Comments Thread For: Mayweather Warns: Rematch Would Be Totally Different!

[ßringer]

I can't see it just because I think the ones thing that hasn't deteriated on Floyd is his chin then again you couldn't tell with Roy either.

I don't see Maidana knocking Floyd out with one shot though.

Can't even imagine if he did.

You know, the day Floyd loses (I very much believe he will lose before the end of his contract) it's going to really bring the ****** squad out.

The guy beat Maidana and because it was competitive it's seen as some crazy victory for them.

'Tards gonna 'tard, though.

As for the bolded - Let's be real : Mayweather fans started that dumb **** when Marquez knocked Pacquiao out. Somehow, that was twisted into a victory for them.

Mental illness is a b*tch.

The only thing that matters with the rematch is whether or not maidana gets to use his gloves or floyds gloves. If he is forced to use floyds gloves then probably another close decision for floyd. But if Maidana gets to use his gloves then I can see him getting the win. With his gloves if he lands flush he will hurt wobble or even put floyd down. With the pillows he lands flush and floyd can take it. there's also the cumulative effect of taking 200 odd shots off Maidana with punchers gloves as opposed to pillows.

Maidana has to stick to his guns re the gloves issue for the rematch. Him getting to use the correct gloves will also help the fight sell.

I'm watching now, with Showtime commentary (i had ****ty main event commentary here in Oz) and Paulie in round 6 is saying exactly what i thought and posted just an hour ago and exactly what i thought and many others said about Broner. They (Broner and Floyd) stood infront of Maidana and did not throw. They weren't "first" to the punch. Again i say Floyd would have done better in this particular fight if Roger came up with the gameplan for Maidana's style. He would have told Floyd to back him up and "be first."

Also i agree with Floyd on the proviso he hasn't actually gotten too old as a fighter in the fight just gone. Counter punchers generally do better in rematches.

I agree man. Against South Paws Floyd has more success when he is the aggressor backing the fighter up.

Wouldn't surprise me. A lot of those lopping overhand rights missed by a mile but I couldn't help but notice that some of just barely whizzed by. If Floyd eats more than a few of those, he'll be up ****'s creek.

Chino missed a leaping left by a whisker in one of the rounds because Floyd backed away in a straight line and if he get's Floyd on the head at the right angle he can def poleaxe him. It's counter intuitive, but Floyd actually needs to be more aggressive in a rematch to keep Maidana backing up.

Couple more thing i'm noticing late in the fight. Floyd's dirty fighting game improved in the second half. He started twisting Maidana's arm inside and returned that favour in the 12th. Maidana jiggles it showing he felt it. Also Floyd went for the glove over the mouth a few times too.

Just finished watching, i though 7,9,10,11 and 12 were pretty clear for Floyd. His defense on the ropes got better and he attacked more. Felt Chino slowed a little too. Rds 8 and if i remember 2, 4 and 3 were close ones. I though Mayweather did enough to edge a couple of them. Close fight, but i feel the way Floyd looks and even sounds makes it hard for judges to score close rounds against him. When he lands you can always see it clearly and hear it. When he is being landed on it's less obvious. Very difficult fighter to decision.

Yep. And that means cutting corners in training or who knows what. I don't think it's going to be so easy in a rematch but we'll see.

I think it will be more comfortable in the rematch but he's still going to give Floyd problems.

Floyd was the worst I've ever seen him on saturday. So much slower. Looked like he couldn't pull the trigger at times. Leaping left hook was no where to be seen and when tried was way off. Getting tagged by slow jabs at times, standing right infront of him after landing a lead right instead of slipping out on the angles.

Very alarming signs. Maidana JUST missed him quite a few times.

I've been saying it since 2012, you've been saying it even longer, but, it's very much real and apparent now and it's only down hill from here.

I would give Shawn Porter a very good shot at beating Floyd if that fight get's made between now and next September.

wow really,, what makes u think that. 1 poster brought it up, maybe floyd will actually be more agressive. a risk would be there, cause of course an exchange with maidana could be deadly but it seems like floyd cant miss him. esp to the body

[DeadLikeMe]

The rematch will have Robert Byrd and will be a totally different fight just because of that.

I was telling Bringer last week that I'm still not sure why you bother sometimes, Dan. I get that there have to be the people who oppose the ridiculousness on NSB, but sometimes you can see who is saying what or who started a thread and know it just isn't worth it.

The comparison between Roy/Tarver and Floyd/Maidana is really close.

Both Roy and Floyd were near the end and receiving a lot of "best ever" talk.

Both struggled with solid opponents they would have beaten much easier at their best, and both had the same scores. No joke, the Jones/Tarver 1 scores were 117-11, 116-112, and 114-114. A lot of people called robbery, too.

People assumed Roy would be fine and whoop Tarver in the rematch, and will assume the same if Floyd and Maidana rematch. Like Roy with Montell Griffin, people will assume the same for Floyd because of the Castillo fights.

I'm running with this, screw it. Maidana will beat Floyd in the rematch. If Floyd comes out and looks great in the 1st round of the rematch, I'll be completely confident.

[Jimmy The Geek]

Floyd can go to hell. I don't want to see a rematch with Maidana. I want to see Floyd fight one of the top contenders...like Pacman or Bradley.

Really....don't try to sell me dog poo by calling it "pudding".

yeah man, shawn porter now imagine if he gets better. if he beats brook and another top contender i would absolutely want to see floyd-porter

porter is faster then maidana, + possibly better inside game AND stronger? ur right,, porter is a big threat to an aging floyd at this point.
