maidana Master Discussion & Postfight Analysis Thread

[gasolina92]

I want to see Floyd have a "Bradley" moment where he stand straight up and wildly throwing looping punches even if it's just for 10 seconds.



He had a "Bradley" moment before that lasted for just a few seconds in the final round against, Oscar.

god if only maidana could get the opportunity to land those punches floyd will hit the canvas. do it floyd dont be a ***** lol

Which one are you referring to because the only time I recall Oscar buzzing Floyd was that straight punch when Floyd was gliding across the ropes in the 11th round.

I don't recall Oscar really throwing looping punches like that.

Ok so halfway through the De La Hoya-Mayweather fight (I'm really not sure I can watch the last six rounds) and here are my observations:

Oscar did throw looping rights and, in fact, they look to be a part of his strategy. He's just not very good at throwing rights though, never was. He kept missing Floyd with them early on partly because of this and partly because he kept hesitating. He has small success with :45 remaining in the fifth and then he lands a clean, beautiful one at 1:05 of the sixth when he doesn't hesitate. I think what you'll see in those instances is that Mayweather's stance does tend to leave him open to that. Going to watch the last six rounds (not today) and see what else I find. Will be interesting to see if Garcia has worked on a way to improve on landing that punch. One thing's for sure -- Maidana won't hesitate when the opportunity arises.

Just rewatched Broner/Maidana-If people are giving MM a chance simply based on that performance then they are insane,Broner is nowhere near Floyds level,he struggled to beat Paulie ffs

LOL it will be the same walk of shame and they announce and still Undefeated Floyd Money Mayweather.

Yo, is there really a buzz for the fight? It doesn't seem like people care.

People in Vegas seem to care.

The buzz seems pretty big in Vegas. According to Iole and Rafael there were way more cameras and news personnel at the press conference yesterday than the Pacquiao/past Floyd fights (minus Canelo of course) and I guess the official fighter arrivals this week was absolutely packed and there where a lot more news organizations there than usual.

I seriously think a mod needs to put this guy on suicide watch come saturday.

Looking forward to your reaction after the fight if Maidana does well or God forbid actually wins..... scratch that you wouldn't give Marcos any credit, you would just trash Floyd.

i love the maidana´s spirit of fighting
but i expect a great dominance by floyd
the firsts 3 rounds may be toe to toe, cos i believe in the power of maidana´s hands, but over the fight the floyd´s legs will be push the pace and we will see Maidana in trouble
but im expect that im wrong

Now let's take a look at Maidana's
